As we all know that Geography is the father of all courses “trust me in geography we study almost everything about the world which include various decipline. In geography we have courses like Social geography,Political geography,Manufacturing geography,Medical geography,Economic geography,Biogrography, Geography of tropical agriculture,Tourism,Environmental law, Geomorphology,Hydrology and many more.

Geographers are full of ideas, wisdom, knowledge and they also adopt the concept of environmentalism and they are well known as master planners.
A body of theories, or perhaps better called perceptions , exists regarding the interactions and affects between human beings and the physical environment. The debate amongst these ideas centers around the role of the environment: is it deterministic, is it irrelevant , or is it a matter of influence that differs based on a host of mutable factors. Many authors have spent considerable time and political capital debating these ideas, and defending particular positions. In view of this we should attempt to outline some of these ideas, and include examples that either support or deny these various perspectives. Broadly, we will focus on 3 concept.

1. Environmental determinism : the notion that the physical environment has a massive and often controlling (and perhaps never-changing and generationally stable) affect on human beings, in essence dictating their abilities in all realms of life and society. Clark University professor Ellen Churchill Semple is credited with introducing the theory to the United States after studying with human geographer Friedrich Ratzel in
Germany. Between 1920 and 1940, environmental determinism came under repeated attack as its claims were found to be severely flawed. Geographers reacted to this by first developing the softer notion of "environmental possibilism ," and later by abandoning the search for theory and causal explanation for many decades. Later, critics charged that determinism served to justify racism and imperialism . The experience of environmental determinism has left a scar on geography, with many geographers reacting negatively to any suggestion of environmental influences on human society. Some believe this rejection has gone too far, and that incorporating environmental factors into explanations of social outcomes is not only useful but necessary.

2. Possibilism or "Cultural determinism" , two related notions. Cultural determinism is the stronger of the two, in essence a rejection of the environment as a controlling influence. It claims that cultures are the result of human agency and action, and that the environment is largely a non-issue. Possibilism gives more credence to the environmental role, seeing it more from the position of sizeable influencer I.e man can conquere his environment through his ability,culture and technology. Some scholars today believed that human beigns are not pawn and our environment cannot take total control,this paradigm shift today brought the ideas of inventing Air condition,fan, artificial cloud seeding,planes fertilizer etc

3. Probabilism or "cultural ecology" , sometimes seen as a compromise or synthesis of Environmental Determinism and Cultural Determinism, but more rightly seen as a more open-ended treatment of the possibility that sometimes the environment is a key inlfuence, while at other times human actions are more so. Often tied to this discussion is the notion of cost-benefit analysis of any human actions with relationship to the environment I.e its either we can do it or not because there are certain things we can change or stop e.g earth quakes, volcanoe eruption, climate change etc

The world we live today, the settings, the development, etc were planned by geographers.*fact*

Our environment has provided so many opportunities which is now left for you to choose on your own free will,you can decide decide to b rich and you can decide to be poor*slysinzu 2016*

i hail thy.... its geography and others!!! bro wat a nice write up.... i love been a geographer
