The great Dr. john Snows was investigating the cholera epidemic in London in 1854. He noted that the flow of patient has come from particular geographic area. Then he could find out that the particular area was supplied by one single pipe line. Then he concluded that the water got contaminated there through that pipe line. It was the land mark discovery that lead to the control of water borne communicable diseases. Now that proves the role of geographers in control of the diseases. By the way human being is the social animal. The role of every individual is very important. The most useless person can prove to be great nuisance to the society. So it is better to know that every person in the society is your relative. Every individual should be given due respect and importance. You can not be happy and safe unless every body is happy and safe. This is true for every individual inhabitant of this earth.
