It's important to know about standard of living so you can what it's like where other people live and understand their situation. Also, it's good to understand your own standard of living. If you know you're living in a more developed country, you should realize that. You should realize that you don't need to get all the tv’s and fancy stuff to live. You should realize that there are other people in the world not living as nice as you. You don't want to be greedy and take everything all for yourself. There's other people who need that stuff and could use it.
The 5 themes of geography can be used in connection with standard of living. Place talks about what it's like a location. If you live somewhere very developed with factories, good farm land, water access etc. then you would be more likely to have a high standard of living. If you live somewhere that's very dry, hot or cold, and not good for growing and producing food and other goods, then you would most likely have a low standard of living. Movement also plays a big role. If there is a lot of movement of goods then there would be lots of trade which can help raise the country's GDP and GDP per capita and the countries standard of living. If there's little movement of goods the country would have little trade. Human environment interactions play a big part as well. If people properly use the environment, then they can get lots out of it. But if they don't use it properly and live in a bad environment the standard of living could drop. People also have to learn to change and adapt to the environment. If they can't learn to change or adapt then they will struggle to meet basic needs and struggle with their standard of living.
