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

Poverty comes because of less revenue from country point of view and no income source from individuals point of view. If 3rd world country people can produce good product for all the aspect to fulfill our basic requirement then much revenue will come and that money will not go outside their country.

For example middle class people usually use DELLs laptop, Samsung smartphone or philips TV and many more. So those foreign companies are taking revenue by selling all those products.

This is one aspect. In another aspect our politician are looting large amount of money From govt fund and keeping it to foreign bank for privacy. So in that case foreign govt is becoming reacher. Like that so many aspect is there which makes 3rd world Country poorer.

So instead of blaming others first make sure you are buying Indian products, giving income tax to the govt (if employee) because if individuals think about the country then only one day impossible may be possible.

With respect to all, 1st world countries are developed but HOW? Due to their own creativity and labour. We are in a developing country named INDIA. Yes, we can also improve, we can also progress our nation by developing ourselves. Look, my English is very poor, yes it is. But I can't blame to my teachers for that. I can struggle my self to improve. Likewise our nation is also undeveloped, so we can do such great things to develop it. I think developed countries like USA, JAPAN etc are not responsible for that.

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.

According to me this statement is not true. Prosperity of a nation depends upon its citizens, upon their seriousness towards the adoption of the rules implemented by the country's government and by the hard work of the citizens in which they contribute a lot towards the national income of the country.

First world countries have become developed because of their citizens who possessed all these qualities but in third world countries, lack of these qualities is responsible for lack of prosperity in these countries.

THANK YOU.

Hai friends,

As everyone said that among all the countries India is a third country for poverty.

I agree with you and I add some more points to you those are first poverty start by ours only because of for example we can take 3 persons who are traveling in one bike then the police man stop that bike then those people are give 500 to that police and go. That means the poverty start from ours only. To reduce the poverty in our country we can reduce by ours only.

REDUCE POVERTY SAVE OUR COUNTRY thanks for giving this topic for discussing.

Hi,

In my opinion it is not a true statement because the prosperity depends on one's manpower and the ability to do the work. India though it is a third world country ie developing country is not like that. In India also many people work hard for the development of themselves and the nation also. If the prosperity is there in the first world countries it means it is due to their team work and their ability.

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.

I do think that it is 1st world countries faults that 3rd world countries are in poverty because even though you might say that they aren't the only reason 3rd world countries are underdeveloped is not because they had a late start in development, its because no other countries are helping them develop on a big scale. Think about it, the USA would not be so developed if only the English did it by themselves, no, the USA is so developed because people from other countries came to the USA and started to live and work there, which increases development.

But do you see any Americans or Chinese or Japanese going over to Africa or India on a large scale and living there? No you don't, and that is why there is so little development, because people with experience and those who could help the country in a whole do not move to those countries, and if they do, its not enough.

The problem is not that the locals to the country are under educated, its true that they are, but that is not how to fix the problem, as I said we need to have a large scale of people with experience move there and start helping with food, engineering, water, money, clean air, and of course development.

Hi friends.

In my opinion, I do not support the statement because main reasons for any poverty nation are quality education and hard working, so we have to improve our skills is very important, if all the persons have quality education automatically employment is generated, that time no one chooses to go to other countries for employment.

The one with the bike issue. Giving money to the police. It's like the cross elasticity demand graph (no connection) to the topic. It is true that India or any other third world country for that matter is underdeveloped because of the first world, mainly our big brother USA. According to the third world theory, the colonialists have always tried to take our resources and never let us develop. They same happens even today but it's latent. Almost all of the international organisations are dominated by USA, so its obvious whatever decisions are made are backed by the interests of that one country. Even if we are the member we actually have no say. Given the World trade center, most of the trade terms benefit America. USA forbids us to give subsidies to farmers but they are the ones giving the maximum of subsidies to their own farmers. As a result, they are able to dump goods in our country and we import them at higher prices. This definitely does not benefit us. Moreover, it's our fault. As long as we have domestic problems the more these countries will feed on those problems. Reservation policy has become so strict all the deserved find it better to go and work for a different country. Globalisation age has brought in greater connectivity. So we can even stay at our place and work for a US company. This may seem a high development trend but we are actually working for a foreign country and contributing to their development. Even if we get jobs and get a bit of the taste of growth but this is the fact.
