One World, One Voice

This is a connection (interdependence) music video, done with lots of musicians across the world (some famous i.e. Sting), cleverly entitled 'one voice, one world'. The first minute of this song provides a great lyrical insight into Interdependence. The concept of this 'one voice' illustrates the global community we now live in. Have a butchers.

Hello again, hope you are enjoying our blog?

We have decided to add a few diagrams to instil the concept of Interdependence. Hopefully this will clear up any uncertainties that you had.

Facebook oozes Interdependence. As you can see from the homepage, which we all recognise ,we can see that 'facebook helps you connect and share with the people in your life', as you can see where these connections are made (interms of their geographical position). As a little activity look at your 'mutual friends' and try to make 10 connections between them. This in a nutshell is what Interdependence is all about.


We have attempted to simply conceptualise interdependence in the above model. All three places are geographically separate in terms of location. However, they are all interconnected in terms of the strands of interdependence, which can be broken down into: Social
Economic
Political
Environmental
Cultural

In addition all 3 places are located within a framework of globalisation.

We will return to these strands of interdendence in future blogs!

Hello all. We hope you enjoy our introductory post on interdependence.

To give you the basic structure of interdependence we advise you play the game. This game will help you understand how interdependence works. When playing the game think about; if one of the objects were to be taken away from the system would it effect the links and system overall?

When researching interdependence in more depth, common words kept cropping up. Below is a 'word cloud' containing reoccurring words related to interdependence.

The geointerdependence word cloud generates some interesting words which has hopefully helped in your understanding, but also generated your enquiry taste buds for this Key Stage 3 Geography concept idea.

Thanks for reading and keep your eyes peeled for our next blog.

Welcome to our geointerdependence blog

Hello and welcome to geointerdependence. Thank-you for visiting us.

Myself (Dan) and Josh, set this blog up to develop viewers understanding of Interdependence. The world we live in today is linked together more than it ever has been, we now live in what is known as the global-community. Nations are no longer a single entity, economics, environmental, political and social connections, connect these places together. Human action in one place could have consequences or benefits somewhere else, for example the global economic depression or a local charity event that will help those who are less fortunate somewhere else.

We hope our blogs develop your understanding of interdependence and how you fit within the wider world, as those insignificant events that you feel play no part in your world, maybe significant in someone else's world, or the wider world around you.

Thanks for viewing

Dan and Josh
