What Unit 5 covers
Unit 5 is the second unit of the HL core extension. Development opportunities: how development and inequality are measured, with the Human Development Index, the Gender Inequality Index, the Multidimensional Poverty Index, the Gini coefficient and Lorenz curve, and purchasing power parity; theories of development, from Rostow's stages to dependency theory; and ways of financing development, from multilateral and tied aid to debt relief, microfinance and bottom-up projects. Changing identities and cultures: cultural diffusion, homogenisation and hybridity, glocalisation and cultural imperialism, diasporas, and assimilation, acculturation and multiculturalism. Local responses to global interactions: civil society, localism and movements such as slow food, a sense of place, and cultural landscapes.
Where students slip
- The Gini coefficient runs from 0, perfect equality, to 1, where one person has all the income, so a higher value means a more unequal country. On a Lorenz curve, the further the curve bows away from the diagonal, the higher the Gini coefficient.
- Assimilation is a minority adopting the host culture and losing its own distinct identity. Acculturation is taking on some traits of another culture through long contact while keeping one's own.
- The HDI is a national average of life expectancy, education and income, so it hides inequality within a country. The Gini coefficient measures income inequality, and the Gender Inequality Index the gaps between women and men.
The sets
Play this set opens the set in splycr, where you can read every question and host it for your class straight away. Hosting needs no account, and students join with the code on the board. A free account lets you copy a set and edit it.
The questions were written for the splycr library by Biology by Bradford. Each one plays as multiple choice, and the three wrong options were written for that question.
Growing worldwide sameness of tastes, brands and media as consumer products spread?
Answer: Cultural homogenisation
Spread of traits such as language, religion or cuisine from one place to another?
Answer: Cultural diffusion
Emotional attachment and meaning that people give to a particular locality?
Answer: Sense of place
Game modes that suit this unit or option
Every set plays in all eight modes. These two fit this unit or option best.
Throne
Assimilation or acculturation, homogenisation or hybridity, glocalisation or cultural imperialism: Unit 5's terms make a good duel. One student defends the throne against the whole class, and a wrong answer from the champion costs double.
Boss Battle
The development measures sit close together: the HDI, the GII, the MPI and the Gini coefficient, with tied and multilateral aid. A wrong answer heals the boss, so the class gains nothing by guessing an index.
