SS7G11 The student will explain the impact of location, climate, physical characteristics,
distribution of natural resources, and population distribution on Southern and Eastern Asia:
a. Describe the impact climate and location has on population distribution in Southern and
Eastern Asia~
In Southeast Asia, most people tend to live near the coast and rivers. In India, the Ganges River is considered sacred, so many people live close to the river so they can bathe, wash their clothes, and dump their loved ones' ashes or bodies into the river.
b. Describe how the mountain, desert, and water features of Southern and Eastern Asia have
affected the population in terms of where people live, the types of work they do, and how they
travel~
What exactly is the difference between an ethnic and religious group? Well, a religious group is specifically a group of people, such as Christians, who all believe and practice the same religion. An ethnic group, such as the Arabs, can share a common religion, but they also share beliefs, culture, traditions, clothing, and other ways of life.
b. Compare and contrast the prominent religions in Southern and Eastern Asia: Buddhism,
Hinduism, Islam, Shintoism and the philosophy of Confucianism~

c. Evaluate how the literacy rate affects the standard of living~
The Literacy Rate of a country greatly affects the standard of living. If more people in a country can read and write, then they will have more job opportunities, which makes them more money, which helps them have a greater standard of living.
SS7CG6 The student will compare and contrast various forms of government:
a. Describe the ways government systems distribute power: unitary, confederation, and federal~
Unitary = Central government has the power.
Confederation = Local government has the power (little guys work with each other).
Federal = Shared power between the local and central governments.
Confederation in Southeast Asia: ASEAN-Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
b. Explain how governments determine citizen participation: autocratic, oligarchic, and democratic~
Autocracy (Auto = self): One person has the power.
Oligarchy: Limited power (government by the few).
Democracy (Demo = people): Citizens have a lot of power.
c. Describe the two predominant forms of democratic governments: parliamentary and
presidential~
Parliamentary: A system of democratic governance of a state in which the executive branch derives its democratic legitimacy from, and is held accountable to, the legislature.
Example: The United Kingdom
Presidential: A republican system of government where a head of government is also head of state and leads an executive branch that is separate from the legislative branch.
Example: The United States.
SS7CG7 The student will demonstrate an understanding of national governments in Southern
and Eastern Asia:
a. Compare and contrast the federal republic of The Republic of India, the communist state of The
People’s Republic China, and the constitutional monarchy of Japan, distinguishing the form of
leadership and the role of the citizen in terms of voting rights and personal freedoms~

SS7E8 The student will analyze different economic systems:
a. Compare how traditional, command, market economies answer the economic questions of (1)
what to produce, (2) how to produce, and (3) for whom to produce~
Traditional- In a traditional economy, all of the economic questions are answered based on traditions. The economy does what they have always done to answer the basic economic questions.
Command- In a command economy, all of the basic economic questions are answered by the government. Citizens have no say whatsoever in determining what to produce, how to produce, or for whom to produce.
Market- In a market economy, all of the basic economic questions are determined by supply and demand. Citizens have pretty much all the power in a purely market economy.
b. Explain how most countries have a mixed economy located on a continuum between pure
market and pure command~
Every country in the world is located on a continuum. One end says "Command" and the other says "Market". However, no country in the world can be purely market or command, because, if the government controlled EVERYTHING, people would have no freedom. But, if the government controlled NOTHING, then people would have too much freedom.
c. Compare and contrast the economic systems in China, India, Japan, and North Korea~
SS7E9 The student will explain how voluntary trade benefits buyers and sellers in Southern and
Eastern Asia:
a. Explain how specialization encourages trade between countries~
Specialization encourages trade between countries because if one country needs oil, then they would trade something that they specialize in with a country that specializes in oil, because if they can't produce a necessity, then they will trade with someone that can.
b. Compare and contrast different types of trade barriers, such as tariffs, quotas, and embargos~
Tariff- A tax on an imported good.
Quota- A set limit on the amount of goods that can be imported or produced.
Embargo- A trade barrier that restricts all trade between two countries.
c. Explain why international trade requires a system for exchanging currencies between nations~
Most of the countries in Southeast Asia have their own type of currency. In order for them to pay for goods as they trade with each other, they had to establish a system of exchanging from one type of currency to another. This system is known as an exchange rate. They also have to be able to exchange their currencies with those used by other countries around the world. The currency of the United States is based on the dollar. In most of Western Europe, currency is called the Euro. In Southeast Asia, there are many different types of currency. In order for them to trade with each other, they have to be able to figure out what goods cost in each currency.
SS7E10 The student will describe factors that influence economic growth and examine their
presence or absence in India, China, and Japan:
a. Explain the relationship between investment in human capital (education and training) and
gross domestic product (GDP)~
Well, human capital is investing in education and training so companies will have an educated work force. If there are more educated workers, then more products will be produced. And with more products to sell, the country will function more efficiently, which will raise the country's GDP.
b. Explain the relationship between investment in capital (factories, machinery, and technology)
and gross domestic product (GDP)~
If a country invests in capital resources, such as factories, machinery, and technology, then they will be able to produce their products more efficiently, which will raise the country's GDP.
c. Describe the role of natural resources in a country’s economy~
Natural resources are very important to a country's economy. They can not only help to produce goods and services, but can also provide the people in the country with food and water.
d. Describe the role of entrepreneurship~
The role of entrepreneurship in any country is very important. With more entrepreneurs, countries will have more businesses. With more businesses, they will be much more productive. Countries with more entrepreneurs will also most likely have an economy that is more towards market than command.
SS7H3 The student will analyze continuity and change in Southern and Eastern Asia leading to
the 21st century:
a. Describe how nationalism led to independence in India and Vietnam~
N/A.
b. Describe the impact of Mohandas Gandhi’s belief in non-violent protest~
Eastern Asia:
a. Explain how specialization encourages trade between countries~
