Abstract	The lack of geographic knowledge and cultural dynamics should not surprise educators. Geography is no longer required as a separate discipline in many school districts and indeed often is dropped from the curriculum after elementary school where it is studied on a limited scale--usually in the third and fourth grades. Few students have the ability to retain the knowledge acquired in these initial years of schooling if the basic concepts are not reviewed or studied beyond that stage. This article examines the inclusion of world geography and culture in a number of classes in different disciplines that would begin to impact the global literacy of the nation. (ERIC).
