Unit 5: What Affects our Quality of Life?

Unit 5 talks about quality of life in various communities and how this can look different based on various social, economic, linguistic, etc, factors. While this focuses on our current unit, it can easily be related back to previous units, so don't hesitate to go back and review previously discussed topics! Everything ties into one's life and the quality of life in their community. Quality of life can be impacted by anything from family to the environment to the economy, so how do we determine what matters most and improve life quality worldwide?

Some questions to keep in mind for this unit are:

How do aspects of everyday life influence and relate to the quality of life?ย ย En quoi les aspects de la vie quotidienne affectent-ils et se rapportent-ils ร  la qualitรฉ de vie?

How does where one lives impact the quality of life?ย ย En quoi le lieu oรน l'on vit influence-t-il la qualitรฉ de vie?
