Essay 1 – Question #
1 Geographers have not examined citizenship as an object of inquiry but as a tool in critiquing the inequalities of modern society. How has this approach influenced research? Are there problems with this focus?
Conducting research based on this approach fails to unearth the in key concepts upon which citizenship is formed and developed. Adopting this strategy does not provide a conducive environment for the research to address the role of citizenship in inequalities in modern society. Studying citizenship under the social, economic, and civic issues provides inconclusive research about the key atrocities ailing society locally and beyond borders. It alters the objectivity of the research as now insights are drawn upon the subjective nature of inequalities within different geographical territories. Exploring citizenship through a single lens has impacted the ways geographers perceive real-world issues locally and in foreign territories. Lack of a multifaceted approach to address the country's socioeconomic issues proceeds biasness and inaccuracy. Although countries are drawn upon geographical subdivisions, these boundaries foster distribution and information, and federal resources to foster the public good (Jone, et al., 2015, p. 63). Therefore Geographers play a crucial role in implementing policy and decision-making in various contexts. They publish research findings and contribute to society's general understanding of issues ailing society. This research is critical and plays an integral part in transforming public will into policy. Therefore it is of paramount importance to use the central tenets of geography to analyze the inequalities of modern society. Citizenship is a complex and ongoing phenomenon mutually exclusive between the state and an individual. Therefore lack of in-depth inquiry of its operation, subjugation, control, and powers leading to social inequality forms the basis for inaccurate research.
Through this approach geographers lack insight on how they can contributes solutions to solve the geopolitical issues across the world. Most of the research will be biased and does not draw the overall picture of the inequalities ailing the society. Another crucial aspect is that their veiled perspective of citizenship will provide limited literature that plays a crucial role in shaping the perspectives of the general public. Lack of significant insights into some of the major social dilemmas forms the basis for the emergence of geopolitics surrounding the denial of full refugee status, deportation, etc. In this light, Geographers fail to explore the alternative option political processes in differing geographical areas. This veiled perspective of citizenship contributes to shallow geographic thinking and approaches that inhibit scientific understanding, which causes selective understanding of spatial representation. Today's contemporary human rights bodies, such as the WHO, advocate for equality among all citizens despite their race, creed, race, or ethnicity to eradicate social inequalities such as deportation based on citizenship. As inequalities persist, researchers will be subjected to providing shallow and inaccurate information about the issues ailing ...
