Analyse how different worldviews, and the values and practices associated with them, impact on sustainability
This standard asks you to write an analysis of how different worldviews (ways of seeing the world) and their connected values and practices affect sustainability. You'll pick two different worldviews, explain what values matter to each one and how those values show up in real actions, then explore whether those worldviews help or harm environmental, social, cultural, and economic sustainability—both now and in the future.
You describe the values and practices of each worldview and make some links to sustainability (usually focusing on environmental), and you compare the two worldviews but don't go deep into future consequences.
You explain how the values and practices of each worldview connect to sustainability across the four aspects, you analyse both present and future consequences with good comparisons, but you don't fully explore the complexities and tensions within the worldviews themselves.
You produce a well-structured analysis that explores how worldviews contain complexities and contradictions, you integrate all four sustainability aspects throughout, you make insightful conclusions about how these complexities affect sustainability outcomes, and you weave in Māori concepts meaningfully rather than as an add-on.
