Our Global Community

Billions of people live in

many different countries

around the world. Each

country is made up

of communities . A

community is a group

of people that live, work,

and play in the same area.

Together, we all belong to

one big community the

global community.

We all live on

planet Earth.

Different and alike

Everyone in our global community is

connected. To nd out how, we must

learn how people live around the world.

This will help us understand how we

are the same, what things make us

different, and the ways that we depend

on each other.

Most people in the world

live in a home. Homes

come in different shapes

and sizes. In this book,

you will learn about

the many homes in our

global community. Take a

look at some of them on

the map below.

A Basic Need

Homes around the world all have the same purpose. They

provide a basic need . A basic need is something all people

must have to survive. Homes provide shelter to keep people

dry and safe. They also are a place to eat, sleep, and spend

time with family and friends.

In a traditional Japanese house,

people sit on mats on the floor

to eat dinner together.

People that live in places with cold, snowy

climates, build homes with slanted roofs.

This helps the snow slide off more easily.

Meeting our needs

The ways people meet their basic need for shelter depends

a lot on where they live. The climate, or usual weather, in an

area can affect the style or shape of a home. People that live

in places with hot climates often build homes that have many

windows. The windows help air ow through the home easily.

This helps keep them cool.
