Combining Sources Model Answer

Exercise 4 Model answer

Source C claims that tourism creates a significant amount of employment which provides a welcome alternative to traditional work such as farming. However, source D points out that many of these jobs are insecure and poorly paid, being likely to contribute to social tensions. This negative view is partly supported by source E, who insists that despite some positive examples the more common experience
of developing countries is for tourism to exacerbate social ills such as crime and prostitution.

Model answers

.    4a  It is widely believed that the railways are deteriorating.

.    4b  Serious crime, such as murder, is increasing.

.    4c  The figures in that report are not reliable.

.    4d  The second factor is that the majority of children in that district may become criminals.

.    4e  There appears to be a significant risk of further strikes and disorder.

.    4f  Women were enfranchised in 1994.

.    4g  The Russian inflation led to poverty and disease.

.    4h  A malaria vaccine may be discovered in the next 10 years.

.    4i  There were two main causes of the American Revolution.

.    5a  Currently, significant numbers of children are starting school at the age of four or less, whereas 30 years ago five was the normal age. There appear to be various reasons for the change; mothers, for example, need to rejoin the labour force. There are mixed views about the effects of this change on the children concerned. Jenkins (1989) claims that early school attendance causes social problems such as theft and drug taking. There seems to be considerable evidence to support his views and there may be an argument in favour of a state subsidy for women to stay at home with their children.

.    5b  There appear to be two principal reasons for the growing traffic congestion. Firstly, public transport has become increasingly expensive relative to the falling cost of motoring. In addition, car ownership is much more convenient than using public transport. Together, these factors result in higher vehicle density.
