"We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America".
This is one of the most popular songs of the 20th century, performed by the Swedish group ABBA. Explain what does it mean when someone use the phrase: "FINALLY FACING MY WATERLOO".
Lyrics:
My, my, at Waterloo Napoleon did surrender Oh yeah, and I have met my destiny in quite a similar way The history book on the shelf Is always repeating itself
Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo
My, my, I tried to hold you back but you were stronger Oh yeah, and now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight And how could I ever refuse I feel like I win when I lose
Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo
So how could I ever refuse I feel like I win when I lose -
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo
The HDI was created to emphasize that people and their capabilities should be the ultimate criteria for assessing the development of a country, not economic growth alone. The HDI can also be used to question national policy choices, asking how two countries with the same level of GNI per capita can end up with different human development outcomes. These contrasts can stimulate debate about government policy priorities.
The Human Development Index (HDI) is a summary measure of average achievement in key dimensions of human development: a long and healthy life, being knowledgeable and
have a decent standard of living.
The HDI is the geometric mean of normalized indices for each of the three dimensions.
Divide the world by HDI categories as it is in the table and define the upper and lower limits of each category. For example -- very high HDI from 0,8 to 1...
Give 5 countries as an example per category.
In which continent are those countries?
How are different European countries distributed in terms of HDI?
First of all, write a title in capital letters stating what we are representing: "European countries by GDP per capita", for example. Do not forget to write the source of our data, normally down and on the side, and the date of our data: "IMF, 2014", for example.
Classify European countries by GDP per capita establishing 4 or 5 categories according to their values in the table. Each category needs a colour to represent their values. As we are representing quantitative values, colours may better have the same type but different intensity (all green or blue, but lighter or darker). This classification has to be placed on the map for everyone to read it properly. Use Russia as background in this case.
The following map is ONLY an example, because it's probably NOT using the same data as us:
