The system of the old regime is when France had the feudal system, the 1st Estate, the 2nd Estate, and the 3rd Estate. During the old regime, there was no social mobility amongst the Estates. The King also had absolute power while the three estates had no political power. The 1st Estate were the clergy who were rich and owned a lot of land. The 2nd Estate were the nobles, who also had a lot of land and were rich. The 3rd Estate were the peasants and the commoners, who were poor and had very little land.

What are four ways that development has changed life in the developing world?

sweet-ann [11.9K]

We take 4 'frames' on the meaning of development: economic development, human development, better governance, and environmental sustainability.

Explanation:

Economic development is the process by which emerging economies become advanced economies. In other words, the process by which countries with low living standards become nations with high living standards. Economic development also refers to the process by which the overall health, well-being, and academic level the general population improves.

Human development is defined as the process of enlarging people's freedoms and opportunities and improving their well-being. Human development is about the real freedom ordinary people have to decide who to be, what to do, and how to livE.

Better governance means that processes and institutions produce results that meet the needs of society while making the best use of resources at their disposal. The concept of efficiency in the context of good governance also covers the sustainable use of natural resources and the protection of the environment.

Environmental sustainability is the rates of renewable resource harvest, pollution creation, and non-renewable resource depletion that can be continued indefinitely. If they cannot be continued indefinitely then they are not sustainable.
