This unit prepares pupils for a study of the quality of life and different perspectives on the world as explored in unit 16 'What is development?', unit 20 'Comparing countries' and unit 23 'Local action, global effects'. It also prepares pupils for further work on distinguishing facts from hypotheses/theories/opinions, etc, in unit 14 'Can the earth cope?'. This unit provides a basis for GCSE work in geography on population, development and skills - analysing data and images (and is a useful foundation for media studies at GCSE level).
