AP Human Units 1,2,3,5,7 Test & Review Cheat Sheet
- Understanding Cultural Diffusion - Cultural diffusion is like a global game of "telephone" where ideas, foods, and fashions spread in different ways: contagious diffusion moves things person‑to‑person, hierarchical diffusion jumps from big cities to small towns, and stimulus diffusion adapts ideas as they travel. Think of sushi evolving from a Japanese staple into fusion rolls on every corner of the world. aphumangeo.com Unit 3 details
- Exploring Cultural Landscapes - Cultural landscapes are living history books written in stone, paint, and plants, showing how humans leave their mark on the land. From the jazz‑filled streets of New Orleans' French Quarter to the terraced rice paddies of Southeast Asia, each scene tells a story of blending cultures. AP Human Geography Culture Flashcards
- Distinguishing Between Folk and Popular Culture - Folk culture is like a secret family recipe passed down through generations, practiced by small, tight‑knit groups, while popular culture is the viral trend on your favorite social feed. Picture traditional Amish quilting circles versus the latest global pop song topping charts. Culture & Language Flashcards
- Examining Language Families and Dialects - Languages form big families - like the Indo-European clan that includes English, Spanish, and Hindi - and split into regional dialects with their own slang and accents. Dialects reflect history, migration, and isolation, making each region's speech unique. aphumangeo.com Unit 3 details
- Analyzing Religious Patterns - Universalizing religions (e.g., Christianity, Islam) actively seek converts worldwide, while ethnic religions (e.g., Hinduism, Judaism) are closely tied to specific cultures or areas. These faiths shape traditions, holidays, and even the layout of sacred sites across the globe. Barron's Unit 3 Notes
- Understanding Ethnic Neighborhoods - Ethnic neighborhoods like San Francisco's Chinatown or New York's Little Italy showcase how immigrants recreate home away from home. They preserve language, cuisine, and festivals, creating vibrant cultural pockets in big cities. AP Human Geography Culture Flashcards
- Exploring Cultural Appropriation and Commodification - When elements of one culture are adopted by another group - sometimes without respect or understanding - it can lead to commodification, turning sacred symbols into trendy accessories. Think of how Native American headdresses have been misused in fashion. Culture & Language Flashcards
- Examining Time‑Space Compression - Time‑space compression describes how modern transport and tech shrink distances, speeding up cultural exchanges. A meme created in Tokyo can circle the globe in seconds, and international flights can make weekend getaways routine. Flashcards.io Culture Deck
- Understanding Sequent Occupance - Sequent occupance is the concept that successive societies layer their cultural imprints over time, creating a rich tapestry in places like Rome, where ancient ruins, medieval walls, and modern piazzas coexist. Each era leaves clues for curious students to uncover. aphumangeo.com Unit 3 details
- Analyzing Globalization's Impact on Culture - Globalization can homogenize cultures - think fast‑food chains everywhere - but it also sparks creative mashups, like sushi burritos or Bollywood‑inspired fashion. This push‑pull shapes how traditions survive, adapt, or fade away. Barron's Unit 3 Notes
