Liz's idea how a Geographer should think:

Geographers should always think in terms of the relationship between human beings and the environment as well as other spatial relationships. The primary questions geographers ask themselves is 'where?' and 'why?' A geographer needs to be more observant than other people and must think in an applied why, for example, he/she must constantly ask what can be done about a specific spatial problem. A geographer's thoughts should include a sense of wonder and awe of Creation.
