To me, I believe that prosperity in first world countries is leading to poverty in third world countries.

We, the Indians and the other 3rd world countries have often been exploited by the 1st world countries. Moreover, there are reasons also to support the fact. We don't have that infrastructure or resources that the 1st world are providing to the talented people, which is in turn resulting into brain-drain. Indians are moving abroad, because they are getting proper work space, better environment, which the 3rd world is not being able to provide.

But, this prosperity factor of the 1st world is not the only reason behind the poverty in 3rd world countries, its our responsibility towards the Nation to take it higher and higher. The need of the hour is proper Leadership, proper Awareness. People, if they start thinking of the Nation first rather than himself/herself, it would not only benefit the Country but also us. Self-centered attitude must be changed.

Cant we give our Country our efforts when it needs it? It has given us Everything we needed!

The need of the hour is to come up with solutions, I am optimistic that the 3rd world countries will overcome this poverty and emerge victorious one day.

I am not agree with those people who said poverty in third world countries is due to prosperity of first world countries. I will give you some logic, if someone else crack in board exam we never say he/she is responsible for those people who are failed in exam.

They failed because they are not concentrate their own education.

We Indians are responsible for undeveloped India.

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.

If you just think about it for a minute or so, the statement holds some weight but depends on how one argues it out. When you think of the idea of the first world countries getting most if not all of their raw materials from such countries. In the same process they put on leaders they can manipulate and control to carry out their directives. In the same concept as causing communities to war so that they can intervene and reap the spoils of war? Survival for the fittest!

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.

I suppose this is a fact. Most intelligent and learned people of 3rd countries are found in 1st countries. They find less or no time to work for their motherland. You also realise that only people with sound mind are the most beneficiaries of Green cards and alike.

It is not because of the 1st world countries that they are growing prosperous each and every day. It is really because of the our intelligent geeks, the 3rd world country people forgetting their own country's development and bothering just about their luxurious lives and spending their brains for the development of the people who pay them. People should really start working for their country and take it to greater heights rather than running crazy behind developed countries.

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.

Why we can blame other why we can not see our self? That's the major problem of 3rd world countries people. They don't think all problem we are facing that is that is not created by other we can generate this problem. By using the our home product we can improve our country but we can't use it. We are afraid of other how they think about me and what is he/she will tell to me? so grow up and improve our self or country.

I am rather diplomatic and would speak both for and against the topic.

For the topic.

In terms of economy, a country like India purely rely on the huge sum of money poured by the developed countries for the upliftment of their emerging markets known as quantitative easing(QE). The continuous threats regarding the tapering of QE triggers a sense of fear and makes Indian economy volatile and unstable.

Secondly, the high standard of living, lucrative pay scale and other perks leads to brain drain.

Thirdly, the museums over there are still embellished with Indian assets, artifacts and gemstones all which were once the pride or our kings. This reminds us, time and again, the plight of Indians during British raj, which still has traces on Indian economy and living style.

Against the motion.

Exports and imports of goods, exchange of ideas, advancements in technology, globalization liberalization had in a way a big hand in improving the plight of Indians. When Indian students go to foreign countries and bring about a revolution here by serving India it helps even overcome the limitations of education system here. At the time of any calamity. The whole world comes up and stands in the support to provide any kind of help in terms of money, food grains or boosting the morale. Had India been a closed economy, it would had failed to improve.
