Hi, My RQ for my EE, is To what extent is Cambodia’s history still affecting the population structure, education and prospects of today’s youth in Cambodia? I'm just curious to know if other people think that this is related to Geography enough before i start to write out my EE properly and if they think that it is achievable within the word limit.Thanks for your opinons

What does the IB mean exactly when they say an essay should have "spatial emphasis"? What is the definition of spatial emphasis in regards to geography ee?

I'm doing my Extended Essay in Geography, possibly on medical tourism in Bangkok. With a focus on Bumrungrad Hospital (major one for this topic) My question is possibly: "What changes has Bangkok's Bumrungrad hospital made since its establishment to accommodate (medical tourists/ foreign patients) ?" Firstly, is it fit for geography or would it end up being a Business Management EE as it is about developments and changes? Do you think the question shouldn't be a 'what' question? Is a hypothesis required for a geography EE? Is my question too focused - as I have

Hello! I am currently doing a Geography EE and am a bit lost on how to come up with a concrete question to base my research off of. My question revolves around - - To what extent is the HDI of Kerala and British Columbia comparable in terms of poverty development? (Full changed question still in works) - poverty in BC (what is the government doing) - poverty in Kerala (what is the government doing) - poverty headcount ratio - How does gender play a role? - Possibly some section due to COVID 19 I am a BC resident, so I am able to possibly collect first

Hello there! I've been thinking hard about my Geo EE and I'm pretty lost. I'm Malaysian, and I will be spending almost the whole summer there, near the capital, Kuala Lumpur, so I have to do my research there. But I'll also be going to Penang, which is famous for tourism and food. So the ideas that I had are: i) Are the street stalls near big houses representative of income disparities? ii) A comparison of jobs and incomes in a higher level residential area and lower income residential area, which are close by to each other iii) There are three primaries schools in one town: a Malay one, a Tam

Hello all! I am currently in the summer between the first year of IB and the second. Over the first year I came up with the title of: How has the globalization of food in Thailand affected the health of the population in terms of non-communicable diseases such as heart disease and diabetes? I am interested in studying medicine in university in the future and decided to do a medicine related EE in geography as there are no experiments required (unlike the group 4 sciences) and it provides a different aspect of medicine, and I decided to focus it in Thailand as I live here and know the cult

Hey, I'm really trying to get a 7 on my Geography IA, as Geography is my best and favourite subject and I don't want a mediocre grade to affect that. Can anyone give me some tips as what to do and not to do? And anywhere I can find an actual rubric that I can print out? Cheers.

Hi everyone, Can anyone please give me some good Ib extended Essay topics which are related to Oceans and coastal marginal unit or any other topics, please!!

hey, could someone please tell me if it's true that you can put some infographics into your IA and put some of the words there in order to reduce your word count (and the words on the infographic won't be calculated)? thank you

Hi all, Im coming up with some research questions and two of them were related to; How good public transport connectedness with periphery towns has aided the city/greater municipal area, and How government plans and construction of more bike paths have aided (economy or environment) I think I still have to refine it to one specific factor, but is it even possible to gather primary data on these things? Help would be appreciated, Thanks

Hello! I am a rising 11th grader and initially selected the courses: HL History, HL Geography, HL English LL, SL Spanish LL, SL Biology, and SL Math Applications and Interpretation. I am considering to switch from HL Geography to HL Biology, and change to SL Math Analysis. However, I would then have two very content heavy HL courses (Bio and History), which I have heard very bad things about. How do-able is it to do these courses together? Could someone also provide feedback on the new maths courses? While I heard that universities do not care which one you pick unless you study a mathema

Hi, I am in my first year of IB and I have 4 HL's. I am debating on dropping either Geography HL or Economics HL but don't know which one to drop. Which one should I drop?

