2(i)What important cultural features do you observe while going to school? Are they similar or dissimilar? Should they be included in the study of geography or not? If yes, why?Show solution
While going to school, we may observe many cultural features such as houses, shops, roads, vehicles, schools, markets, bridges, parks, and people’s activities. These features are usually dissimilar from place to place because human settlements and activities vary with time and space.

Yes, they should be included in the study of geography because geography studies the relationship between human beings and their physical environment and also the spatial distribution of human-made features. These cultural features help explain how people organise space and how human activities vary from one place to another.
