In Chapter 2 of Place the book focuses on how geography directly relates to place. It shows us that there are a lot of different views about how place can coincide with geography, but it is evidently clear that geography is very important to where place is. When we talk about geography we instantly think that the location, region or area is what we would call our place. As Cresswell tell us it is not just the location, but how the location shapes our culture that makes up place. Another thing that chapter two talks about is the importance of politics involved in how place relates to geography. Creswell mentioned that Chinatown was not just defined by culture alone, but more or less in how it was a failure of epic proportions when you talk about the drug problems, prostitution, and gambling. This is an example of how the government can persuade the public to believe things are bad verses good. Another example of media portraying images in order to get people to follow is the war we are in now. The new only shows the worst, never the in between and the good things that happen which gives people a bad opinion about everything going on without getting the full representation.
