Standard 9: The characteristics, distribution, and migration of human populations on Earth's surface.

Standard 11: The patterns and networks of economic interdependence on Earth's surface.

The video program illustrates both the historic and modern migration patterns in Australia and Singapore, and is a study of the patterns of human interaction in the region of Southeast Asia and South Pacific. Mirroring these human networks are the patterns of economic development that both countries are establishing as they evolve to meet the challenges of a global economy.
