So, what is geography? In our first episode of Crash Course Geography, we will endeavor to answer this seemingly simple question with the help of a similarly simple factoid: that the US imports more than 3 billion pounds of bananas from Guatemala each year. But as it turns out, beneath the kinds of factoids we usually associate with Geography are much grander stories that really are Geography. So let's go a little bananas as we explore the sordid history of the Chiquita banana.

You can tell she really likes what she's talking about! Infectious enthusiasm, I'm hooked :)

I'm glad this one is back, and this first video was great.

@Hugo-G 3 года назад

As someone who grew up in the US, but is originally from Guatemala I thoroughly appreciated this video. I can't wait to continue to watch this series.

@TommyDinh 3 года назад

My favourite crash courses end up being the ones on subjects in school that I hated learning like history. Looks like geography is going to be a new favourite as it's focused less on "knowing" facts and more on understanding why the facts came to be.

At this point can I just get a high school deploma from binging all of the crash course videos

@saajiddaya2152 3 года назад

True

@farikkun1841 Год назад

so geography is history but replace the time with place

@lincolnpepper816 3 года назад

what's with the chom chom in the title? and what is this "banana" she speaks of in the video?

@kimtaylor1070 3 года назад

I'm currently in my last year as an undergrad getting a BS in Geography! I'm excited for this series and to share with others! Thank you crash course!

@pleaseforgetmenot1 3 года назад

AHHH! So happy for this series! Currently starting my MSc in Geography and so happy more people will learn of the vastness of this field!

@kayrojojo 3 года назад

So here for this series! The world needs this right now, the more we know about other places and people the less divided we all are

@staciebrown8622 3 года назад

I am so glad that you are putting together a Geography Crash Course series. I have taught Geography and I would have loved to use your videos. I will be watching them because once a geography teacher, always a geography teacher.

@drdrake17 3 года назад

This is really good! She's interesting and charismatic, and the writing is solid. I'm looking forward to the series.

@mathematicalmatt 3 года назад

I just have to say that John and Co have really upheld their promise of rigor and balance. As someone who saw the first attempt at CC Human Geography and how divisive it was, this is a brilliant new approach. Well worth the 4 year wait.

@napoleonibonaparte7198 3 года назад

Everybody asking, what is Geography? But nobody’s asking, how is Geography?

@icarusrising117 3 года назад

I love your videos! We actually watched a bunch of your psychology ones in class. Could you do a video about why people get tired when angry or stressed and the effect on our body that emotions have?

@mctrafik 3 года назад

Incredible delivery. Thank you for taking so fast. Keeps me from getting bored. Keep them coming!

@matthewc9624 3 года назад

@cgdestan 3 года назад

The best series of the CC so far!

@burrito-town 3 года назад

This series sounds fantastic! I’m excited for more!

@shaha9 3 года назад

I took a geography class several times in college and high school (About 2 times for fun, 2 required). I passed each time. Each time they taught me something new. And each time they were just about the basics. And each time they were immersive and massive filled with such a strong world view. I wish we loved Geography more. The people that know less tend to be the most self-repressed.

@hyniffcollins3110 3 года назад

Her debut was amazing. I’ll be sure to be here next week✊🏾

@shamsalfarabi6107 3 года назад

I rarely get to hear about Bangladesh in western textbooks. When I do, it's always in Geography class.

@Anonymous_Anon882 Год назад

My interest in history of any kind only really goes so far (within certain limits) but my Geography teacher (who was also my history teacher) gave me so much courage (which I feel quite acutely even to this day) that this subject will always be a soft spot for me.

@killercaos123 3 года назад

This was a brilliant episode. I can’t wait for more of this

@michellegirsang9266 3 года назад

YESSS THANKYOU CRASH COURSE FOR GIVING THIS EPISODE. REALLY MADE MY DAY❤❤❤

@danielpickton-allen8385 3 года назад

This is great, I’m a history student but I’m interested to watch this crash course to help with when geography can be useful in my work. Best non-John Green Crash course I’ve seen.

@shagituz 3 года назад

Much better than the first world geography. Really admired Johns ownership of the last ones flaws. Crash course is the best

@jks5750 3 года назад

YES AS A GEOGRAPHY GRADUATE STUDENT I LOVE THAT THIS EXISTS

@jks5750 3 года назад

I love how bananas are always an example of geography videos. We talked about this constantly in my undergrad classes at Rowan University. Somehow we all were independently drawn to learn about the geographical ties bananas have, and in all of my classes, you could always tell which students were geography buffs by bringing up this topic. I'm so happy it was covered. Also, fuck banana companies.

@RikisVlogs 3 года назад

I am Guatemalan and I know that geography very well. Thanks for covering this!

So chuffed about this one, people really dislike geography for no reason and this is great, she sounds so passionate and the animation is also ace.

Another interesting factoid is : Factoid means "an assumption or speculation that is reported and repeated so often that it becomes accepted as fact"

@daniil_gurov 3 года назад

Woooow! In my 29 I did not know geography is SO awesome. Now I love it... Thank you Alizé

@jessicamays2587 9 месяцев назад

as a student this was really fun and interesting and made me love Geography 😁

@infinitedonuts 3 года назад

I like and know quite a bit of geography, but only because I love and know a ton about history. This love of history got me to my state geography bee finals, but I didn't win because geography learned because of history can only get you so far. Anyways, geography series, I'm pumped!

@Thorite_Gem 3 года назад

So excited for this one!

@maheshgavaskar8093 3 года назад

Geography can be one of the most fascinating subjects- easily comprehensible and equally relevant...

@underweasel 3 года назад

I clicked on it thinking it was a GeographyNow video. Then I heard John's voice in the intro and I immediately knew this is going to only get better.

@feitocomfruta 3 года назад

Like how the scientific fact “Cacao can have flavor notes varying from fruits and wine, to coffee and grass” can be used to explain trade and import patterns for Nestle vs Hershey.

@CSHallo 3 года назад

My favorite thing of a new Crash Course series is all the new factoids to pause and read in the introduction.

@cactustactics 3 года назад

I was worried this was going to tiptoe around the political history of the region (especially US involvement) but nope - straight out with it, logos and all! Series looks super good and thanks for putting it out there!

@rparl 3 года назад

I took Cultural Historical Geography in Jr. college and it was Great.

@BikeThrottleOfficial 3 года назад

Just a heads up - your definition of factoid is incorrect. I only learned recently it means; an item of unreliable information that is reported and repeated so often that it becomes accepted as fact. "he addresses the facts and factoids which have buttressed the film's legend"
