Interesting Agriculture debate!  Where's the line, when it comes to good old fashioned organic agriculture?

This is a nice little gem of information about the world's biggest annual religions pilgrimage.  Questions- How does this demonstrate characteristics of both global and regional geography?  What logistical problems exist in Mecca, and should the pilgrimage undergo changes in order to protect pilgrims? If so, what changes, and how would they effect the cultural factors and traditions related to the Hajj? 

For a complete documentary covering the Hajj journey from the perspectives of 3 very different Muslims, check out this spectacular video!

In light of the IS effort to wipe out Yazidis, this video does a good job at defining genocide, and points to several examples.  Also, includes a link to another short video about the Armenian Genocide.

How languages evolve - Alex Gendler

How languages evolve - Alex Gendler | Human Interest | Scoop.it
From ed.ted.com - September 29, 2014 4:09 AM
Over the course of human history, thousands of languages have developed from what was once a much smaller number. How did we end up with so many? And how do we keep track of them all? Alex Gendler explains how linguists group languages into language families, demonstrating how these linguistic trees give us crucial insights into the past.

A super cool synopsis of the world's most unknown influential monotheistic religion!  So many similarities to other, better known Abrahamic religions, and so much application in studying the history of the Middle East.  Also, the mention of the impact of globalization and secularism on such a small and relatively unknown religion highlights the contrast between the struggle to be like everyone else, vs the struggle to maintain local diversity.

If you've taught AP Human Geography before, this video presents nothing new, but Seeker Daily just put it up today, and it could serve as a good lead in to demographics, and is relatively current, as demographic data changes all the time.  If you haven't taught AP Human Geography before, and will be teaching it this year, well, here you go!

UN News - ‘Unprecedented’ 65 million people displaced by war and persecution in 2015 – UN

UN News - ‘Unprecedented’ 65 million people displaced by war and persecution in 2015 – UN | Human Interest | Scoop.it

The number of people displaced from their homes due to conflict and persecution last year exceeded 60 million for the first time in United Nations history, a tally greater than the population of the United Kingdom, or of Canada, Australia and New Zealand combined, says a new report released on World Refugee Day today.

We have more displaced people today than we did after World War II (well, we do have about twice as many people on earth).  This is huge news, and there seems to be no real end to the problem, only the looming uncertainty as to how the world will handle and respond to the growing numbers of those without homes.  Out of every 113 people on earth, one of them is a refugee.  The issue of how to handle migration issues today is the very heart of the difference between how liberals and conservatives feel is the best way to make the world a better place.
