The position of one place (or person) in relation to the position of another place (or person)

The areas we occupy as humans; it has no value until the people who occupy it make it their own

How we modify space based on who we are as a group of people

The built forms that cultural groups create in inhabiting Earth — farm fields, cities, houses, and so on — and the meaning, values, representations, and experiences associated with those forms

The idea that actions and conditions in one place are increasingly linked to actions and conditions in other places around the globe.

Time-space compression

The decreasing distance between places, as measured by travel time or cost; often summarized by the phrase “the world is shrinking”

The ties established between regions and countries that over time collectively create a global economic system that is not necessarily based on equality

The physical and human forces that work together to form and transform the world

The pattern by which a phenomenon such as the movement of people, or their ideas, technologies, or preferences, spreads from a particular location through space and time

Independent invention

Occurs when the same or a very similar innovation is developed at the same time in different places by different people working independently

Occurs when ideas or practices spread throughout a population, from area to area, in a snowballing process, so that the total number of knowers or users and the areas of occurrence increase

Hierarchical diffusion

Occurs when ideas leapfrog from one important person, community, or city to another, bypassing other persons, communities, or rural areas

Reverse hierarchical diffusion

Occurs when ideas leapfrog from a lower level of a hierarchy to a higher level

The wavelike spread of ideas in the manner of a contagious disease or forest fire, moving throughout space without regard for hierarchy

Occurs when a specific trait is rejected, but the underlying idea is accepted

Occurs when individuals or groups with a particular idea or practice migrate from one location to another, thereby bringing the idea or practice to their new homeland

The inhibiting effect of distance on the intensity and volume of most forms of human interaction; time-space compression diminishes friction of distance

Space	The areas we occupy as humans; it has no value until the people who occupy it make it their own
Place	How we modify space based on who we are as a group of people
Cultural landscape	The built forms that cultural groups create in inhabiting Earth — farm fields, cities, houses, and so on — and the meaning, values, representations, and experiences associated with those forms
Globalization	The idea that actions and conditions in one place are increasingly linked to actions and conditions in other places around the globe.
Time-space compression	The decreasing distance between places, as measured by travel time or cost; often summarized by the phrase “the world is shrinking”
Interdependence	The ties established between regions and countries that over time collectively create a global economic system that is not necessarily based on equality

Diffusion	The pattern by which a phenomenon such as the movement of people, or their ideas, technologies, or preferences, spreads from a particular location through space and time
Independent invention	Occurs when the same or a very similar innovation is developed at the same time in different places by different people working independently
Expansion diffusion	Occurs when ideas or practices spread throughout a population, from area to area, in a snowballing process, so that the total number of knowers or users and the areas of occurrence increase
Hierarchical diffusion	Occurs when ideas leapfrog from one important person, community, or city to another, bypassing other persons, communities, or rural areas
Reverse hierarchical diffusion	Occurs when ideas leapfrog from a lower level of a hierarchy to a higher level
