IF today we catch a fish from the nearby pond and give it to a needy person,we would feed him for one time(AID) but if we tell him how to catch this fish(TRADE) then we are feeding him for the whole life.I mean friends we need trade not aid at all.If today we hanker after developed countries for aid somehow in the coming future we would be dominated by them but if we make them our trade partner it will be a good sign for a developing country like India.

China is shining like anything not because it was aided by any country but because it aids even the developed countries by its trade.Friends history is made by the brave person who used to live without any hope of any type of aid,they choosed a self dependent life and in the present scenerio a developing country should be self dependent and it can be possible only by developing a good trade.

Think of it from other perspective. If you ask someone for help(aid) he will be ready to help you once or twice or thrice and then ultimately he will say no to you. Similarly we a developing country can not go to other countries for help always. However if they provide us with some sort of TRADE, then we will not be that much dependent on other countries and it will also help us rise globally and financially.

I think trade is most essential parameter for a developing country. If we become familiar with the trade of super power then in future we can develop ourselves by our own and if we inclined towards aid. If today we hanker after developed countries for aid somehow in the coming future we would be dominated by them. So we need be with trade & should not wait for aid.

Any Economy has to pass through the stages namely, Aggrarian,Manufacturing and Trade. The faster an economy grow from aggrarian to Manufacturing,the more it becomes independent. Globalisation has even sprankled high competition environment in developing countries. Hence to struggle and compete with global standards, our companies/enterprises have to increase the standard/quality of their material and export as much as possible to EU,USA or other countries where the lucrative gains are possible. This is how we save economy. Aid is certainly not an option because its more like Do or Die. Though dying is not an option here really, in case of disasters a country(developed or developing) needs aid from all over the world to sustain. So Trade instead aid.

I agree with my friends that trade is better than aid we are live in developing countries we don't need to aid its true that there is too much poverty but it is not complosory that we need aid we should face problem if we from give other countries aid so is a negative point if we want too reach our country in high level so we should increase trade not aid.

Definitely trade is better than aid as the aids given in form of funds are not utilized properly for development and large sum of money goes inside the pocket of ministers. But with the trade any developing country can be benifited in two ways one it will get money for growth and development and secondly it will abridge the gap between a developing country and developed country.

I think we{developing countries } need aid for us to develop because trade only has failed as many efforts were made. The reason being that that trade is controlled by the developed counties and we have little voice on the exchange rates. Hence trade will produce nothing.

Trade is better than aid because trade improves the efficiency of a country since there are some products which may be being found in the developed countries but not in the developing ones therefore I will go for trade and not aid.

Trade is opportunity for growth. Liberates economy. It Earns on Assets, and will make developers self sufficient and pave way to explore their potential. Aid is an instant remedy. Not cure.

Developing countries definitely needs trade from the neighboring and other developed countries. This helps in increasing the economic conditions and it develops a good bondage between them. One cannot always aid a person so it is better to help him by providing an opportunity to grow.
