Part B: Use the information from the videos/mind map and follow TEER to write a paragraph on:

What are human rights and why are they important?

What is TEER? ‘TEER’ helps us write paragraphs. It helps because it gives us a structure to our paragraphs so they make more sense and provide details and examples.

Topic Sentence	The first sentence of the paragraph. This sentence answers the question and outlines what the paragraph will be about. Define what human rights are and why they are important.
Explanation	This is 1-2 sentences which provide more detail about the ‘T’ and helps you expand your ideas. Expand on why they are important.
Example	Provide 1-2 examples to show an understanding of what you have explained above. Use 1-2 examples of specific human rights to emphasise the importance of human rights.
Reorientation	Refer back to the question to conclude your paragraph. Therefore… OR Consequently…

TEER PARAGRAPH:

What are human rights and why are they important?

Human rights are very important as they outline the rights and freedoms that all human beings across the world are entitled to. Human rights are important as they allow all humans to live life to the fullest potential with equity in all areas of life (food, education, water, shelter) ________

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Therefore, human rights are especially important and should be maintained and enforced regardless of where you are born or live.

WHAT IS WELLBEING?

Human wellbeing is a state of health, happiness and satisfaction which a person feels when their needs are fulfilled. It can also be referred to as the quality of life experienced by people individually and collectively. It can be measured using statistics such as life expectancy, educational attainment (how much education they achieve e.g. school, TAFE, university) and income (how much money they make). Wellbeing varies according to changing circumstances and environment.

Needs are what is required for human survival and are essential for physical and mental health. The basic needs a person has in life include:

· Social needs

· Physical needs

· Emotional needs

· Economic needs

· Cultural needs

· Spiritual needs

How do we measure a good life?

We use the above indicators of wellbeing (SPEECS) to help us. Indicators are important and useful tools for monitoring and evaluating progress or lack of it.

A quantitative indicator is easily measured and can be stated numerically, such as annual income or how many doctors there are in a country.

A qualitative indicator can be defined as people's judgements and perceptions about a subject, which measures a particular aspect of quality of life. It can also describe living conditions or features that are not easily measured. Examples of qualitative indicators are freedom or security.

Activity: Classify the following as either quantitative or qualitative indicators:

~~Number of motor vehicles~~, ~~proportion (amount) of seats held by women in national parliaments,~~ unemployment rates, electric power use/consumption, obesity rate, ~~quality of teaching at your school~~, freedom of speech, how safe you feel walking at night, how much you trust your neighbours, access to public transport.

WHAT IS DEVELOPMENT?

Definitions:

(verb) develop – to grow as a person; to promote the growth of something

(noun) development – the process of growing

Development helps poor people improve their lives by making sure they have the basic needs they require to live, including food, housing, jobs, health services, education, safety and security. It’s also giving poor people in developing countries a choice of how to live their lives and contribute to society.

When people are healthy and able to be productive, a country is better able to trade with other countries to get more of the goods and services its people need.

People are always trying to improve the quality of their lives, therefore development is ongoing. Development involves many different groups:

Ø Poor people work hard to provide for themselves and their families.

Ø Developing countries work to improve local conditions by building their economies and improving public services.

Ø Most rich countries can help poor countries by trading with them. They can also offer financial aid and advice on how to grow their economies.

Ø International institutions, like the World Bank, offer advice and money to help poor countries build roads, schools and hospitals.

Ø Charitable groups also work with poor people by helping deprived communities educate their children, open health clinics and provide other resources.

Task - Cloze passage: Read and understand the following passage then complete the cloze passage below:

Glossary:

(adj) acceptable – able to be agreed on, able to be allowed. E.g. “Those shoes are not acceptable uniform”; “That is an acceptable answer.”

In a world that is very rich, many people are very poor. Development is about reaching these people and helping them improve their lives.

A developed country is a country that has reached an acceptable standard of living for all people through improvements in economic (financial) and social (community) conditions.

So, for a country to be able to be called ‘developed’ it means that all (or most) people living there have the basic things they need to live (e.g. f________, w__________ and s__________). It also means that all the people have the right to make choices about their lives. It means that they have opportunities to improve their living situations.

3. Cloze passage: Complete the following cloze passage using the information above.

In conclusion, development is about how we as a world can ensure that all people have an

_______________ standard of ____________ by improving _______________ and

_________________ conditions for all people in all countries.

Task – Comprehension: Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow

Glossary:

(n) quality – how good something is e.g. “The quality of this chocolate is excellent”, “The quality of your writing needs to be improved”.

