- Review information from the previous session.
- Remind students that, as with other divisions, political spatial divisions can result in conflict. That conflict can be caused by the following reasons:
• Boundary and territorial disputes — e.g., Syria/Israel, Western Sahara/Morocco, China/Taiwan, India/Pakistan, Iraq/Kuwait
• Cultural differences (language, religion) — e.g., Indonesia, Canada (Quebec), Ireland, Sudan
• Economic differences — e.g., fertile land, access to fresh water, access to coast, fishing rights, natural resources, different economic philosophies
• Ethnic differences — e.g., Balkans, Cyprus, Rwanda and Burundi, Kashmir
• Nationalism.
- Instruct students to annotate a world map with these areas, using symbols or drawings to reflect the cause of the conflicts. Notes explaining the reason for the conflict as well as the outcome should be attached to the maps or secured in the student’s notebook of class notes.
