Is Geography Destiny?

Ebola Article

I think that geography is not necessarily destiny. I dont agree with the fact that geography is destiny because of the themes of geography which are region and movement.

First of all, geography doesn’t necessarily mean destiny to people because of the region. In the article, The U.S. Urges Africa to Step up Ebola Prevention; By: Joseph Muraya, it mentions the regions in which are affected by Ebola and its spread. The regions would consist of North America (The Southeast, or Atlanta) and West Africa. Many things happened because of Ebola and its affect on these regions. A few of some things that resulted from Ebola consist of the people in these regions. They either had to be isolated if they had been affected by Ebola, or they had to temporarily move away from the areas with severe effects from Ebola. This shows that geography is not destiny because of all the things going on in the regions. The people there might have started in these regions, whether they were at an advantage or not, and they could adapt to the region.

Second, geography doesn’t necessarily mean destiny to people because of the movement. In the article, The U.S. Urges Africa to Step up Ebola Prevention; By: Joseph Muraya, it mentions the movement that occurred during the time of Ebola. Ebola affected the people in the regions previously mentioned and causes many ways of movements. People came to and from the U.S. as well as West Africa. In the U.S., people were getting prepared to go to West Africa and aid the region there, which was affected by Ebola. Also, people came from West Africa to get treated in the U.S. In West Africa, people from helping countries aided the places severely affected by Ebola. Also, people came in and out to help with Ebola and to move away and get treated from Ebola. This shows that geography is not destiny because of all the movement that has occurred in a result from Ebola. The people moved both to and from West Africa and the U.S. to do what is necessary for the people.

In conclusion, I think that geography is not necessarily destiny because of the regions and movement.
