Document Summary

Geography 6 world regions: concepts and contemporary issues. Western nations have had and continue to have an influence on the rest of the world through colonization and imperialism. After countries receive their independence from western colonization and imperialism, there tends to be a power struggle that leads to civil unrest and/or reliance on western nations. From civil unrest and western reliance, these countries face two long-term effects today: instability and challenges in development. During its rule, the belgians favored the tutsi minority over the hutu. Because of favoritism, the hutus revolted, forcing the tutsi monarch into exile and causing numerous tutsis to flee rwanda. After rwanda received its independence, there was a power struggle that resulted in more civil and racial unrest. When the president of rwanda died in a plane crash, complete anarchy occurred: the hutus slaughtered and raped countless tutsis. Hutus used broadcasting, telling other hutus to murder their tutsi neighbors.

AP Human Geography HDI Mapping Analysis

Directions: Draw the Brandt Line on your copy of the shared HDI Map. Then, using the map, the HDI PDF, and the attached sources, answer the following questions in explicit detail.

Your answers should be in the COMPLETE ANSWER form. Each written answer should: 1) incorporate the prompt into the answer, 2) use full sentences, 3) answer all parts of each question, 4) use APHG vocabulary and content within your answers. For this exercise, consider "Latin America" to be a single region and "Sub-Saharan Africa" to be a single region (in other words, it is not necessary to divide these areas into subregions for analysis purposes.)

Task Verb	Definition	Expectation
Identify	To state a clear, concise, specific answer.	Often, a single, well-written sentence is sufficient, but you can add clarifying details. However, do not contradict or add confusion to your original answer.
Describe	To state a clear, concise, specific answer.	Note the attributes or characteristics of a place, idea, or person. Include a concrete example in a description.
Explain	To give an account or add details as to why or how processes or patterns occurred.	Offer reasons, evidence, or examples to make an idea plainly understood, or state how a process occurs.
