Developing Countries 's Basic Survival Issues

1. The difference between a developing and a developed country are typically based on economics. A developing country usually has a low level of affluent citizens, and higher levels of unemployment. Developing countries also have lower education rates, and often times undeveloped, rural type villages. Developed countries usually have technological advantages, better roads, stable governments, higher education rates, and good health care.

The United States today is known as an industrialized nation. This means that we have a high standard of living. However, there are many countries that do not have a high standard of living and they are called developing nations. Many things could keep them from becoming a developed nation such as no international trade, lack of factories, and a lack of tariffs.

First, I will explain the role of empowered institutions and countries in limiting the economic activities of developing countries, impeding on their ability to survive. Afterwards I will explain the obligation people in privileged positions have to improve the lives of those in compromised positions, at a certain degree of self-sacrifices. Finally, I will critically analyze and disprove the counter argument, which attempts to relieve us of the aforementioned duties, by discrediting the roles of institutions and developed countries in the prolongation of impoverishment.

The lifeblood of these regimes is the dissatisfied citizens, the unimpressed masses who desire revolution and freedom from poverty, which is propogated to have risen out of Capitalist involvement in the Americas. Capitalist economies, on the other hand, believe that it has nothing to do with their involvement and instead sees these stages of development as natural, something that every economy will go through, if they have not already. Despite the appeal, it is untrue to say that every developed nation has gone through stages of development that todays underdeveloped nations are going through. As Andre Gunder Frank puts it “the now developed countries were never underdeveloped, though they may have been undeveloped” (104). This goes to show that the playing field was not even for all, and that today's developing nations had a headstart in developing.

The BRICS as developing countries have more recently industrialized than developed ones, however they are considered to be emerging economically at a very fast rate along with having a growing impact and weight on the international scale. Nevertheless, those countries are highly vulnerable and affected by poverty and inequalities, jeopardizing their capacity to have some sort of control in global institutions (Miles Kahler, 2013, page 721). Some of the most important issues developing countries encounter, slowing down their growths are related to poverty along with inequality. This is the reason why certain worldwide institutions such as the World Bank set objectives, in an attempt to lift people out of poverty and decrease inequalities among

Why is it that some countries are classified as developed and others not? What is the criteria used to determine this? Some people believe that within the criteria to evaluate a country’s development, democracy and economic development must be taken into consideration, and that a link exists between them. Democracy can be defined as a form of government in which people choose their leaders by voting, it also implies equal rights and treatment. (Merriam Webster n.d.) By the other hand, economic development can be defined as the progress in an economy referring to an improvement of living standards, the adoption of new technologies and the transition form an agricultural to an industrial based economy. (Business Dictionary n.d.)

The Bottom Billion by Paul Collier discusses why the poorest countries are failing and then offers some insights and solutions to the problem. He says the four major problems in developing nations are: conflict, natural resources, bad neighbors, and bad governments. The conflicts are usually civil wars which have huge costs and the situation just becomes worse the longer the conflicts drag on. Collier states that countries rich in natural resources are often worse off than countries that are not, he attributes this problem to several different factors. One of the factors is that the resources open the possibility for conflict over the resources. Another factor is that if a country strictly focuses it’s on a specific natural resource then the other resources and industries might get forgotten and lose value. Being landlocked with bad neighbors can also be a large problem because it makes it almost impossible to be a part of world trade, so these landlocked countries have to depend on their neighbors for most of the trade and materials. A bad government can also be very destructive to a country’s economy, if they create unreasonable and restrictive policies. The smaller countries are also at a disadvantage because it is hard for them to get any investors, because the investors would much rather invest in well-known countries like India or China. After Collier stated all the problems he also offered up some possible solutions. He believed that aid agencies should concentrate

Developing nations are filled with hope and aspirations of one day becoming a wealthy, dominating, and influential country. These nations can sometimes be unsafe, difficult to live in, and hard for workers to earn good compensation for their labor. On the other hand, living in a developed nation has many upsides. Developed nations are wealthy, which in turn have good infrastructure, labor and worker laws, and have less crime.

Lesser develop countries are known for have a largest poverty in their country and to lack on technology advancement. Therefore, one solution that has come up from the United Nation has be an economy focus plan toward poverty and push technology as a non-concern to them. In do so most lesser developed countries will get official development assistance where development partners will help them by solely making foreign direct investment and liberalizing their trade and fiscal policies but this is not good enough as the article, Break the Vicious Circle, goes to state that “solely focusing on the economic dimension does not suffice in order to achieve sustainable development” (Sütçü); therefore, this official development assistance should make more of a balance between economic and technology to better assist lesser develop countries and

Development is defined as “the process of change operating over time- the process by which countries and societies advance and become richer’’. The modern 20th century defines development as” the process of change which allows all the basic needs of a region to be met, thereby achieving greater social justice and quality of life and encouraging people to fulfill their potential’’. Todaro defines development as “the process of improving the quality of all human lives through raising people’s living standards, their incomes, consumption levels of food, medical services, education, raising people’s self-esteem through the establishment of social, political and economic systems and institutions that promote dignity and respect and increasing people’s

Lack of development in countries in the so-called `Third World' has many political and economical reasons. Historians explain the inadequacy of developing countries with the early imperialism and the resulting colonization of the South. Exploitation of mineral resources, deforestation, slavery, and the adaptation of foreign policies shaped the picture of today's suffering and struggling civilizations and natural rich continents. The omission of concessions and equal negotiations between dependency and supremacy give rise to the contrast of enormous resources and immense poverty in developing countries is. In the last years the outcry of justice and the emancipation of the Third World became louder throughout developing and industrialized

An excessive development problem is facing numerous nations around the world; these problems are directly related to the developing countries increasing stages of poverty and income inequality. In the 1960s and the 1970s, economic growth was understood for decreasing poverty. The different governments have the ability to further the process towards a “free market type economy” accomplishing economic growth. According to “The woes of economic reform: poverty and income inequality in Fiji” the influences of “economic structural adjustment policies (SAPs)” are the controversy of society today involving poverty and inequality. The poverty level has gone up severely in countless developing countries including Fiji. The process of free market

Many people confuse the term of developing nation and third world country. Some countries have a more developed economic system, but that does not mean it is a third world country. Other people try to use these terms as a ranking scheme for the states of developing countries according to the One World Nations page. The web page dictionary.com describes a third world country as “country is a country in which the predominant culture and society is made up of mostly minority groups and where poverty is abundant”. The only difference between a developing country and a third world country is the ability or the chance the country has to come up from the economic instability they are in. An example of a developing country is

Developing countries may have difficulties in construe the substantive provisions of TRIPS when exploiting TRIPS flexibilities. For instance, article 14 of Brazil 's Industrial Property Law distinguishes less inventive inventions applying a utility model from the “unusual” inventions. The test of inventive step is the “common or usual manner” test, instructing examination should be observed from the view of a person skilled in the art. This provision intends to identify the inventions eligible only for utility model protection from those eligible for both utility model and patent protection. Nevertheless, Dr. Romandini indicates that “the German legislature in 1978 finally abandoned it without significant opposition in the
