The effect of geographical conditions

Effect of geographical condition

Geographical conditions are not same everywhere which creates differences in the living tools. You may see different types of houses in the cold area compared to the houses in the hot area. The houses in the cold area have to be built with respect to the geographical condition and this strategy also applies for the houses to be built in the hot areas. So there is no way you can ignore natural factors. Not even house, but also many other decisions are hugely affected by geographical factors. Now we will be discussing those in short. Certain trees grow only in certain place; it would be hard to find those trees other place. People’s pattern of occupation differs from place to place or even nation to nation. Even people’s physical structures are not similar all over the world. African people are more strongly built than the Asian people and European people are comparatively fairer than the Asian and African people. What you think what is the reason behind this distinction? Does Geography play any role or not? If you think yes, then you are absolutely right, geographical condition in those areas plays a major role for those differences.

Biological environment affecting society

Like physical environment, biological environment also has great impact on the society we are living in. You see different types of people in different area. European people usually have blue eyes, sharp nose and straight hair and they are sometimes called Caucasoid. In the Malaysia, China and near India, you can see people totally different from European region. People living in those areas are called mongoloid and white-brown mix skin, small eyes is their fundamental characteristic. If you go to south-west from Asia, you will be seeing people having black skin, gigantic figure and curly hair. Therefore you see structure of people differs greatly from region to region. Like biological environment, Social environment also has major influence over the society we are living in. If you are living in a well developed economy, then your lifestyle would be different from the people living in less developed society. So like biological environment, social environment also affect our society

Different kinds of Environment affecting Society

Environment affecting society

There are physical, biological and social environment which affect the society we are living in. therefore knowing those environment could be beneficial. We will be discussing those sequentially

Physical Environment affecting Society

Whether you are living in the plains area, hills area or in desert area, certainly affect your lifestyle. If you live in hill area, you will be leading a complete different lifestyle compared to the people living in plain area. Population in plain area is visibly much greater than the hill area. Economy is also better in plain area along with better communication ways. In the plain area, you can see democratic political system like in Bangladesh but on the other hand mainly autocrat system prevails in the hill area where people are bound to follow their ruler’s orders. In the plain areas, most of the times we see homogeneous religion but on the other hand we see different religions prevail in the hill areas.     

Steps in Sociological research

Any research can be two types, one is quantitative and other is qualitative. In quantitative research you can do survey or census or even both. As a qualitative research you got many options in hand, you can go for case study, observation, FGD (Focus Group Discussion) and so on. Now we will talk a little bit about steps in sociological research below-

At the very beginning of the research you have to define the specific problem accurately. After defining the problem reviewing previous researches could be an effective tool. Then you can form a hypothesis or if you want you can make several hypotheses. Hypothesis is done; now decide what will be the research design. Next step would be determining a particular sample and collecting relevant information about that sample. Now that you have collected relevant data, your very next step should be analyzing those data systematically and then making conclusion. And of course last step is preparing your report.
