SDI

I the SDI initiative is a great idea. It gives many rural areas of South Africa a chance to grow and expand and also to earn money off the land and natural resources around them. It will decrease the unemployment rate and most probably decrease poverty aswell. I think its a great initiaive for South Africans and it should be implemented in more areas.

Review On The AnyWays Video

I think its an amazing idea because it gives hope to these people that live in this rural area and it shows that they can help themselves and build up their own community and that they dont have to rely on the government to provide their houses. They are in control of their life and their future. I think these projects are great ideas and there should be more of them.It gives people reason to work and it keeps them from crime, it also builds houses for them. If they live in the houses, disease and death tolls will definitely decrease. They can also continue to improve their living environments and they can teach their children and friends etc. If this work ethic continues South Africa can improve it infrastructure and make us a fully fledged first world country.

MEDC: More Economically Developed country

5. It is because it is a lot more calculated and takes into account more than one indicator therefore it is a lot more likely to be correct. It also focuses on how people are living, and this is one of the main things that will determine whether a country is developed or not.

5.1.       Yes there is some overlap

5.2.      If your HDI is very low, this means that you will probably not have access to basic human needs or hosptals, doctors etc.

5.3.       The less people you have in a country, the less money you can make. If lots of babies die, this means there are very few health facilities. Also, if lots of babies are dying, this generally means that the country does not have electricity or running water and also it may mean that the people are uneducated.

5.4.      It is when you only farm to support your own families.
