This video integrates cultural geography with demographic change over time- based in projected population growth.  It is important for students to understand how the various topics in Human Geography overlap to paint the larger picture of how we affect, and are affected by each other across space.  I also like that the video defines future projections as predictions based on current trends, assuming they remain over time.

How Colonel Sanders Became Father Christmas in Japan

From talkingpointsmemo.com - December 24, 2014 8:19 AM
Of all the odd mutations of American culture to be exported abroad, Japan’s KFC Christmas tradition may be one of the oddest.

On Christmas eve, Kentucky Fried Chicken’s lines will snake down the block, and those unlucky enough not to pre-order their special chicken buckets a month in advance may have to go without KFC’s signature blend of 11 herbs and spices.

This is an interesting collection that touches on a lot of relevant themes. It should raise a lot of questions for you. The most important thing to keep in mind is what's the state of the world according to these images, and how do the people and places represented compare and contrast?
