3. Pictures which shows INEQUALITY.
Gender inequality acknowledges that men and
women are not equal and that gender affects an
individual's living experience. Women's
empowerment is a critical aspect of achieving
gender equality. It includes increasing a woman's
sense of self-worth, her decision-making power,
her access to opportunities and resources, her
power and control over her own life inside and
outside the home, and her ability to effect change.
Yet gender issues are not focused on women
alone, but on the relationship between men and
women in society. The actions and attitudes of
men and boys play an essential role in achieving
gender equality.

Political inequality is the difference brought about by


the ability to access governmental resources which
therefore have no civic equality. In treatment and
responsibility differences, some people benefit more
and can quickly receive more privileges than others.
This is usually in the between of poor and rich
people. The one who has the massive amount of
money can have more power than others.

the lone survivors account this film starring Mark Wahlberg depicts the horror of being geographically trapped
during war along with the bravery of the soldiers. Lone Survivor does have its melodramatic moments yet it’s
the circumstances and tactical efforts that capture the spirit of the mission and the men involve.
Platoon
Chris Taylor is a young, native American who gives up college and volunteers for combat in Vietnam.
Upon arrival, he quickly discovers that his presence is quite nonessential, and is considered insignificant to the
other soldiers, as he has not fought for as long as the rest of them and felt the effects of combat. Chris has two
non-commissioned officers, the ill-tempered and indestructible Staff Sergeant Robert Barnes and the more
pleasant and cooperative Sergeant Elias Grodin. A line is drawn between the two NCOs and a number of men
in the platoon when an illegal killing occurs during a village raid. As the war continues, Chris himself draws
towards psychological meltdown. And as he struggles for survival, he soon realizes he is fighting two battles,
the conflict with the enemy and the conflict between the men within his platoon.

A. Identify five (5) countries which belong to the NORTH OR DEVELOPED COUNTRIES and SOUTH OR
DEVELOPING COUNTRIES. Write your answer in a bullet-type form why such country is being called
Developed or Developing Countries? Your answer must be short and concise!
DEVELOPED COUNTRIES

 Canada – This country is considered as developed country. As the eleventh biggest world economy,
Canada has a various financial base. It has an abundance of characteristic assets, including oil, gas,
and coal.
 France – It is a developed country and has one of the world's largest economies. As of 2016, France
has the world’s sixth-largest economy by nominal gross domestic product (GDP), and it is the fourth-
largest nation in terms of aggregate household wealth.
 Germany – It is a developed country due to both a thriving economy and a high quality of life for its
residents. This country is known for delivering world-class quality in products including machinery,
motor vehicles, electronics, and pharmaceuticals. Germany recently surpassed China as the world's
largest surplus economy, with its exported products exceeding its imported products.
 Italy - Italy is a developed nation with extensive infrastructure, a rich cultural history, and control over
several exports. Italy is known for producing high-quality luxury products, such as fashion accessories,
sports cars, and food products. It is the world's second-largest producer of wine.
 South Korea – This country is widely regarded as having joined the developed world. The country has
a strong per capita gross domestic product (GDP), low infant mortality rate and high life expectancy,
and offers its citizens widespread access to quality health care and higher education.
DEVELOPING COUNTRIES

 China – This country is still a developing country. Despite having the world's second-largest economy
and third-largest military, China is still not classified as a developed country. The biggest reason: the
country's per capita GDP remains below any accepted minimum threshold for developed-country
status. Other attributes indicating China is not developed include its high proportion of agriculture and
low level of technological innovation.
 Malaysia – This country is considered as a developing country, despite undergoing rapid economic
development over the past five decades. Malaysia's gross domestic product (GDP), per capital income,
level of industrialization and overall standard of living are not on par with other developed countries.
 Philippines – This country considered as a developing country as this country falls behind on every
one of the most common metrics used by economist to determine development status. The Philippines'
per capital gross domestic product (GDP), Human Development Index (HDI) and life expectancy sit well
below the thresholds for developed country status. Moreover, the country's infant mortality rate is very
high, its industrialization is minimal, and many of its citizens lack access to quality health care and
higher education.

 Nigeria – This country is a developing country as the country's per capital gross domestic product
(GDP) is much too low, as are the country's living standards. Industrialization in Nigeria lags behind all
the countries upon which universal agreement of developed status exists. Nigeria also suffers from low
literacy rates, poor health care, and a stratospheric infant mortality rate.
 Brazil – It is a developing country, though it has several characteristics of one, including the largest
economy in South America or Central America, Brazil is still considered as developing due to its low
GDP per capital, low living standards, high infant mortality rate, and other factors.

B. In a short bond paper draw or cut two (2) comparative pictures (example Poor and Rich) that may
show inequality. Write a short explanation under your chosen pictures.

Income inequality is an extreme disparity of Social inequality refers to relational processes in


income distributions with a high concentration of society that have the effect of limiting or harming a
income usually in the hands of a small group's social status, social class, and social circle.
percentage of a population. When income social inequality include access the freedom of

1. Define and explain what is the poorest of the poor?
Poorest of the poor encompasses living conditions, an inability to meet basic needs because food,
clean drinking water, proper sanitation, education, health care and other social services are inaccessible. The
poorest of the poor suffered most from marginalization: from being trapped outside the networks where human
economic creativity flourishes, wealth is created. Women, old people and children are considered the poorest
of the poor in the society. They are systematically denied equal access to the resources available to all. Hence,
they are considered the poorest of the poor.
2. Why life expectancy is different in developing countries to developed countries? Give 3 reasons
High literacy rate as factors effecting life expectancy. Our economy is enhanced when learners have
higher literacy levels. Effective literacy skills open the doors to more educational and employment opportunities
so that people are able to pull themselves out of poverty. It is essential that individuals continuously expand
their knowledge and learn new skills in order to keep up with the pace of change. A developing country will
give more attention to these factors to make a country to develop.
Standard Health Facilities effecting life expectancy. A developed country has a standard health facilities
that can help and treat its people. “The right to the highest attainable standard of health” implies a clear set of
legal obligations on states to ensure appropriate conditions for the enjoyment of health for all people without
discrimination.
Low currency determinants of life expectancy. A fixed exchange rate occurs when a country keeps the
value of its currency at a certain level against another currency. Often countries join a semi-fixed exchange
rate, where the currency can fluctuate within a small target level. A lower the value of the currency the higher
the value in other country. A develop country will have a lower currency.
