• Want of imagination makes things unreal enough to
  be destroyed. By imagination I mean knowledge and
  love. I mean compassion. People of power kill
  children, the old send the young to die, because
  they have no imagination.
•  
• - Wendell Berry. Author, farmer, conservationist

Australian Curriculum Geography

• Geography integrates knowledge from the natural
  sciences, social sciences and humanities to build
  a holistic understanding of the world. Students
  learn to question why the world is the way it is,
  reflect on their relationships with and
  responsibilities for that world, and propose
  actions designed to shape a socially just and
  sustainable future.
