there are quite a few. they can range from not having a nice environment to live in, not being too overcrowded, not having endangered species of animals killed and stuff like that :) pretty much anything that doesn't have to do with a growing economy or money
hope this helped :) :)
Because it takes into account of non-material standard of living while GDP per capita only measures the material standard of living. HDI takes into account of Life expectancy, Literacy rate and GDP/capita.
yes... because living things need all non living things like chair, t.v. etc.
As with individuals, nations have different amounts of wealth, and even if the wealth is fairly distributed, there will and is considerable differences in the standards of living among the several hundred nations in the world. As mentioned, regarding fairness of distribution, the standards of living can be different based on non subjective reasons. A nation that is rich in natural resources and can export these as well as use them internally to their best advantage will help lift the standard of living. A nation with a sound economic system will also help its standard of living. Another factor is the education level of a nations citizens. Generally the higher the level the higher the standard of living. A politically stable nation is best for a sound economy. Nations in the midst of civil strife and civil wars hurts its economy and helps lower its standard of living.
GDP can be an unreliable indicator of the standard of living because it does not account for income distribution, meaning it may mask disparities between rich and poor within a country. Additionally, GDP does not consider non-market activities, such as household labor and volunteer work, which contribute to societal well-being. It also overlooks factors like environmental quality and leisure time, which are essential for a high quality of life. Consequently, a high GDP can coexist with low living standards for certain segments of the population.
no. it comes from fossils The first answer is very wrong - Crude oil is a liquid found naturally in rock, containing mostly complex hydrocarbons, with some additional organic material. It is the major fuel used on the planet, and is used in the production of many synthetic materials like plastics as well. It is at this point in time impossible to know the true origins of Crude Oil, so therefor we do no know it it is living or non-living. Water is the same, we do not know it is living or not.
Mainly the United States.
Atoms are found in all material things, living and non-living.
Actually, about 3 countries use non-standard measurements - the SI is the international standard.

A dead animal.
Fingernails are made of a protein called keratin and are considered non-living material, as they do not contain cells or have the ability to grow or repair themselves.
Nature, over and through the Eons, invented Biochemistry. Biochemistry did the rest.
Mass is measured in grams, milligrams, kilograms etc. Mass measurements follow the same laws as the standard (Non-US) measurements for distance.
minerals
A standard form of measurement is one where there is widespread agreement as to its value. A non-standard measurement is one which makes sense to only a small number of people. For example, "as big as my garden" will only make sense to people who know me (or can Google my address).
Plastic is not alive because it does not possess the characteristics of living organisms, such as the ability to grow, reproduce, or respond to stimuli. It is a synthetic material created through chemical processes and does not exhibit any form of biological functions.
Standard measurements are kilogram, meter, liter and second. Non-standard measurements are antique, ancient, archaic units like fathoms, acres, cubits, miles, stones, hundredweights, pounds, pecks, bushels, gills, pints, quarts, gallons which are only of interest to historians.
