One of
the basic uses of your world globe is to find places – cities, nations,
land and water areas – just as easily as you can find the busiest
street corner in your home town. Finding a place is not enough,
however, unless you see it in its true geographical relationship to the
rest of the world or, in other words, see those countries which are its
neighbors and the true distances and directions between them.
The
question “Where is it?” is answered best by using a globe, for only on
a globe are distances, directions, sizes and shapes of countries, and
their relationship to each other – all correct! Seeing the true
geographical relationships of all nations on this round replica of our
world increases our understanding of their economic, social and
political status, as well as their interdependence. It has been said
that wider use of the world globe among all peoples of Earth could be a
powerful instrument for peace.
Although the sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west, it is Earth that is moving, constantly rotating from west to east. It is this continuous turning toward the sun and away from it that causes day and night.
When was the last time you held a globe? Do you remember?
Did you become a
mountain man from the 1800s and explore the West? Did you travel to
Australia and learn about the Aborigines? Did you put yourself in the
Amazon as a member of the Matis Indians?
Whom did you become when you held a globe?
