Fundamentals of Human Geography: Human Development

Question:
Which of the following factor (s) does not determine why a particular region keeps reporting low or high levels of human development?
Options:
Culture of People
the amount of freedom people have
Both 1 and 2
None of the above.
Correct Answer:
Culture of People
Explanation:
To understand why a particular region keeps reporting low or high levels of human development it is important to look at the pattern of government expenditure on the social sector. The political environment of the country and the amount of freedom people have is also important. Often people tend to blame low levels of human development on the culture of the people. For example, X country has lower human development because its people follow Y religion, or belong to Z community. Such statements are misleading.
