B. Geography offers a set of concepts, skills, and tools that facilitate critical thinking and problem solving.  Explain major geographical concepts underlying the geographic perspective.  Geographical concepts include location, place, scale, space, pattern, nature and society, networks, flows, regionalization, and globalization.  Use landscape analysis to examine the human organization of space.  Landscape analysis (e.g., field observations, photographic interpretations) provides a context for understanding the location of people, places, regions, and events; human–environment relationships; and interconnections between and among places and regions. C. Geographical skills provide a foundation for analyzing patterns and processes.  Use spatial thinking to analyze  People apply spatial concepts to interpret and understand population and migration; cultural

Knowledge of the geographic patterns and characteristics of human populations facilitates understanding of cultural, political, economic, and urban systems.  Analyze the distribution of human populations at different scales.  Factors that explain patterns of population distribution vary according to the scale of analysis (i.e., local to global)  Physical factors (e.g., climate, land water bodies) and human factors (e.g., cultural, economic, historical, political) influence the distribution of population.
 Analyze reasons for changes in fertility rates in different parts of the world.  Changing social values and access to education, employment, health care, and contraception have reduced fertility in most parts of the world.  Changing social, economic, and political for women have influenced the patterns of fertility, mortality, and migration.  Explain the causes and implications of an aging population.  An aging population has social (e.g., retirement), economic (e.g., dependency ratio), and political (e.g., voting patterns) implications. C. Causes and consequences of migration are influenced by cultural, demographic, economic, environmental, and political factors.  Explain how push and pull factors contribute to migration.  Push and pull factors can be cultural (e.g., religious freedom), demographic (e.g., unbalanced sex ratios, overpopulation), economic (e.g., jobs), environmental (e.g., natural disasters), or political (e.g., persecution).  Push factors are often negative (e.g., poor economic conditions, warfare), while pull factors are often perceived as positive (e.g., a better quality of life, economic opportunities).  the concepts of forced and voluntary migration to historical and contemporary examples.  Forced migrations include those involving refugees, internally displaced persons, and asylum seekers.  Voluntary migrations may be transnational, internal, chain, step, and rural to urban.  Patterns of voluntary and forced migration may be affected by distance and physical features.  Analyze major historical migrations.  Major historical migrations include forced migration of Africans to the Americas, immigration waves to the U.S., and emigration from Europe and Asia to colonies abroad.  Analyze the cultural, economic, environmental, and political consequences of migration.  Governments institute policies to encourage or restrict migration.  Migration has consequences (e.g., remittances; spread of languages, religions, innovations, diseases) for areas that generate or receive migrants.
