The way the Costa Rica social organization is set up is the Valle Central (Most people have a Spanish or european descent). at the top of the food chain. Then there is the people that have a large Spanish descent. After Would be the very small Chinese population which own business in hospitality and Tourism. At the end is people of african descent who until 1949 could not work where they wanted and preventing people of african descent from working on banana plantations.

The 5 themes are everything to a country you have to have the 5 themes of else you country will fall apart. Place is very important because it can shape so many things. Government for example is how you country remains stable the government must have every law figured out and also must be able to protect the citizens from outside and inside threats. Costa Rica does this by maintaining a police force to protect the citizens and also help the citizens get and maintain stable jobs. Arts and literature are also very important if you don't have arts and literature then it would be very hard to learn how to wright and it would also impact creativity. Costa Rica's people are very art based always drawing something. Costa rica's people have also used books and art to express there opinions on all kinds of issues from political to environmental. Customs and traditions are essential to a country because if you have no customs and traditions the people would have nothing to celebrate and would not think for themselves which would lead to violence and crazy people doing more for what they think is right and wrong. Customs and traditions can also depend heavily on religion. Costa Rica has many traditions stemming from the roman catholic religion like Christmas, baptisms, and easter. Religion and traditions can go hand in hand because many traditions come from religions. This is also true for Costa Rica"s main religion roman catholic which has easter, christmas, etc. Region is also extremely important because it decides where people will live what they will have to endure and many other things. In Costa Rica many people live in the central valley because it is flat has fertile land and because there are many natural barriers between the central valley and all of the of the other places in Costa Rica. Humans are also placed in regions like the fact that most of the black population is in the Caribbean because of past laws and most of the indians live on the ends of the country. HEI is important as well because it decides what type of place you will be living in the future and whether it will be a wasteland or a wonderland. Costa Rica's people have always taken care of the environment and plan to be the first carbon neutral country on the planet. Because of this Costa Rica's environment has not be as drastically affected as many other that now have poisonous water and the air is hard to breath. Movement is what affects population, money, imports, and exports. Movement is affected by location, HEI, place, and region which is why even though it is important the other will decide more that movement itself will decide. Movement is impacted by how you government is run which is part of place, what resources you can import and export which is decided by region and HEI, how accessible it is to make it to the location which is location. Costa Rica is very accessible you can get in by water or air. Location is both one of the most important and least important at the same time. This is because location is decided before anything else. You can be born into that location ]]> 2018-02-21 15:40:22 UTC https://padlet.com/lucasbrenner_stu/ipfy97n1bvtp/wish/233798637 lucasbrenner_stu https://padlet.com/lucasbrenner_stu/ipfy97n1bvtp/wish/233798833 Costa Rica has very low amounts of people emigrating but is now having people from all around the world immigrate into the country. Because of all of the migration happening in Costa Rica there population is starting to see a rise. The DTM stage is 3 because the birth rate is starting to decline and the death rate is also starting to drop. The map shows a vase like mold which also puts it at a stage 3. The stage three is just starting out though because you can still see when it was a stage 2 so that means that it is a very early stage 3. The density map shows that right in the middle of the country is the population center and that there is a small population everywhere else. This could be explained by the fact that all around Costa Rica there are natural barriers which make it hard to move out of the center for long periods of time. ]]> 2018-02-21 15:40:42 UTC https://padlet.com/lucasbrenner_stu/ipfy97n1bvtp/wish/233798833 lucasbrenner_stu https://padlet.com/lucasbrenner_stu/ipfy97n1bvtp/wish/233798996 Costa Rica is very diverse in it's regions it has at least 6 regions and all of them are very different. Center valley is where most of the population lives it is also has lots of  fertile land. The north central also know as the northern lowlands is where most tourist go because of the Arenal volcano and because of all of the hiking trails. The central pacific has a mild temperature being both dry and wet depending on the time you go there. The central pacific has many hotels and is a place where several companies ship there goods from. The north pacific is a place of beaches it has at least 3 beaches. Because of the number of beaches and the climate it makes it a good spot for tourism. The caribbean coast has several beaches and clear water places but is not visited by most tourist because of the climate which is very rainy. Finally there is the south pacific which has lots of animals and plants. The south pacific is also protected by the government of Costa Rica. In each of these regions there are smaller regions where animals may live or plants.]]> 2018-02-21 15:40:57 UTC https://padlet.com/lucasbrenner_stu/ipfy97n1bvtp/wish/233798996 lucasbrenner_stu https://padlet.com/lucasbrenner_stu/ipfy97n1bvtp/wish/233799504 Costa Rica is very nice to it's inhabitants. Because of it's location it stays relatively warm most of the time it is 70-81 degrease F everyday during the dry season. Also because of it's location their is never a summer or winter. Costa Rica does have a rainy season from May to December. During the rainy season it can rain 100 inches or more. Costa Rica is one of the most diverse in climates and microclimates.

They have rainforest, tropical dry forest, cloud forest and lots of jungles.

