The World and Cultural Diversity, Edexcel, Geography Unit 4

My teacher has never mention Kuznets Curve, I'm totally unaware of what it is
Can anyone give me a brief explanation/point me in the direction of somewhere I can read about it, and also explain how it could be applicable to the question we might get??

The Environmental Kuznet Curve looks at the relationship between economic development and environmental decay.
Heres an example of what it looks like:

In some aspects its quite far fetched towards our pre release, but we can actually implement it looking at human impacts and the affects they have on the physical environment, hindering cultural diversity.

Thank you so much! I think most of the theories/models related to this topic are gonna be pretty far fetched to include for this question. It's very broad.

This is my most stressful exam by far. I just don't know what makes a good case study, or the best way to structure it, or how to find quotes anywhere else other than textbooks or the internet.

This exam is gonna kill me

How are you all structuring the main analysis? Are you using a case study to back up watch point?

Watch point?
Your case studies make up your analysis, I am considering dividing the analysis into three headings.

I meant each point
What three headings are you thinking?

Thats the question.. thinking of using scales but then factors such as globalisation/ tourism ect...
hbu? What you thinking?

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Was gonna do four points (2 physical and 2 human) so like globalisation will be one heading and then write a bit about that and tourism and then back it up with an example. I think my 4 points are going be globalisation, government control, location and climate! What are yours going to be??

One case study under each heading?
How have you set out your methodology

What theories/models/ concepts will you be using to support your analysis?

I haven't decided on models yet, but I'm definitely using the globalisation theories. What about you? What 4 factors are you going to do?

Theres debate concerning how many case studies they want- some say 6ish, others say 3 so im not completely sure how much detail they demand
Globalisation, Tourism, Political Isolation ...thats what Im thinking

Would tourism not come under globalisation? I've done two factors for human and two for physical because my teacher said its good to keep a balanced argument

Yeah that's what I meant. I will back each factor up with a case study. What case studies are you using?
