Activity 4 -Earth summit

Activity 4 – The earth summit

1.    The Earth Summit was a United Nations conference which took place in Rio de Janeiro from the 3^rd of June to 14^th of June 1992.

2.    The Green Cross International Organisation.

3.    From the 3^rd of June to 14^th of June 1992.

4.    The first Earth Summit was in Rio de Janeiro.

5.    In 2012, the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development will also take place in Rio.

6.    The purpose of Earth Summit is to change the way we look at environment.

7.    The most important decisions that they made was the Framework Convention on Climate Change, Forest Management, Agenda 21 and The Convention on Biological Diversity.

8.    I think it is necessary because we need to take care of our environment and preserve our resources before it is to late.

9.    Since the Earth Summit, people have tried to help our environment and try keep to save our resources, but from what I see around me, I do not think it has been very successful yet.

10.   Sustainable development is linked with Earth Summit because we really need to keep resources without wasting them. We need to use them in a way that we can still have them on earth.

African Nationalism and Pan-Africanism

Activity 8

1.       African nationalism was a movement across Africa to fight colonialism and demand independence.

2.       Organization of African Unity (OAU) established May 25 1963, Pan Africanist Congress (PAC) established on6 April 1959, Aborigines’ Rights Protection Society (ARPS), established in 1897.

3.       Pan-African is a movement for bigger co-operation among Africans.

4.       These two differ because Pan-Africanism is for co-operation between Africans and African nationalism was the demand for independence.

5.       Kwame Nkrumah led the Gold Coast’s anti-colonial struggle for independence from the British. Robert Sobukwe established the Pan Africanist Congress to fight the apartheid.

6.       The song lyrics relate to Pan-Africanism and African Nationalism because the African man was taken into America (stolen) and he had no say, but in the song its says he fought on arrival and for survival just like the Africans fought for their independence  and co-operation between Africans.

SDI podcast review

SDI

The SDI is a program that was applied in 1995. The purpose of an SDI is to keep people in the countryside rather than them moving into the major cities, the reason for this is to make sure that the major cities are not over populated. The way that they kept the people in the countryside and more rural areas, is by developing the countryside so that the people don’t have to come to the major cities.

HSS homework: video review

This project is a very smart idea. The project enables people to help themselves without relying on others. There are many positives about this project like: Other rural areas can be influenced by it and it can create a ripple effect, it gives everyone a place to live with walls around them, the shelters will now be much stronger, it solves a problem that most rural areas face (not enough shelter) and people may get building jobs in the future because of this experience that they are gaining. This projects helps the country as one develop into a more structured community.

HSS homework activity 1

1.       I think development is improvement of a certain thing or place, like a country.

2.      Five ways of measuring development in a country are: Economic indicators (measure money and wealth), Social indicators (measure the well-being of people in a country, Life expectancy), Development indicators (tell you about the conditions of a community or country), GNI (gross national income, an economic indicator) and HDI (human development index).

3.      Developed countries	Less developed countries
More urban	Less urban (rural)
Clean	Dirty
More employment	Less employment
Latest stuff (technology etc.)	Newest things only come later

4.      LEDC= Less economically developed countries , MEDC= More economically developed countries.

5.      It is better to use the HDI to classify if a country is developed or un-developed because it measures: literacy, poverty, education, life expectancy and other factors.

5.1  . Some of the countries are selected in both the images.

5.2  . This could be because the countries are more un-developed than others.

5.3  .They could have a low ranking because: of the past that the country might have had, struggles with the government etc., size or positioning of the country.

5.4  . Subsistence farming is farming just enough to produce enough food etc. for you or your family.

5.5. In order for a subsistence community to develop, they will need more farming supplies to supply more therefore making more money.

       6. It is a development that won’t break down very easily and it will maintain its structure.

      7.  The 8 millennium goals are: 1. End extreme poverty and hunger, 2. Primary education to all children, 3. Have equality between men and women and empower women, 4. Reduce child mortality , 5. Improve health of pregnant mothers, 6. Fight HIV/AIDS and other diseases, 7. Make sure the environment is used in a sustainable way, 8. Encourage partnerships between governments, businesses etc.
