The way we are adapted with our society is called social life.

At
the most basic, social life is the combination of various
components: activities, people, and places. While all of those
components are required to define a social life, the nature of each
component is different for every person, and can change for each
person, as affected by a variety of external influences.Geography
is a big factor in determining our social life.Prevalent social life is
greatly affected by geographic conditions, or the natural physical
environ- ment;
Geographic conditions, or the natural physical environment
presented by the country inhabited, must be recognized as including aspect, soil, water supply, other mineral resources, flora,
fauna, and topography. The less conspicuous geographic
differences socially important.We are all familiar in a superficial way with the obvious fact that
the activities of a people are largely determined by their
geographic environment. Life cannot be the same in arctic regions
as in the tropics; nor upon deserts of drifting sand as upon the
grassy steppes which afford the natural home for wander- ing
shepherds and their herds; nor upon the seacoast with its
fisheries and commerce as among the mountains with their
forests and mines. But it is not alone the extreme and unusual
manifesta- tions of nature which affect the life of man. It may be
that the very absence of extremes has served to make Europe the
seat of the richest civilization

Geographic conditions determine the size of populations.Thronging cities are found where the geographic condition is
favourable. And in the original development of civilization
populations first assembled in considerable density where nature
was especially lavish of food. Thus the valleys of the Nile,
Euphrates, Ganges, and Peiho became cradles of civilization. Far
more, in the earlier stages of development, when social activities
were mainly indigenous, any great advance- ment was
conditioned upon considerable number and density of population.
Where the numbers were large the chances of inven- tion were
proportionally increased, as well as the chances that such
inventions as occurred would not be lost but would spread, and
become fertilely combined with other elements of progress.
Geography plays a part in defining the economy of where people
live.Geographic situation determines both demand and supply. For
example, the economic products de- manded in a cold country are
not the same as those demanded in a hot country. Supply and the
occupations of production are determined by the raw materials
and natural advantages available. In one region the men will be
farmers, in another herdsmen, in another fishers and sailors, in
another hunters, trap- pers, woodsmen, in another miners.
To a great extent, the geography of a settlement determines what
kind of industry grows in that settlement. Simply put, if you live
on a river or the shore of an ocean, you're probably going to own
a fish market or a trading company or something that uses the
natural resource right under your nose. If you live next to an area

that has a lot of coal deposits, you're probably going to work in a

coal mine or in an industry that supports coal mining. It's a lot
easier for people who live next to the ocean to catch and sell fish
than it is for people who live a long way from a water source. This
sounds silly, but it is merely an example of taking advantage of
what Nature gives you. a large part of the oil shipments come
from the Middle East? Because that's where a large part of the oil
deposits are. Most people today need oil for something. The most
common use is probably to power cars and trucks and buses. But
people who live nowhere near areas of oil deposits must depend
on other people to send that oil and gasoline around the world, so
everyone who needs it can get it.The Egyptians used the Nile
River to ship their goods to other civilizations and, in turn, to
receive goods from those other civilizations.
Agriculture and Trade depends on geography. Because the
farmland in their area is more receptive to these crops. You can
try to grow these crops in the wet farmland of China and
Southeast Asia, but they won't grow very well. Those areas get a
lot more rain, which means the ground is a lot more wet than it is
in Kansas, Iowa, and Nebraska. In China and Southeast Asia, rice
is the crop of choice because the farmland there makes it easier
to grow rice than to grow wheat.
Mythologies and religions are influenced by geographic environment. Most people are born into their religion. Geography
definitely has an impact on this, because it depends on where

youre born. Santa Claus is a mythical figure in Christian mythology who brings
gifts to the homes of well-behaved, "good" children on Christmas Eve.

-if you were born in Canada youre more likely to be of Christian

faith than any others. Because 67.3% of Canadas population is
made up of Christianity. It can be clearly sensed by the influence
of religion shaping our world, being understood by what inhabits
it. In the sixteenth-seventeenth century Geographers studied the
spread of Christianity on a worldwide scale, Why? well because at
the time that was the only religion that was flourishing and if not
the biggest, one of the biggest religions in the world. For example
take Canada it's mainly made up of the protestant religion.
Compared to if you live in Tokyo you would be more likely to be
Shintoism.
Art & literature reflects our society, our past & present.Geography
has a great impact on Art & literature. Bangladesh is a riverine
country. So most of its novels and literature such as Padma nodir
majhi, titash akti nodir nam are based on its rivers, its geography.
