“Human geography is not only about describing the spatial manifestations of economy and society; it is about explaining how space transforms and shapes societies and social processes” (Daniels, et al., 2005). Discuss based on at least two important areas of economic geography. Human geography is a “major field of geography that is centrally concerned with how place, space, and environment are both the condition and partly the consequence of human activities” ( Gregory et al 2009 P 350) and therefore in accordance with Daniels et al. We can affirm that human geography effectively transforms and shapes societies. To illustrate how “space is transformed and shapes societies and social processes” by human geography (Daniels et al. 2005); In this essay, I will focus on the effect of human geography on society from an economic perspective and specifically from the aspects of consumption and globalization. Economic geography is an important aspect of human geography that has evolved rapidly since the 1960s. An emphasis on location analysis. Economic geography in the 1960s and 1970s focused on the scientific analysis of location (Fawn 2009), at a time when consumption was changing rapidly under the influence of Henry Ford. Fordism has been described as "a model of economic expansion and technological progress based on mass production: the manufacturing of standardized products in enormous volumes using special machinery and unskilled labor." » (Tolliday and Zeitlin 1987 P 1-2). Fordism began in the automobile sector. industry, but was later adopted in several sectors of the economy. The way people started consuming also changed as mass consumption was introduced...... middle of paper ...... worldwide it has been increasing rapidly in recent times, Most people and societies around the world are affected by globalization in some aspect. However, how globalization is progressing and whether or not it is beneficial is contested and is what interests economic geographers. Consumption is fundamental to the way geographies are established and experienced in society and to the way they are situated in space and places. The way we consume is also evolving and has been completely transformed, as evidenced by the infiltration of e-commerce into society, and consumption itself has been greatly affected by globalization. The geography of the world economy regarding globalization and consumption still needs continued research, because the effects that different societies have on each other transcend geographic boundaries..
