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.

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!

Actually, I don't agree with this statement. A country can develop only because of their self recognition and efforts. It also depends on the citizens of the country. Main reasons are, corruption and lack of responsibility of citizens.

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.

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.

Every person submitted what he/she sees the Poverty in Third World Countries. I would to ask one question, who has given or named the poverty countries' 'third world countries' it is not true to say third world countries because they'll lead the western countries who are now prosperity once and they'll beg. The problem is big countries interfere poor countries, if they get-rid interfering they'll be the richest and everyone may search a job in this year’s happened when most of the Europeans came to Africa. The First World Countries will became poor as same experts told 2070.

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.

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.
