AP Human Geography
Unit 3 – Cultural Geography
Topic 3.3
What relates the diffusion pattern seen with the spread of Islam across North Africa (7th Century) and English language in India during British rule (19th-20th Century)?
They represent examples of voluntary diffusion based on economic benefit.
Each exemplifies stimulus diffusion, where a base idea is altered upon uptake by new societies.
Neither case shows any form of cultural diffusion or adaptation at work.
Both are instances of cultural adaptation through forced diffusion due to conquests or colonial rule.