I was planning to do something about how globalization has affected social norms in Japan (where I live)? Basically, I think globalization has made social norms more flexible and has changed them... Of course I would have to make the way I gather the data more complex, such as some techniques used in this https://www.unicef.org/protection/files/4_09_30_Whole_What_are_Social_Norms.pdf (I'll think of something, idk) But i dont know how to make it better? One teacher talked about how social norms was a bit too hard to do as you don't know that it's a social norm, but in Japan - I

Whatsup people, I have been thinking about my extended essay question and after a few hours of research this is what I have To what extent does the use and manufacturing of electrical cars benefit the environment in the European Union? I think its too broad and another conflict I have experienced is that I don't do any of the 2 topics this question focuses on. (Geo and physics). I do feel like there is plenty on the internet I can use. If you have a way to turn this into an economics question,(which I do study) or any suggestions please let me know. It would be highly appreciated.

Hi! I'm currently collecting data for my investigation, and I want to use a couple of different maps to showcase the information (such as dot-mapping, showing the area with color gradients, etc.). I'm working with traffic flow as a consequence of public works. so I wan't to portray graphically my data in at least two different types of maps. However, I have found online free map making resources to be limited or too simplistic. I used Google's "My Maps" to point down in rectangles and specific locations, but the inscriptions (such as bars, gyms and irrelevant places) are somewhat distracting.

Hi, I'll have to decide on our ia topics by tomorrow! I came up with 2 potential ia topics but can't decide which one to do: Does my city fit the multi-nuclei model? What factors affect the sphere of influence of the local supermarket/store? With the 1st one I'll need to find certain features in the, say 5-6, potential commercial centers in my city, and use the definitions to prove that they are indeed CBDs, and then piece them together. There're a few classmates with similar topics and we're supposed to go in groups, but still it might be pretty tough fieldwork?

Hi, My fieldwork report (IA) is due to be finished till the end of summer tbh my class has done a fieldwork investigation already in an urban park area in a bigger city, but the whole data collection was messed up and now i'm thinking about doing a research on my own :( I live in Hungary and the only place where they grow rice is around the little town where i happen to live...they have bio rice, wild rice and all kinds of stuff, anyways It sort of a HUGE deal, the paddy fields take up an area of 1000 ha land, they water it from a special canal and supposedly it satisfies 30% of

Hi... I plan to write this EE under the theme Equality and Inequality. I was wondering whether this RQ would provide enough scope to write 4000 essay: To what extent have the Singaporean government subsidies for education and housing improved social and spatial mobility in Singapore? I was thinking of comparing data from two government datasets to determine whether the policies have been successful in the past decade. Moreover, I was thinking of mapping the data to show the difference in access to good schools or housing and how they impact development in the areas with less access. Would such

I have the option to take an IB elective for the diploma, and IB geo SL was one of them. I really like geography, but I've heard that the class is all about global sustainability and helping the environment, is that true? Because if it is, I'm not really sure if I want to take it. My other options are IB anthropology, music, or psychology (none of those classes appeal to me).

Hello! I am looking to do an EE in Geography (I take geo HL), on the topic of gender equality, specifically in India. I have found good preliminary data and statistics that I would like to write about, but since we need to be investigating a question and not a topic, how do I phrase a question that can be answered in 4000 words? I think the gender equality is a large topic, with subtopics such as education, fertility, contraception, cultural prejudices and etc. So if I do a question like 'to what extent is gender inequality present in India?' it is quite difficult to answer. Any he

Hey guys! I’m currently in grade 10 about to apply for IB. I aim to be a medical/law? student and these are the subjects I have chosen so far: English (A) - HL Mando (B) - HL Chem - HL Bio - SL (my school doesn’t allow 2 science HLs) Maths - HL Im unsure of what I should choose for my group 3 subject, my school only offers history in HL so I can’t take it. What would you recommend? Thanks

Ok.... So I am currently in grade 10 thinking of doing HL GEO next year. However I barley have prior knowledge about the subject. I have never taken it in MYP. Will I need to do any catch up before I start DP? Is HL geo that hard? I talked to many grade 12 students and some say it is easy but some say it is difficult. How much is the workload? and Do I need to study much for it?

Hi everyone, Our teacher is asking us to finalize our IA topic and I decided to do something in tourism (in Singapore). So is this topic okay: "How does the number of tourists affect the number of local people in Orchard Road, Singapore?" Is this topic okay? Or too broad? I wanted to do something in tourism, so I was also thinking of a few other topics such as "How does public transport affect the number of tourists in X area"
