Chase Sandler, Overpopulation

Hi all. My name is Chase Sandler and I am a senior in the Information Sciences and Technologies program here at Penn State. Currently, I live in the Centre Court apartment building. As a kid, I grew up in Long Island, New York, in a town called Plainview. I have had some internship experience as a Systems Analyst at two different software companies. I would like to work my way up to a Project Manager level position after some experience as a analyst. In this course, I hope to learn some new things that I did not have prior knowledge of. I do not have too much knowledge of the topics in this course, so I am excited to find out what it is all about. As a side note, I am in the Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity, I love to watch football, my favorite team is the Dallas Cowboys, and my dog is 16 years old.

Based off of this lesson, scale is a major factor within the field of geography. Scale determines how big or small something is. This factor can decide whether certain events are catastrophic, minor, or something in between. One example of an issue that relates to scale is overpopulation. Overpopulation is an issue that has plagued our world for decades. Each year the world population exceeds that of the previous year. This can have an effect on food/water scarcities, disease, economies, and just plain old space to live. The scale of this issue is becoming larger each day.
