UNIT 1

 

People and Places

 

  Introduction

People shape and are shaped by the places where they live.

The unit allows learners to appreciate the diversity of Southeast Asian landscapes through the history of how people shape and are shaped by the places where they live.

People and Places examines the interaction between the peoples of Southeast Asia and their various environments across time and space.

Highland, lowland, and coastal communities lived in distinct environments, which produced shared experiences despite differences in nationality, borders language, religion, and ethnicity.

Southeast Asian populations have customized elements of global worldviews (other Asian and Western civilizations, religious-philosophical cultures) to fit their local needs and priorities, hereby producing a pattern of shared experiences across the mainland and island worlds.
