Answer to Question 1

Answer: Grouping together people who have similar cultural traits makes studying human populations more manageable. However, differentiating these cultural and ethnic groups has also led to stereotyping, segregation and prejudice.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: First, cultures change over time and, thus, so do culture regions. Second, culture regions are not isolated. Global diffusion patterns and economic connections link together places that once had very different cultures. Third, the larger a culture region one considers, the fewer culture traits will actually apply. Finally, culture regions are defined by traits that are similar in culturally meaningful ways.
