Citizenship through Secondary Geography

Abstract

The essays in the first part of the book examine citizenship education in a variety of contexts. Ecological citizenship and global citizenship essays complete the series and challenge the teacher to incorporate new methods for students to understand that, internationally, economic gaps are widening, privacy is being lost to information technology, and access to information will create further inequalities in a world which cannot sustain indefinitely the lifestyles of some human communities. Ultimately, geography education continues to offer the best setting for citizenship education because it encompasses human and physical systems within a spatial context.