(v) produce – to make.

(v) trade – to buy and sell goods and services. Trade between countries involves importing and exporting.

(v) ensure – to make sure.

The aim of development is to help people become more productive and to improve the quality of life for individuals, families, communities and countries as a whole. As people become more productive, a country is in a better position to trade with other countries, and more trade means more goods and services to continue improving living conditions.

Development is a complex process, though. A country must concurrently (simultaneously/ at the same time) pay attention to social, economic, political, cultural and environmental issues to ensure that development is sustainable and beneficial (valuable) to all.

Reaching an acceptable standard of living for all people includes giving everyone access to the basics:

· Food

· Housing

· Jobs

· Health Services

· Education

· Safety and Security

What we think development is - One common view of development is that it can be measured economically – that increasing wealth or decreasing levels of poverty are indicators of development.

Development, however, is not just about wealth in terms of money; it means MUCH more than this.

Development means:

· Reducing levels of poverty

· Increasing levels of wealth

· Reducing the gap between the richest and poorest members of society

· Creating equal status for men and women

· Creating justice, freedom of speech and political participation from everyone

· Ensuring everyone is safe from conflict and terrorism

· Ensuring everyone can fulfil their basic needs – food, water and shelter

· Ensuring that all children have good standards of education.

Introduction

Essay scaffold

Basic needs are things that all people are entitled to. They include food, shelter, health services, education and safety and security. These basic needs help give people a better quality of life and increase their productivity. However, people’s basic needs in developing and developed countries differ and this is evident when comparing a developed nation like Australia to a developing nation like Burkina Faso.

Paragraph 1 1

Firstly, food is an essential basic need. In Australia, there is no shortage of food to feed its population of …………………………………………… people because……………………………………………………………………………………………

5. Task – Mix and match : Using a line or letters and numbers, indicate which development indicator goes with which definition:

Glossary:

(v) indicate – to point out something, to show something. E.g. “Your woolly jumper indicates that it is cold.”

MEASURING DEVELOPMENT – The Development Indicators

In order to study development, geographers must first measure how developed one country is either compared to other countries or to the same country in the past. To measure development, geographers use a number of qualitative and quantitative indicators.

MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT ALL THESE KEY TERMS MEAN:

Development Indicator		Definition
Life expectancy		A measure of how happy and content people are with their lives.
Unemployment rate		The average age to which a person lives.
Quality of life		The percentage of adults who can read and write.
Access to education		The number of babies per 1000 live births who die under the age of 1 year old.
Literacy rate		How many people attend schools and universities.
Risk of disease		Previously known as Gross National Product (GNP) - The total value of all goods and services produced in a country in one year plus income from citizens living in other countries.
Infant Mortality Rate		A country's GNI divided by its population.
Gross National Income (GNI)		Previously known as Gross Domestic Product (GDP) - The total value of all goods and services produced in a country in one year.
GNI per capita		Measured by the number of people who cannot find work.
Gross Domestic Income (GDI)		A mix of indicators that show life expectancy, adult literacy, education and GNP per capita.
People per doctor		The percentage of people with dangerous diseases such as AIDS and malaria.
Human Development Index (HDI)		The number of doctors per 10,000 people.

Development Indicators

The UNDP (UN development programme) describes development as: 'the three essentials of development include the ability to lead a long and healthy life, to acquire knowledge, and to have a decent standard of life'.

Some people also believe that the political health of a country is an important factor in its development, which includes freedom of speech and demonstration.

Development can be measured in many different ways (as shown in the diagram below).

Aspects of development that cannot be measured:

Freedom

Security

Sustainability

Conservation

Main development points:

Employment
Poverty
Health
Education
Social Cohesion
Safety and Security
Good Governance

1. The number of people who are born per 1,000 people.

Task 1: Match up the correct development indicators with the correct definitions

Life expectancy

Birth rate

Death rate

2. The wealth of a country. This is measured by total value of goods and services produced by a country and divided by its population (Gross Domestic Income).

% of adult literacy

GDI (per capita)

Infant Mortality Rate

Population growth

Population per doctor

% of children who go to school

% in agriculture

Calories consumed per person per day

% population infected by HIV/AIDS

3. Whether family trends show lots of children per family or few/none children per family.

5. The % of people who can read and write within a population.

4. The number of children who regularly attend school.

7. The number of people who die per 1,000 people.

6. The number of children who die under the age of two.

11. The % of people who work in farming and therefore primary industry.

Task 2: Now rethink each definition and write the words HIGH or LOW next to each development indicator which would show us whether a country is developing e.g. you would write HIGH next to GDI as this would be HIGH for a rich country.

