Global 3000 is Deutsche Welle's weekly magazine that explores the intersection of global development and the environmental and social conditions of the diverse cultures of the world.

Geography explores the connection and impact that people have on places, and places have on people. In this program, Pearce Bunting and various guests explore the diverse topics that make up geography. Physical geography, the study of what the earth looks like and the impact of the environment on the way people live, is the first type of geography that is explored. Next the program discusses cultural geography, a study of people and where they live, what they eat, what they wear, and how they go about their daily lives. This episode discusses the impact of technology on geography, including such things as irrigation and air conditioning and then discusses environmental reprecussions. The remainder of the program is spent discussing maps since there will be questions on the GED test about them. It's important to become familiar with how to read a map and the different types of maps. Major terms that are discussed during the map portion of this program are: longitude and latitude, topographic maps, thematic maps, Global Positioning System, and cartography. The GED test will also include questions about other aspects of geography including environmental issues, regions, cultures, continents, and states.
