Probably, the next question you might be asking to yourself is why nGo?  Simply and straightforward, the new Geographical order is the way I call the new breed geographers, representing the future of the discipline.  People with new visions, seeking new challenges, exploring new topics, exploiting the state of arts theoretical and technological tools as well as critical thinking, and looking for unity within the field.  We make Geography available to all social classes, groups, disciplines, and cultures.  We want back the respect Geography deserves.  That respect the discipline had in the past.  The respect deserved by a field that is unique.  The nGo was inspired by the term "new world order" first used surrounding United States President Woodrow Wilson's speech after the World War I.  In that speech, Wilson called for a crusade to end wars and re-establish the peace between nations.  Later on, an international organization named the League of Nations was created for preventing wars through disarmament, seeking security, improving global welfare, etc.  Another use of the term "new world order" happened in the 90s by a heel stable of famous wrestlers at the World Championship Wrestling (WCW) company.  The original group members were Hollywood Hulk Hogan and "The Outsiders" Scott Hall (formerly known as Razor Ramon in the WWE) and Kevin Nash (formerly known as Big Daddy Cool Diesel in the WWE).
