Why the UN sustainable development goals are important.

Question responses

I think that it is important to know about the standards of living because it helps determine/classify countries by the standards of living. GDP per capita, countries can be ranked by who has the most amount of money to who doesn’t even have a high standard. Population below the poverty line can define countries as to how much of their population is living in poverty. Life expectancy can show how many years the people in the country can most likely live up to. Infant mortality rate can show how much/good of a health standard they have. Doctors per 1000 people can show how many doctors there are among the population/people. Literacy rate can rank the amount of people in the country over age 15 already know how to read and write. And HDI can rank people from who can do better Human Developed index

Economic concepts  and Standard of living  can be analyzed using the 5 themes of geography because for example on of the 5 themes of geography is movement and on of the economic concepts is infrastructure and infrastructure is how easily people can get from one place to another and place is what it is like in an area. Economic systems and many of the standards of living can be analyzed using Place because Place is what it is like in an area and all the standards of livings have to do with what it is like in that place/country.

5 Themes of geography-Reflect-Social Studies

The five themes of geography helps people better understand connections between people and the earth because each of them is related to something that has to do with humans and learning about the five themes, such as human and environment interaction, a way that humans interact with the earth by wearing clothes to suit the climate.

I thought that region was the hardest theme to understand because I didn’t really understand on what to do and also I had trouble understanding what the questions meant and how to do it.

Social Studies-Map Skills

I found that Oceans and Continents  for basic maps skills was easy because I understood it right when I opened up the tab. To me it was easy because I learned most of the oceans and continents in 2nd grade and what we were learning was just a refresh. What I struggled most with in the basic map skills was the coordinates. I found it way more difficult because I have never used coordinates on maps before, only in math from last year, and in math last year I was really bad at coordinate anyways. So it was very tricky for me. What made it more difficult for me was that I have never used it before and I would likely never use it ever again and it also I was very bad at multiplying and adding.

Basic map skills are necessary because they can help us understand the world, locations, and how to use a map better. They can help me understand geography more because I have never really learned any of these ways except Oceans and Continents.
