The geographic themes of place and interaction of humans with the environment determines your destiny. I believe this because in the three articles that I read and did research with, shows that where you live most likely will affect you.
I believe that the geographic theme of place determines your destiny because place refers to what the characteristics of the area around you, as in the characteristics of the land and others. What the articles said in a basic wrap up was that the place that these people lived in, being West Africa. The human characteristics of Western Africa is that the people have built small hospitals, and many people use what is there for themselves. The article states that if you live or are visiting Western Africa, you are most likely being exposed to Ebola, whether you realize it or not.

Another geographic theme of geography that affects a person’s destiny is the interaction of humans with the environment. An article states that what humans have done to the land of Africa, built houses, built hospitals and others, have affected the land. If you live around the areas that Ebola is at, you are more likely to get Ebola because the disease is spreading around you, and there is no treatment for it. This is why I believe that interaction with the humans and the environment determines your destiny.
I completely agree with you because the environment will definitely affects how the virus spreads. I think the reason why Ebola is spreading so fast is because the lack of technology, health service, knowledge and money. The environment affect the speed of how Ebola spreads because Ebola spreads from person to person, although it's not as contagious as flu or cold viruses, Ebola can spread easily by infected water or by animals. The US has a extremely germaphobic so it don't think Ebola won't affect the US as much as Africa.
