Origin and Founder
Donald W. Meinig was the creator of the Core-Domain Sphere Model. He is an American geographer born on November 1, 1924 in Palouse, Washington. Retiring in 2004, he was the Research Professor Emeritus of Geography at Syracuse University. Meinig researched all sorts of geography including historical, regional, cultural, social, and human. Besides the creation of the Core-Domain Sphere Model, he is otherwise notable for publishing his four volumes of The Shaping of America: A Geographical Perspective on 500 Years of History.
This model still allows for the roots of the culture to be found in the "core" while still maintaining modernized. This is useful if one would like easy access to the origin of a certain custom or tradition (all aspects of culture).
With strenghts, comes weaknesses, as can be seen in this model. Often times an element of the "core" isn't necessarily the the strongest area. For example although Buddhism originated in northern India, it is most prevelant today in China, Tibet, Nepal, and other parts of south-east Asia.
In the Core-Domain Sphere Model there are some things to consider. Transitions between the three parts (core, domain, sphere), can often be abrupt or gradual and may cause dificulty in distinguishing the differences between parts of the model.
For this example, we will apply the model to the Mormon religion.
CORE: The original Mormons were led to the Utah Territory (Great Basin to Colorado River) by Bringham Young in 1847. The Core of the Mormon religion is mainly Salt Lake City, Utah
DOMAIN: The domain is other parts of Utah and surrounding regions such as California and Idaho
SPHERE: The sphere stretches all the way to Chile, Uruguay, and South Pacific regions such as American Samoa and Tonga.
