Why standard of living is so important and how it can be used?

I think it is important to know about standard of living because it makes it easier to know  how much money is used for each person's needs and wants by using GDP per capita. Also if some countries have a low health you can look at the infant mortality rate and doctors per 1000 people and maybe give them aid in that country. Lastly if a country has a low education you could donate them books and other stuff.

Ideas about economics and standard of living be analyzed using the five themes of geography because if you were to use place you can find out what the country is like and the physical characteristics are so you could know the health, wealth and education and infrastructure based on what the country is like and needs. Human characteristics could also be used because it could show how people in a specific country adapt to their needs.

Reflecting on Basic Map Skills

While doing the map skills the skill that I thought was the easiest was cardinal directions. I thought this one was the easiest for me because I already knew about it and there were a lot of sayings that went along with it. I struggled with coordinates the most. I think I struggled with it the most because you had to be so precise and there are a lot of countries that are so close together so it was hard to tell which coordinate goes with which. Basic skills help you with geography because first of all, you need to know where all the countries are and where they are located and you also need to know how to read a map.
