The concept of
traditional societies
A society characterized by an orientation
to the past, not the future
Culture is largely shaped by geography, by the
topographical features of the landscape, the climate,
and the natural resources.
Pattern of trade and commerce can
be including farm outputs.
 Cultural geography
Geography plays a significant role in
shaping the social, economic, and
cultural aspects of a society, but
other factors such as history, culture,
technology, and human agency also
contribute to the development of
traditional societies.
However, while geography provides a
foundation for traditional societies,
other factors come into play.
Geography influences traditional societies in
several ways.
Firstly, the physical environment, including
factors such as climate, topography, and
available natural resources, affects the
economic activities and subsistence patterns
of a society.
Isolated regions, such as islands or
mountainous terrains, can lead to the
development of unique cultural practices and
traditions due to limited interactions with
other societies.
