- To identify what we would need to survive and what we need to have a good standard of living.
- To describe and understand the spiritual model and the material model of development. (the way a country/culture develops)
Spiritual - To maintain a quality of life that protects the balance between material and spiritual needs. (To value friends, family, a fulfilling role in life over the amount of "stuff" we have.)
Material - To continually improve the standard of living and accumulate material wealth. (To earn as much money as possible and buy a big house and lots of things to go in it.)
- To identify the advantages and disadvantages of each model.
- To begin to define Developed and Developing.
Developing - a country of region attempting to achieve the economy of a developed country.
Developed - a country or region that has a high standard of living based on a stable economy (the wealth and resources) with mature agricultural (farming), manufacturing (making things, factories), and tertiary (services, banking, shops) sectors.
Some of you may want to watch the Teenage Affluenza video again. It illustrates nicely how sometimes we don't realise how lucky we are and hopefully makes us think about whether we really need all this "stuff" to have a decent standard of living.
