For the next half of this series, we will be discussing Human Geography — so we’ll still be looking at the Earth, but specifically, how human activity affects and is influenced by the Earth. Naturally, we thought the best place to start was to discuss how we name things in the first place! As it turns out, a name carries so much history of a place but also represents the political power and evolving perception of that space. So today, we’re going to tell the story of the highest point in North America – a mountain known by many names including Mount McKinley and Denali.

I'm thrilled to see the name of my city "Vijayawada" on the board in the video ( at 12th second ). If in case you wanna know, it's in South India, in the state of Andhra Pradesh. Just happy to mention this in the comments box.
And, loving the series… in fact all of them.
Love from India 💌
I love this videos. 😍 Do you have a book you recommend that gives a comprehensive study on Geography? Cheers. Liam.
This is great. But, and I confess for a moment I thought somewhere she would jokingly say "WAIT! WAIT! WE KNOW BUT DON'T CLICK AWAY! WE'VE LEARNED OUR LESSON LAST TIME!!!"
Superb!
Psyched for human geography!! I read once that geography is about maps, history is about chaps! Glad your series is muddying that picture up! 😃
Human beings organize themselves into businesses as well as political parties.
who decided that?

One doesn’t experience self-transcendence, the illusion of self only dissipates🎈
You kinda glossed over it… but Mt McKinley was named such LONG before it was a US state… long before it even became a US territory even. A large part of naming things in Alaska after political figures was to try to get attention to making alaska a state because it would greatly benefit those seeking natural resources like gold, coal, oil etc. And…. it worked haha. The same thing happened in Hawaii though not as pronounced.
My least favorite part of geography. I love physical geography more. But looking forward to it.
4 years later….finally back
The mountain doesn't care about what name us pesky humans give it.

Human geography is a great field! There is so much to study with it! I did a masters in urban geography and my thesis was on iconic architecture and the power dynamics influencing the way cities in neo-liberal economies are produced
Just shy of five years from this channel's first try at human geography. Already it seems to be off to a better start.
Voldemort!!! Beetlejuice!!! Those names have got some real power…
