I'm struggling to get sustainable human development. Also, what type of questions can we expect involving SHD ?
^^ i just came across this question.
3. Explain how improving the health of women in Haiti will impact on sustainable human development
(it was part of a case study but it's pretty irrelevant anyway)
Yeah, in general the questions will be something like 'Explain how ____ will impact/promote SHD', and ____ can be basically anything.
SHD = health + HD + sustainability. So to answer SHD questions, link to:
1. Health
2. HD
3. Sustainability
(and if it's 2-3 marks, or health has already been mentioned in the question, you can skip on the health bit).
So basically, link to PM&orS, then chunks from the HD definition, then throw in a sentence about sustainability: environmental, social, or economic, or link to the sust definition about meeting the needs of future generations without compromising the present. How deep you go is based on the number of marks; it's generally anywhere from 2 to 6 marks. If it's six marks, treat it like an interrelationships question, which you probably haven't done yet so ignore this.
sorry for draining it, but, with this dot point: 'The role of the United Nations (UN) in providing global health and sustainable human development through the following areas of action; world peace and security, human rights, humanitarian assistance and social and economic development.'
With the 'global health' bit, is that different to PMS??
Basically all dot points in U4 AOS 2 link to
GH and SHD. No, GH is different from health; it's
'The health of populations in a worldwide context that go beyond the perspective and concerns of individual countries. Global health is about an international collaborative approach to achieving equity in health for all people worldwide.'(And yes, they asked us to define this last year, which very few people got; that's why I recommend going through
all the definitions in the Advice for Teachers glossary, like the NHPAs, Ottawa Charter or Social Model haven't been tested but could be.)
This is the one bit of the course I'm not 100% sure how to answer - I tended to link to health status indicators and then chuck in the phrases 'equity in health' and 'for all people worldwide' (which is like the below example, so I believe I did it correctly). Because this is new to the SD last year, this is the only sample that VCAA has given us of an appropriate answer:
Q: Explain how the human right listed above [in this case, adequate food] impacts GH.
A: Having the right to adequate food will decrease malnutrition, thus decreasing the morbidity and mortality from malnutrition in populations worldwide. It will also increase people’s life expectancy, thus impacting on global health as it attempts to achieve equity in provision of food and health status for all people worldwide.
Hi, just wondering:
Do we need to know specific details about programs? eg. CARE mission and values
It all just seems a bit irrelevant but the study design dot point regarding NGOs is relatively broad
No, you don't; because they don't name a specific NGO and it's totally free for all, they're never ever going to test anything like this. What I learnt for this was just the names of a few Aus-based NGOs, and about two programs (which, since it can overlap with the last dot-point of the SD, is very simple).
- Note, when I give advice to avoid learning unnecessary stuff, that sort of thing is the 'unnecessary' that heaps of people waste their time on. Be smart about it.
