Look at how geography affects our current political situation: economy largely petroleum dependent, petroleum is finite resource found in large quantities in only a few places worldwide, people fight for control of oil-bearing land, people do bad things in the name of control; this leads to war, death, torture, etc. Historically it had even more to do with social studies. Back when transportation wasn't so easy, having the right location meant EVERYTHING to local and national economies. Our societies took shape around the geography of the local land! And besides, you wouldn't want to be like that dumb guy who didn't know where China was in that UPS commercial if a student asked you a question about where a particular country was located.
