Oklahoma Academic Standard 1. The student will analyze and summarize the impact of the major patterns of political, economic, and cultural change over time to 1450 CE and their long-term influences.

Objective 1.1  Evaluate the impact of geography and trade on the development of culture in Africa, Asia, and Europe including religion, philosophy, and political belief.

In a Nutshell

It is important for students to understand that geography and physical environments define human action and movement, the growth of trade, and development of technology- all of which connects the world’s people and cultures. Examining religions, philosophy, and political structures reveals the impact of these causal factors and cross-cultural interactions.