Costa Rica is also in the manufacturing business making and selling everything from bananas to computer chips.]]> 2018-03-02 14:55:44 UTC https://padlet.com/lucasbrenner_stu/ipfy97n1bvtp/wish/237420150 lucasbrenner_stu https://padlet.com/lucasbrenner_stu/ipfy97n1bvtp/wish/242819974 Humans impact the environment of Costa Rica in many ways. Costa Rica's main goal is to be carbon neutral by 2021 by using mostly renewable resources to produce energy this was put in place by the president of Costa Rica. Humans have also impacted the environment of Costa Rica from and farming their main generators of revenue are pineapple, sugar, wood, coffee, and bananas. Deforestation was a very large part of Costa Rica until 1996 when a ban was placed. Costa Rica also has a problem with poachers killing wildlife and hunting endangered sea turtles and sharks. Costa Rica is now one of the most clean places on Earth with one of the smallest carbon footprints on Earth but it still has some issues that make it still a place of humans. ]]> 2018-03-16 13:56:41 UTC https://padlet.com/lucasbrenner_stu/ipfy97n1bvtp/wish/242819974 lucasbrenner_stu https://padlet.com/lucasbrenner_stu/ipfy97n1bvtp/wish/251556511 2018-04-13 13:57:06 UTC https://padlet.com/lucasbrenner_stu/ipfy97n1bvtp/wish/251556511 lucasbrenner_stu https://padlet.com/lucasbrenner_stu/ipfy97n1bvtp/wish/253478451 2018-04-19 15:22:43 UTC https://padlet.com/lucasbrenner_stu/ipfy97n1bvtp/wish/253478451 lucasbrenner_stu https://padlet.com/lucasbrenner_stu/ipfy97n1bvtp/wish/253488941 2018-04-19 15:40:01 UTC https://padlet.com/lucasbrenner_stu/ipfy97n1bvtp/wish/253488941 lucasbrenner_stu https://padlet.com/lucasbrenner_stu/ipfy97n1bvtp/wish/253492489 Costa Rica started as a place for the indians then with the Spanish inquisition most of those people where killed or sold as slaves. After that the Spanish moved into Costa Rica and brought with them their customs and traditions. As Costa Rica brought in slaves from Africa it also brought with them their customs as well. After that when people where plugged into the internet everyone there got a culture shock and now they have several different cultures ]]> 2018-04-19 15:46:00 UTC https://padlet.com/lucasbrenner_stu/ipfy97n1bvtp/wish/253492489 lucasbrenner_stu https://padlet.com/lucasbrenner_stu/ipfy97n1bvtp/wish/253492872 Costa Rica exported 9.9B and imported 14.7B in 2016 The main exports are bananas, medical instruments, tropical fruits, circuits, petroleum, and many more. Costa Rica imports very little and just imports what it needs. ]]> 2018-04-19 15:46:36 UTC https://padlet.com/lucasbrenner_stu/ipfy97n1bvtp/wish/253492872 lucasbrenner_stu https://padlet.com/lucasbrenner_stu/ipfy97n1bvtp/wish/253499330 Costa Rica is on two tectonic plates which is why the country has so many volcanoes. Because of its location Costa Rica also has many earthquakes and is surrounded by mountain ranges. The tectonic plates under Costa Rica are the Cocos and the Caribbean plate. The Cocos plate is sub ducting the Caribbean plate. ]]> 2018-04-19 15:57:34 UTC https://padlet.com/lucasbrenner_stu/ipfy97n1bvtp/wish/253499330 lucasbrenner_stu https://padlet.com/lucasbrenner_stu/ipfy97n1bvtp/wish/256525270 The Costa Rican people where separated based on there ancestry and the color of their skin for a long time and because of that the regions of Costa Rica where born. Now most of the indigenous tribes along with people from Africa that have darker skin live mostly in the Caribbean coast this is because of the laws that denied blacks from working anywhere else. People that are lighter live more in the Central Valley. The north is home to indian tribes that have a lighter color but are not considered to be white. In Costa Rica many people from other counties come because of some laws that make it easy to move there. Because of the segregation of Costa Rica in the 20th century most of the population still lives like that today. As the people and world change Costa Rica will probably become more diverse and everyone will live everywhere. It is slowly starting to happen but is not in a full swing yet.]]> 2018-04-30 14:14:39 UTC https://padlet.com/lucasbrenner_stu/ipfy97n1bvtp/wish/256525270 lucasbrenner_stu https://padlet.com/lucasbrenner_stu/ipfy97n1bvtp/wish/257241965 2018-05-02 13:47:17 UTC https://padlet.com/lucasbrenner_stu/ipfy97n1bvtp/wish/257241965 lucasbrenner_stu https://padlet.com/lucasbrenner_stu/ipfy97n1bvtp/wish/257277217 2018-05-02 14:46:57 UTC https://padlet.com/lucasbrenner_stu/ipfy97n1bvtp/wish/257277217 lucasbrenner_stu https://padlet.com/lucasbrenner_stu/ipfy97n1bvtp/wish/258027311 The 5 themes of geography impact each other in many different ways. The 5 themes impact everything for a country and is how countries are created. For you country to be stable it requires all of the 5 themes to impact each other. Location impacts everything because it is the start of everything you must know the location to find out more like the regions of the country. Movement is impacted by almost everything location,  region, HEI, and place. Movement is affected by everything because it determines how much you can sell where you can sell, population, traditions moving, and so much more. HEI affects almost everything as well because if you have lots of goods that you harvest from the environment then the country will shoot through the roof and regions will start to be removed because of the resources that are being removed. This means that movement would be affected because the country could sell there resources this would also allow there location to become know as well as the customs and traditions. Region impacts everything because it determines what you can sell, where you can live, how often you can have a natural disaster happen and many more things. Place impacts everything because it determines how your country will run so that means that the regions, movement, and HEI will change thanks to the government. ]]> 2018-05-04 13:40:57 UTC https://padlet.com/lucasbrenner_stu/ipfy97n1bvtp/wish/258027311
