Help needed in answering sustainable human development questions

[TomMCDozz]

Hey guys,
Currently our school is doing Unit 4 AOS 2, in our past SAC's we've been required to complete a 6 mark question related to linking things such as education/income to reaching sustainable health and human development. Usually I'm only getting 4-5 marks on these, so just wondering if anyone has a guide to answering these questions, or a strategy that can enable me to hit the nail on the head every time, no matter what I have to link to.
Would be appreciated!

EDIT: If you want, you could give us a sample or two, and we can critique them and help you from there

Depends what type of question; do you mean the 'interrelationships' question, which goes something like 'Use this program/factor to discuss the interrelationships between health, HD and sustainability', or 'Discuss the impact of this program/factor on sustainable human development, discussing as part of your answer the interrleationships between H, HD and S'.

If so, read this:

Okey dokey.  They're actually not that hard once you know how, since it's just conglomerating all the easy 2-mark 'impact on health' and 'impact on SHD'!  Here's how I did it:

1.  Link program (or w/e) to health/HS.  Easy.  Outline impact of program on PMS or health status indicators.
2.  Link health + program to HD.  Basically say, if you're more healthy (as just shown) due to the program, then you can go to school/work and achieve HD!
3.  Link to sust.  If people have HD, they're more likely to pass knowledge on to future generations blah blah.  This link can be tricky, but as long as you use linking words and make it flow, you'll be fine. 
4.  Link program to sust.  Explain how program promotes economic/envrionmental/social sustainability.
5.  Link sust to health & HD - basically say that if it's sustainable, in the future people can achieve H & HD, because if it's not sustainable the impacts of this program will be limited etc.

Summary: Link
1.  Program -> health.
2.  Health -> HD
3.  HD and/or program -> sustainability.
4.  Sust -> future H & HD.

Write enough of this in enough detail (and underline the words 'sustainability', 'health' and 'human development' a couple of times throughout to prove to the examiner that you're box-ticking) and you'll be right.  Remember to quote specifics from the program at intervals, and use linking words (e.g. thus, hence, this leads to, through this).

Otherwise, if it's just a 6-mark 'explain the impact of X on health and sustainable human development', then you'd cover:
- link to health (physical, mental and social ideally, and/or link to 1-2 health status indicators) - 2 marks
- link to HD - cough up chunks of the HD definition - 2 marks
- link to sustainability - mention 'meeting needs of future without compromising needs of present' and economic, environemntal and/or social sust. - 2 marks

So first you have to learn how to link the 7 factors from Unit 4 AOS 1 (peace, income, educaiton, healthcare, global marketing, gender equality, and physical environments) to:
- health
- human development
- sustainability.

If you can't do any of these, then it's time to figure it out.  Tip: make sure you know how to link education and income to health and HD.  If you can do that, you can generally link anything else to education and income and from there to H & HD.

Once you know that, you can answer any of the higher-mark questions

Thanks for that! Really helped me out
