                   Geographers study why the customary ideas, beliefs, and values of a people produce a distinct culture in a particular place

                    Especially important cultural values derive from a group's language, religion and ethnicity
       culture:  What people take care of
                      The second element of culture of interest is production of material wealth, such as food, clothing, and shelter that humans need in order to survive and thrive
