The geographical themes Interaction and Movement prove that geography is not destiny in West Africa because we can control how we adapt to the environment this is known as interaction. People can move ideas and things and in these modern times physical obstacles hardly affect how we learn and what we do.
Interaction:
Interaction which is how we adapt and change our environment. This can be controlled for the benefit. For example you can build a house anywhere, if geography was destiny then we would be stuck where ever we were born and have to live with it. In the article “International Response needed for Ebola Outbreak” It says that the international community is assisting with the outbreak by providing money and supplies plus mobile hospitals. This proves that if geography was destiny then someone from Europe could not help someone from West Africa because they would be stuck with their own problems. The world is too advanced for geography to truly be destiny if we were talking about 10,000 B.C. then geography would definitely be destiny but we are talking about the most modern time ever and we are only getting more advanced.

Movement:
Movement is the movement of things, people, and ideas. For example the idea that the Earth was round, not flat went from Columbus to Spain, the Spanish people started telling British people and French people and so on. Movement can also be the movement of people such as migration. In the article “Ebola is a National Security Priority” it says that the disease is moving and that we have to protect our borders because you never know when someone infected comes on a plane to the U.S. and that could be a serious problem. This proves that geography is not destiny because if it was then Ebola would not be a fear. People living in West Africa would be stuck with the virus but because people can move around it can spread to the U.S. or Europe and Asia.
