On second thought, we can affirm that this map is really important so as to denounce World inequalities and to show the World Organisation.

In fact, like we said previously this map show the Global Human Development in 2011 thanks to the HDI ( Human Development Index).

This tool which was developed by the United Nations allows the geographers to measure and rank countries' levels of social and economic development based on four criteria: -Life expectancy at birth -mean years of schooling -expected years of schooling -gross national income per capita.

The HDI makes it possible to track changes in development levels over time and to compare development levels in different countries.

Furthermore, this index shall be between 0 and 1.

Thereby, we can see that the World Organisation is inequal because some countries have a High Human Development with HDI scores between 0,8 and 1,0 whereas some countries for their part have a low human development with HDI scores between 0,0 and 0,5.

When we look at the map, we are able to say that it's principaly the countries from the North ( the host countries) which have the higher scores and mainly the LDC's ( Least Developed Countries) which have the lowest scores.

Nevertheless, we can also affirm that the informations given by the Map are not totally true, this map have some limits.

As a matter of fact, if we take into account the message delivered by the UNDP ( United Nations Development Programme ): ''The HDI does not reflect on inequalities, poverty, human security, empowerment, etc ''.

If we want to see the world inequalites with more precisions, we have to look at a IHDI map ''Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index”.

Thanks to it, we could take into account not only the average achievements of a country on health, education and income, but also how those achievements are distributed among its population by “discounting” each dimension’s average value according to its level of inequality.

As a consequence, we can say the world is still organized between a north-south line with developed countries in the north and countries which are still living in a deep poverty.
