How can someone think of the society when their households, their own families are in a critical financial situation. Imagine the life of a child who studies in poverty all through his student life, devoid of any support from the government gets into a good engineering college, his parents cut costs from their basic amenities and arrange the college fees and he manages to be placed in an MNC. That day will he step back from that offer if his country's government and companies don't value his talent, don't provide the infrastructure he dreamt of working?

He might come back to his country and develop his own firm once he becomes enough bank balance to develop one.

So, the responsibility of development of third world countries rests on the shoulders of people who have been appointed public posts, the ministers and ministries, students shouldn't be blamed for reaching out to the appropriate workplaces.

I agree with this statement. I'm surprised so many are against it. While its true that the fact that the most educated of people from the third world countries living in developed countries is an issue that makes it difficult for these developing countries to get on their feet, we should not forget why these countries are in poverty in the first place.

Most inequality today is due to the colonialism of the European empires of old that conquered most of the known world and used other countries' resources for the benefit of their motherlands. So even though these developing countries have their independence today, they are at a major economic disadvantage. Its extremely difficult to win in a race when others have such a head start.

Regardless, I hope these developing countries catch up someday, but I only see that happening if developed countries start making some sacrifices.

Poverty in 3rd world country is not due to prosperity in 1st world countries. 1st world countries could use its resources manpower and could adapt to world class technologies thus they could progress in this competitive age. Whereas 3rd world countries could not adapt to these factors. Its trade framework infrastructure even govt is not able to mould itself into newness. 3rd world countries like Africa in spite of being resourceful is down with poverty cause the people of the nation are lax towards developing their lives. The govt is dependant on foreign aid and gets debt ridden in due course. Education ease of doing business liberal govt policies all need a reform to drive a poverty ridden country out of the mould and walk towards prosperity. Thank you.

My views on this statement are somewhat in the midway. First of all, initially the "first world countries" have gained this tag because the development began for them at a very initial stage. They could utilize their resources, labour and capital in an efficient manner at a point of time when other countries did not even have thought of it.

By the time these giants were developed and self sufficed, the awareness in the "third development countries" was in a premature state. Hence, the economy of the latter could not compete with that of the former. This led to decrease in value of the money for underdeveloped or developing nations. And the growth is felt at a very slower pace than the developed ones.

Hence, the poverty exists due to both the reasons.

Hi Friends, According to me a country can develop only because of their self recognition. We shouldn't blame others for that. We have seen some time people who are physically strong are begging on streets who are capable to do work and earn money. They are begging because they don't want to do work. In last 65 years after independence we growth good in every field but we should take Singapore and japan as inspiration to grow. In japan we have seen last year tsunami had come but they wouldn't stop to work. In whole world people are generally using made in china things because in china every person is hard worker everyone just think for their country growth. We can do something to ourselves for our company growth.

I think there are plenty of reason to remain developing country not a developed country. As our people are not interested to think different and form a unique mind which can bring a good effort to our country. Like A P J ABDUL KALAM AJAD who is a inspiring people to us who also suffered poverty but became a Indian idol. We just fascinating ourselves by doing some crazy thing. Indian peoples are most emotional. They just adopt the foreign fashion and modelling but not their rules and regulation. Foreigner also enjoy their life but they not forget their commitment what they promised, they think different in scientific way. If this proceed so Indian will remain developing country never the developed country.

First world countries had colonies in third world countries in the past. During their rule, resources in third world countries were exploited, wealth was taken away and pushed the countries into poverty. The impact of it is still seen today but it would be unfair to blame them for something done in the past. They left the countries long ago and they were the ones who built industries and better transportation systems in the third world countries. This helped boost economies. The poverty faced by third world countries is due to illiteracy, lack of awareness, internal disputes and unskilled labor. These issues weren't addressed for a very long time and resulted in their present state.

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 groups 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.

Looting of our believing on perfection of means gold and diamond which was a representational believe was converted into a parallel paper money system by making a few of indians to make them belief by enabling through employed clerks and converting kings into samants and finally loot of the actual.

Loot of precious gold and diamond and because of which there is a relative imbalance of value representation materials to only make few to possess the inherent items and I Think the world wars are results of these culprit misuses of names of business means to interfere into internal matters which is a pakka example which west has left on our head as a big burden.
