Standard of Living Reflection

By Anonymous -
I think it is important to learn about standard of living because it can and maybe will help you in the future. When you get old enough to move and buy a house, you may need to use standard of living to help you determine where to live. You don’t want to live in a country that has a low GDP per capita because that means the countries wealth is low. You don’t want to live in a country were their life expectancy is 65 years, because that means they have low health. Knowing about standard of living is important to learn about because it helps you better understand information about other places and may help you when you do things later in life.

Ideas about economic and standard of living can be analyzed using the 5 themes of geography because you can compare parts of standard of living like health and education to parts of the 5 themes of geography like location and movement. You can analyze them by this example. Location has something to do with health because if the location of the place is in a place that is hot and dry and maybe has a lot of bugs, then the health is not going to be good because those things can cause people to get sick easily.

Basic map skills reflection

By Anonymous -
What I found easy about basic map skills was the continents and ocean because I feel like they are easy to remember and I had already learned them in elementary school.  I struggled most  with coordinates. I found it difficult because I didn’t really understand latitude and longitude so it made it hard to find the location of the coordinates. Something that makes it more difficult is that i keep mixing up latitude and longitude so that makes it hard when trying to find the coordinates that are given to me. Basic map skills are necessary because if you are asked to go somewhere or you are lost and you don’t know where you are you can use your basic map skills to help you find your way to where you need to go. They help you better understand geography because geography is about knowing about and learning about places and you have a hard time learning about them if you don’t know your basic map skills so if you know them you will understand geography better.
