Question
Chapter 3, Problem 8E.2RQ
Summary Introduction
To describe: Whether the simple staining techniques can be used to identify more than the morphological characteristics of microorganisms.
Introduction: Bacteria are the unicellular prokaryotic organisms that maintain a definite shape since it contains the rigid cell wall. It is classified into different types based on the structure namely coccus (spherical shaped), Bacillus (rod shaped), filamentous, spirilla (spiral shaped), appendaged, and pleomorphic bacteria. The structure and size of the bacteria can be viewed under the microscope using the staining methods.

Read one the attached article and explore the Human Development Index
(https://hdr.undp.org/data-center/human-development-index#/indicies/HDI).
In your opinion, is the Human Development Index a good measure of the well-
being of the people of a nation? Are the items measured in the HDI valid and
relevant in the modern global economy? How are they related to the political
economy of a nation?
The attached articles propose some alternative measures of well-being. In your
opinion, are there other measures of well-being that might be better alternatives
to the items in the current HDI?
