i'm really struggling with questions that ask 'describe how a lack of _____ (e.g. peace/political stability) may affect the health status of people living in *developing country* compared to people living in Australia' (4 marks)
2 marks for each scenario
Lack of political stability = lower life expectancy + explanation - developing country
In contrast, Australia generally experience peace and Political stability thus have lower rates of YLL through premature death in conflict such as wars.
when asked to 'describe a program that could be implemented to improve food security' (3 marks)
I agree with TrebleClef !
But it says
could .. So im guess you have to make up one
This is how i'd tackle it, but im not quite sure.
One mark to explain what is is, another to explain how (link), final one on how it links to food security
Area Development Program which targets on educating farmers on crop production and management(1 mark). This allows farmers to grow more efficient crops which increases the production of food thus making it more readily available to the community (1 mark). This aims to increases the access to sufficient, safe, nutritious food to maintain a healthy life (1mark).
The program helps to promote the health of mothers by providing maternal care to mothers who lack access to maternal health services to reduce their risk of birth complications. The absence of birth complications means that both the child and mother will be in better health to participate in the life of their community and lead productive and creative lives. children who are healthy will be able to get an education and work to contribute to economic growth which which allows for the needs of future generations to be met through economic sustainability. economic growth means that the government will be able to contribute more funding to maternal health services to ensure the health of future mothers and children so that they can achieve human development, thus sustainable human development
what should i cut out/do to improve it
or if anyone knows, how would the 4 marks be awarded?
thanks again D:
You should be more specific. When you identify health, don't be general and just say health but more so physical health. So this program aims to improve the physical health of mothers.. because it doesn't really promote social health?
When you said : The absence of birth complications means that both the child and mother will be in better health to participate in the life of their community and lead productive and creative lives.
Explain how? Why do they are able to lead productive and creative lives if they have better health? Be specific.
That's why I suggest you do health, sustainability then human development, gives you more room to explore.
Here's what i would say.
This program increases the access to maternal health services for pregnant females by assisting them in having common birth implications addressed which improves their physical health (H). If mothers have better physical health, they are better able to continue working, allowing them to earn and income and afford for their children to have access to same or improved resources such as education (S). If the next generation are able to go to school, they have an increased access to knowledge therefore have a greater opportunity to expand their capabilities and choices (HD) through higher employment prospects.
