How much does geography shape people's lives?

plz answer asap!!

I would argue that geography impacts everyone's life to some extent. For example, Boston probably has more people making a living harvesting seafood than, say, Omaha. Physical location is also one of the main factors in the success of a new nation-- specifically midlatitude states where the basic nutritional needs of its citizens can be met due to high-calorie crops' availability. Also, countries with large coastlines and many deep water ports for a long time dominated global trade, giving them a economic advantage over their competitors. At least one of these factors probably helped determine any given country's success (or lack thereof) and thus, the opportunities of its people.

While physical geography is a factor in the makeup of people's lives I think it is far from the only one.

HTH :)

it was certainly a debatable decision, mainly because it was based primarily on political - and not on legal or social - views. since the congress at that time was led by members of the republican party, and the territory that the tribes wanted to turn into an exclusively indian state was predominantly democratic, the proposal (as expressed in the constitution) did not succeed, but the constitution itself proved to be of crucial importance in the creation of the state of oklahoma, and, most importantly, it guaranteed the involvement of representatives of the indian tribes in the government of the future joint state.  

as a member of congress, i would have voted to ratify the constitution, or at least to have it tabled. ignoring it was an interested and partial decision.
