You can get to Central Asia(!) via Russia fast, and you can get to Persia easily too. In fact, the sea actually makes Asia more accessible.

SBS is in the EBU, which is the only criterion for entry. In any case, Europe only exists as a cultural distinction from Asia, which is also more or less true of us in Australia. We’re a southeast Asian island that’s culturally separate from the rest of Southeast Asia so we are basically European.

First one relies on culture, second one - on the teсtonic plates, so continents are Africa, Australia (and Oceania), Antarctica, Europe, Asia and America. Mainlands are again Africa, Australia (and Oceania), Antarctica, but also Eurasia, South America and North America.

At school I wasn't really taught the continents as a clear-cut geographic term, just as a handy way to divide the world into slightly more manageable sections. Hence I was taught Oceania as a continent, because it's just a useful term for that whole part of the world. So what counts as a continent really just depends on what's convenient for you in conversation, which is obviously going to vary around the world.

In classification, these regions are genetically, linguistically and culturally distinct enough that classifying them into South or East Asia seems very wonky. There’s also the fact that today there are 400 millions Austronesian living in the region, classifying them as a mix of South and East Asia is generalising 400 millions people.

It makes sense to me to treat land strips that are “narrow enough” (isthmuses) as continent boundaries. I try to be critical towards what was taught to me in school but still the definition used in Japanese textbooks feels natural. It’s also fine to follow the “continuous landmass” definition more literally. At least geographically speaking. If you incorporate cultural aspects, that one region called Asia is internally too varied I feel like. Are Japan and Saudi Arabia that similar culturally? Cultural boundaries are certainly vague so whatever definition is fine as long as it is appropriate for what is discussed at given time, but as a default general‐purpose definition, “Europe and the others” kind of separation looks a bit ... Eurocentric ... maybe? Edit: According to Japanese Wikipedia, geographical continents (大陸; normally there are 6 of them) and cultural continents (大州; the number varies by definition) are different concepts in Japanese and called differently. When I heard “continents” I just thought of the former but here we are talking about both.

"Cultural" definition is really just old Roman Bullshit 2.0: Electric boogaloo. Version 1.0 The Greeks already started dividing their known world into 3, Europe (more or less everything in the mainland mass west of themselves), Asia (everything to the east), and Lybia (basically africa/everything south of the Mediterranean sea that wasn't Asia). Romans more or less copy this, which kinda also influences the later split into West and East Roman empires. Then the Empire decentralizes and mutates into a weird religious thing some people call a collapse (weird collapse where the culture, religion, language and other bullshit of the "conquered" people dominates the "winners", but this is a derailment for another time), but the bullshit notion endures. Then West Rome descendants & friends i.e. the Euros discovered what other people had already discovered millennia ago, the "new" world, and named it after one of her own whose name was already a Latin related name, the Americas (one, two or three, who cares). Then they went searching for the theorized southern continent, found what became better known today as Australia, and lumped all the islands they didn't know about and weren't too close to Asia, basically Oceania = the rest. Then they found the actual Terra Australis, but they already imposed that name on another landmass, so they figured "well, there is the arctic, this sits in the opposite side so... it is the ant(i)arctic, so the continent must be Antarctica, to keep on with the Latinate theme." TL;DR - "Culture" here is really European/ancient Greco-Roman biased self centred horseshit people still somehow get bamboozled by.
@madiis18account3 жыл бұрын
@@louisvictor3473 Many people still believed a polar 'Terra Australis' existed after the 'discovery' of Australia, specifically because Australia isn't polar, and because of the crews of HMS Revolution and Adventure witnessing the coastline in the 1770s. It wasn't until the early 19th century that the argument was made to name then New Holland 'Australia', with the argument being that even if a polar land mass existed, it surely wouldn't be bigger than Australia (oops). So, despite being wrong, Australia took the name. Geographers and cartographers who still (correctly) believed a large polar continent existed no longer had a name they could use for it. Thus, they used "the Antarctic continent" as a placeholder while a new name was considered. Ultimately, over the many decades of debate for the new name (appox 80 years) no agreement or consensus ever formed and "the antarctic" had become so ingrained in common usage that when John Bartholomew coined 'Antarctica' people were like, "yeah, that'll do". Interestingly, the word 'Arctic' comes from the Greek for 'bear' and refers to the Ursa constellations you can see there, so you can say not only does Antarctic mean 'opposite Arctic', it also means 'opposite bears' and *coincidentally* of the two polar regions, the Arctic has polar bears and the Antarctic doesn't. So, it really came full circle and ends up being a pretty good set of names, imo.

This it's because of Greeks and Persians, Romans, Troy and European power. You'll see, Greeks and Romans always differentiate themselves from minor Asia. To them, they were the manly society and anything to the east was weakly Asia. They don't even know for certain the difference between all the Asian cultures and they only acknowledged that they were not Asians for sure. That's the idea that created the European mindset. Then the Latin Europeans discovered America (named after an Latin European explorer in behalf of an Latin European country) that's why we do not consider America to be separated continents.

In México the 5 (got teached as 5 but i think they say are 6 now) are América, África, Europa, Asia and Oceanía. The sixth one is Antártica, but i don't know if it's teached as such or not. Also, North and South America are considered as subdivisions rather than different continents, the same way you don't call SEA its own continent

Using the term Eurasia in Russia is also culturally useful because there is a certain cross over in Russia. I am originally from Novosibirsk, a city nearer to Mongolia and China than to Moscow. But there are cities further east including Vladivostok which is actually further east than China. Yet these cities are European in culture, demographics and language. So Eurasia makes it easier.

Another, more classic, approach is to combine the idea that the count should be the magical number like 3, 7 or 13, with the ancient Greek conntinents: Europe, Asia and Africa. As this is already 3 and doesn't include continents around Roanoke, Sydney and the South Pole, the next option is 7 continents. So the original 3 plus Antarctica, Australia, the Pacific plate, South, Central and North America, so need to merge some to get back to 7. Traditional solutions include considering Antarctica and Australia a single "South Continent" named Australia, merging the 3 Americas to only 2 or 1, and merging the Pacific islands into nearby dry continents. But doing all those options would leave only 5, so that's eliminating too many.

I like the idea of just considering America one thing (purely geographic) or, for practical terms like the separation of Asia and Europe, in three. North and South America make little cultural sense, having a middle man in Central America/Caribbean sorts that out and helps the already uses “North America” as a synonym for Anglo America.

I first glance thought it was a sample of a time zone, but immediately saw that Africa wasn't right. Interesting. So far the east-west division sounds most likely, but then again it's from the european point of view, the maps in for example Far East and US place their own regions in the middle of a world map, making this line of east-west kind weird. Plus there's Australia, which is more in the east than Far East, but nobody thinks of it as an eastern country. Hmm, granted, our views of the world seem to be very local...
