Hey guys, for the dot point in people and economic activity that says
- the environmental, social, and economic impacts of the economic activity such as ...
What do we talk about? Impacts on the activity, or impacts on the world?
We've been taught impacts on the activity but when I read that dot point I think it should be the world. Which is it?
This heavily depends on which economic activity you are studying, e.g I'm doing tourism.
You need to discuss the positives and negatives of all 3 impacts resulting from the economic activity on the world.
E.g. for environmental impacts - positives such as increased awareness through education and negatives such as pollution, erosion, degradation etc
For economic impacts - provision of infrastructure, millions of people being employed globally (good to include some stats too, e.g. 7% of Australian workforce employed in tourism) and the negatives such as the casualisation of labour.
And so on for social impacts.
Hope this helped. Best of luck in the exam.