8. The average age people of a given population are likely to live to.

9. The number of doctors divided by the number of people in the population.

12. The % of people who have been diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. This affects the economy, health services and family / community ties.

10. The number of calories eaten each day and divided between the population.

Development indicators can be split into 3 different categories:

•

What do you think each of these mean?

Economic Indicators

• Health Indicators

• Social indicators

Activity 1: Label the following explanations

___________________: These indicators are to do with money and the economy.

_______________________ Indicators: These are to do with the people of the country e.g. employment, education, housing all comes under this banner.

_______________________ Indicators: These indicators are to do with health and health care.

Activity 2: The diagram below identifies various indicators.

Human Development Index HDI 2020

• In 1990, the UN replaced GNP as the measurement of development with the HDI.

• It is a social welfare index measuring human literacy, life expectancy, and the ‘real’ GNP – that is what an income will actually buy in a country.

• The HDI is an attempt to compare quality of life between people and places and ,unlike GNP, it can measure differences within a country

True and False Questions.

1. Answer true or false to the following statements:

2. (If they are false, re-write them to make them true).

Statement	True or False
1. If there are high fertility rates, then population will increase.
2. If there are high mortality rates, then population will increase.
3. If there are high fertility and mortality rates, then the population will remain stable.
4. If there are high fertility rates and declining mortality rates, then the population will decrease.
5. If fertility and mortality rates are declining then the population rises, yet at a slower rate.
6. If there are low fertility and mortality rates, then the population growth rates decline.
7. If population growth rates are declining, the fastest method of increasing population growth is via natural increase (e.g. births).
8. If fertility rates decline and mortality rates are stable, then population growth rates decline.
9. China’s population growth rate is slowing
10. India’s population growth rate is rising.

Population Pyramid

Population pyramid = a pyramid-shaped graph illustrating the age distribution of a population: the youngest are represented by a rectangle at the base; the oldest by one at the top.

Population pyramids will have different shapes depending on the type of population. For example:

Ø youthful/young population

Ø lots of children being born, but people dying quite young

Ø mature/ageing population

Ø not many children being born and people living a long life.

o Look at the population pyramid of Indonesia for 2015 and fill in the gaps in the following sentences.

a. The ages are marked on the _______ axis and the population on the _______ axis.

b. Each bar is divided into _______ on the left and _______ on the right.

c. The working age group goes from _______ to _______ and the youth section goes from _________ to _______ , while the old age section goes from _______ to _______ .

o Study the population pyramid of Indonesia for 2015 and answer the following questions. Round figures off to the nearest 100 000.

a. The total number of children aged 0-4 is _________________.

b. The number of males aged 35-39 is _________________.

c. The number of females aged 65-69 is _________________.

d. Which age group has the largest number of people? _________________.

Demographic Transition Model

A demographic transition model reflects how a country's population changes over time. Demographics is the study of and writing about statistics of population. Demographic transition models show:

Ø the change in the structure of the population of a country over time

Ø

Big gap between birth rate and death rate = fast population growth

Small gap between birth rate and death rate= small population growth

No gap between birth rate and death rate= no population growth

Death rate higher than birth rate= loss of population

the change in the level of development of the country over time.

Natural Increase of population = the birth rate minus the death rate

Birth rate = the average number of births each year per 1000 people

Death rate = the average number of deaths each year per 1000 people

Fill in the following gaps:

a) Australia has a low birth rate, low death rate, low natural increase rate ad high technology. This means that it is at Stage ___________ on the model.

b) In 1900 most countries in Monsoon Asia were at Stage 1. This meant they had ________ birth rates, _______ death rates, _______ natural increase rates and ____________ technology.

c) By 2000 most counties in Monsoon Asia were at Stages 2 and 3. This meant their birth rates were either ______ or ________, their death rates were either_________ or _______, their natural increase rates were either __________ or ________ and their technologies were either ___________or ________.

d) By 2000, Japan was at Stage 4. This means it had a _______ birth rate, a ___________ death rate, and ___________ technology.

Due to global development, overall human wellbeing has improved dramatically over the years. People now live longer than ever before and there have been significant achievements in education, health care and living conditions. However, there are still large differences and inequalities between different communities. Those who have better access to resources enjoy more opportunities. As a result, there is a wide gap in wellbeing between the wealthy and the underprivileged. There are obvious spatial variations in human wellbeing between developed and developing countries and this is evident in the variation relates to the differences in natural and human features over an area of our planet.
