HDI Map Analysis 2020 - 2021

Mr. Stepek

Directions: Use the "HDI Mapping Analysis Completed Map with Brandt's Line" posted on my website and the textbook pages referenced below to answer the following questions. Your answers should be in COMPLETE ANSWER form. Each written answer should 1) incorporate the question prompt into the answer, 2) use only full sentences, 3) answer to the question to required prompt level (see "How to write FRQs responses") 4) identify all nouns before relying on pronouns within your answer, 5) whenever possible, use APHG vocabulary and content within your answers. (please ignore Greenland, for the purposes of this assignment, and recognize that Australia and New Zealand are considered "above" or "north" Brandt's line). Please reduce your font size to fit your entire answer inside the text book provided.

1. DESCRIBE an economic factor used to calculate HDI?

2. EXPLAIN how the factor you described above can be affected by a lower GII?

3. COMPARE the development level above Brandt's line with that below Brandt's line.

4. IDENTIFY two countries located in the East Asia region but originally below Brandt's Line who have achieved a "very high human development".

5. IDENTIFY what group these countries are considered a part of (Rubenstein Ch 9 page 296.)

6. EXPLAIN how the countries (identified under #4) began their drive towards higher development (Rubenstein Ch 9 p 296.)

7. EXPLAIN how these same countries shifted their focus to achieve a "very highly development" level (de Blij Ch 12 p 421.) (Please keep in mind that the answers for 6 and 7 would need to be combined in order to fully explain the path these originally "LDC" countries took to become amongst the most developed countries in world today.)

8. IDENTIFY the sub-region within Southwest Asia (the Middle East) which enjoys a higher level of human development (Rubenstein Ch 9 p 296.)

9. IDENTIFY five countries in this subregion that enjoy higher levels of human development (see Rubenstein Ch 9 p 296.) 10. EXPLAIN the strategy taken by these countries to achieve higher level of development (see Rubenstein Ch 9 p 296.)

11. Referring to the map, COMPARE the level of development between Western and Eastern Europe.

12. Using Russia as guiding example, EXPLAIN the difference in development between Western and Eastern Europe (see Rubenstein Ch 9 p 283.)
