Its influence on Society depends on the level of development of material production and is not
the same under different states of the productive forces. For example, rivers and seas, in the
early stages of the development of the Society, isolated men, but with the progress of
shipbuilding and navigation, they became means of communication and means of
rapprochement. liaison between nations. In other times, many useful deposits such as coal, oil,
minerals. they had no value to the Society; instead, with modern industry and technology, they
play an enormous role in the production of material goods. The very possibility of exploiting

environment, from an integrated perspective. This look allows us to make more efficient use of
the limited resources that surround us. A geographer not only knows where natural and human
resources are, but also how and when to use them efficiently, as a science, geography makes it

humanized or artificial nature. From this perspective, the concept of natural resources
becomes a key articulator of the society-nature relationship, through the notions of uses
and functions of nature and resource management. In order to understand social reality,
you must reflect on the relationship between society and nature: through collective work;
Geographic space is the product of this social and historical appropriation of nature.
