About The Development Gap
GoConqr OriginalStart with the key terms
Begin with the flashcards on development, standard of living and quality of life. The deck also asks about the Brandt line and why it may be out of date. Use the cards to check which terms you can explain, then return to those that need more attention.
For a longer introduction, read the notes titled Bridging the development gap. They open with definitions of development and the development gap. Compare those definitions with the terms in the flashcards.
Explore the mind maps
The The Development Gap mind map gives an overview of contrasts in development, global inequalities and ways of dividing the world. Follow it with North/South Divide, which includes development, sectors of the economy and aid.
For another view of differences in development, open Uneven Development. Its branches include wealth, health and education. The Disparities in Wealth and Development mind map lists measures such as life expectancy, literacy and schooling. Compare the measures with the terms you encountered in the flashcards and notes.
Use a quiz alongside the maps
After exploring the overview, try Development Gap Quiz. Use its questions to identify ideas you want to look at again. You can then return to a mind map and follow the relevant branches before taking the quiz again.
The page also lists resources on obstacles to growth and the consequences of the development gap. These can help you move beyond definitions as you explore the topic.
Place the topic in the unit
The Development Gap is one section of Development and the Changing Economic World in Geography. Keep the topic's key terms and measures in mind as you work through this section of the unit. Choose a map to explore next, or make your own flashcards from the ideas you want to practice.
