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

I think that the statement was true to some extent.Because if we looked out in developed countries they are spending lots and lots of money lavishly for thier own enjoyment. while at other part people are struggling to meet thier basic needs.we must think why these difference arises?? Both are borned empty handded..but one is enjoying immense pleasure of life and other one is struggling all over the life.According to my point of view this is due to the person who is enjoying others resources....

I don't think so thonk so that this is a true statement because if a country has prosperity it means it has the ability to do something. If talk about poverty which is different thing because poverty is due to country imbalance in economic growth and in this poverty is emmense and we don't do anything.

I think government must play a big role in putting its country on top. After all the rights an duties lie wit them. They have the power to mould each sector, so power lies with them. It really makes no sense to blame the first world countries for the poverty prevailing in third world countries. So stop blaming and start acting. Govt should make amendments, stop corruption and other activities that brings us DOWN!.

I accept it because most of the first class countries are trying to improve only their needs they don't make a look to other if they look what is the use means because their are placed first then they could progress other third class countries if this can be taken into a note there will won't be any third class prosperity.

For my point of view i think developing country strugle own self first,in every place goverment point of view as well as public,govt play own role which they can do for their nation like education, health,feed,dress,houses as wll as justice and in public every person play role which he can do, if you did so than first world country bound to establish the relations with yoy.(thanks)

I think its not true statement because the prosperity in first world countries is due to the effective policies, innovation, improved technology etc by the govt, so why we blame first world countries for poverty in thirld world countries,

The disparity between the 1st world and the 3rd world countries are mainly because of the difference in Governance. The population density in third world is taken as a curse instead of mobilising the huge potential of this rare resource which are dreams in developed nations. Instead of providing infrastructure at the home, the Governments of 3rdworld beg or purchase comforts from richer ones making them further rich at the cost of the scarce resources they have. After all the 1st world have treaded to the height after much strugle. The people at the helm of affairs in the under developed states must pririties for their requirements of their nation and recognise the strength available in their self to advance inch by inch so that they really progress. All adversities, in whatever form has its own merits too. It is left to us whether to sit complacent carrying heartborn or to act first to win the race. In summing up let us not agree to the statement.

I disagree with the statement because if poverty is serious in my country then its my responsible, its all citizens resposibility to eradicte which is possible by creating sound environment, like uncurrupt politicians, beaurocrater and patriotic citizen.

Hello everyone. I don't think that poverty in third country is because of prosperity in first country.

Because we cannot always blame others for our Faliure. This would simply mean that we are loosing our cool by looking at the rich or developed countries. Those first countries are prosperous because of their government policies in terms of globalisation, dmestic affairs & most important people of that citizen obey the mandatory rules for their upliftment. So we cannot always think he/she is responsible for my nil or poor results.

India belongs to third world. Around many years ago it used to be called as "Bird Of Gold". But then around 16th century, it started becoming victim of western countries which were poorer or average by that time. First they started making business and then they started interfering in the politics also which ultimately made India their slave for 200 years. In this time period they exploited India in every aspect mostly in materialism. When they left India, there was nothing to eat also for even a average person. So till certain extent we can blame them.

But it doesnt mean that they are the only culprits as we know that they have made lots of good differences to Indian society. After Independence we got 65 years to develop ourselves. But what did we do in these years. Did we make any remarkable change?Some people will say yes as now India is technically, financialy and economically growing. It does have increased its rate in education also. But then why still in third world!Answer is lack of good leadership, lack of responsible people, carelessness, Lack of awareness etc. People in India just think at the personal level not at the national level. Everybody is busy in making crores of money. E. G. They just want to clean their surroundings and throwing dirt at other people surroundings. Take the example of singapore. It is the world's smallest and very well developed country. It is surrounded by water from all sides. But still it cleared all the geographical barriers. Take the example of Japan. After Hiroshima and Nagasaki event, it was told by experts that leave human species, it is not possible even for an insect to survive over there. But today as we can see it is technologically and economically advanced country. Forget about 60-70 years, recently almost 1 year ago japan suffered from tsunami and nuclear reactor event. Still it didn't stop and instead of asking for help to other countries, it recovered itself.

There are lots of nations which has the stories of other nations which set an inspiration to us. Did we make any inspiration to other?

So it just depends on the mentality of people of that nation. How are they going to face challenge set in front of them?
