Unit focus
Unit 6 Enduring understandings - what you need to know & understand
- The Industrial Revolution, as it diffused from its hearth, facilitated improvements in standards of living.
- Measures of development are used to understand patterns of social and economic differences at a variety of scales.
- Development is a process that varies across space and time.
- Sustainable development is a strategy to address resource depletion and environmental degradation.
Unit Concepts:
This is a most important unit if students are to understand the world in which they live. Regretfully, Development is given short shrift by the AP, thus there is a need to expand the study beyond the confines of the prescribed AP curriculum. In effect, there are two separate issues here: industrialization, and development. They are not synonymous.
