Poverty in Third World Countries is due to Prosperity in First World Countries

I don't think its a true statement, as the 1st world countries are the ones that are developing. And with their help and guidance, maybe direct or indirect, the 3rd world countries can progress, otherwise there is no chance that these poor countries come ahead on their own.

Me too. I think that even though 1st world countries are rich and more civilized because they deserve with that in terms of all fields in human life. It would be unreasonable if so that they take place of the third world countries. They are the strong spur to make our world move forward.

Friends, LASKI once said that I didn't have right to eat cake if his neighbor went bed without having a piece of bread. This sows in somewhat we are related to all people who are in this world. Those who are in list of developed had somehow got from other country for example what is england is today it is because of colonialism in which they looted countries like India.

So in my opinion their prosperity in some how is related with d misery of poor countries.

According to my opinion this statement is not true because any country that is developed is due to its own effort and devotion of their citizens towards their country and condition of any country depends on their resources, government. We can take ex. Of India in which corruption is at its zenith.

The 1st world countries make efforts to turn down 3rd world countries. The organizations like Black waters working with the help of US is an example.

I don't think that first worlds have something to do with the poverty prevalence in third worlds. I mean, we see how people from third worlds study in institutions of the first worlds in order to acquire knowledge. But do you think that all of them goes back to help their countries? I don't think so. They just disappear like they don't even exist. SOME may have come back, but not ALL. They prefer living in developed countries because of practicality issues. I mean, who would ever like to live in underdeveloped countries? let's face it. First worlds have nothing to do with third worlds' poverty.

Hello friends,

Well 3rd world countries what they really need right now is a a continent with sound medical and engineering services, proper infrastructure, proper government (avoiding civil wars like somalia) for their citizens because only a safe and sound mind, calm and composed not solitary perhaps they need foreign support, but I will say let them solve their issues on their own. Interfering within might create gropus of countries like china supporting pakistan and bla bla so what I say is let them be on their own for a moment, make them realize what they lack and guide them properly with aids so that their can be a balance in world and no stomach sleeps in hunger.

I think that the problem faced by third world countries are made by their own political structure. So first the government should be take the initiative to make their country as a developed one. First they point on the education. Then only they can grown beyond the world. So first avoid the civil wars and the fruitless activities.

To be candid and fair to a certain degree, it can be argued that poverty and misery so prevalent in the third world especially in Africa has contributed in part to the prosperity of the developed world especially the western world-dont forget the Pareto philosophy-for someone to be up, the other person must be down. Colonialism and the slave trade should not be soft-pedaled. They greatly hampered and are still haunting the full development of the African economies.

Lets not forget unfair trade practices and protectionism by western governments to their local farmers and tools of neo-colonialism like the world bank and IMF used to indirectly control african governments. However african leaders have also failed their own people woefully. Instead of building strong institutions and a vibrant private sector that creates wealth for the country, they concentrate their efforts on holding on to power at all costs.

That is why corruption; mismanagement of state funds, nepotism; and embezzlement all bedevil most african countries. The way forward is changing our mentality, building strong institutions and investing in education especially scientific research and technology.
