RELIGION can be both a unifying force.
-There are five major religions in the world
-Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam
-They have millions of followers all believing the same thing.
-Can also be a dividing force around the world.
-Hindus and Muslims fight in India (Hindu) and Pakistan (Muslim)
-There are conflicts between Catholics and Protestants (two forms of Christianity))in Northern Ireland
-Jews, Christians and Muslims all claim Jerusalem as their religions holy site. They are constantly fighting over the land.
SPATIAL DIVISIONS: are how we divide the livable space found on the earth by establishing social, economic, and political control.
-You can be a member of more than one spatial group.
-Spatial divisions can also cause conflicts or cooperation
EXAMPLES:
-Countries
-Economic alliances
