Today in class we worked on and explained how cultural landscape. A region can be defined as an area of land that has similar characteristics. A regions cultural landscape is the combination of both cultural and physical characteristics that define a region. Such as, language of the people, topography and climate. The exercise to go with this lesson was to define regions in the united states based on their location and what the most popular votes were in the 2004, 2008, and the 2012 presidential elections. In this exercise we found states that voted either republican or democratic in every election and grouped them together with the states that voted the same way. This helped us find the connection between how the cultural landscape and the region it defines.
Toady in class instead of reviewing the test we read and took notes on the next three sections. The first section was on the Rise of Christianity and talked about how Jesus' teachings spread. The most important reason they spread was because his teachings brought salvation to all. Christianity was a vision that a Roman emperor had before he went into battle. They won the battle and he made it so Christians would no longer be persecuted.
