Developing Countries

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.

developing countries are defined as poor agricultural country that are seeking to become more advance economically and socially (Webster dictionary ). These countries are usually labelled based on their Gross domestic product( GDP). The GDP measures the value of the economic activity within that country. This can be a good insight to how the citizens of the nations are living by measuring the quality of life, unemployment and how much revenue is coming in from the outer nations. For these nations to fully develop economically and socially, they have to develop politically. This attempt to grow is often shut down due to the lack of a stable economy, exploitation by developed countries and corruption from within their governments. It is evident that in order for developing nations to succeed, the government system has to restructure

Our planet is filled with different countries, who are developed or are developing. What determines whether these countries are developed or developing is the features within, such as health care, the economy, education, crime rate, etc. Developed nations do majority of the time take the trophy in those features. When it comes to the United States, a developed nation, and Haiti, a developing nation, the U.S. is more efficient is health care, economic structure and education than Haiti.

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.

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.

Both developing and developed nations were part of the set. The developed nations consisted of 47% of the total set. We started with 43 nations and dropped a few countries later from the analysis because of missing data.

Throughout the world countries are often characterized as being developed or developing. Two countries that are examples of being developed and developing are the United States and India. This classification of countries is often based on their economic status. Examples of economic categories that differentiate which countries are developed and developing are unemployment levels, living conditions, and economic growth. Despite countries being developed and developing, they all are always trying to improve their economic status. Comparing India and the United States, one can gain a better understanding of the differences of developed and developing countries.

Today in Africa, many things have changed since the decades before us. Especially with dealing with West ignorance toward the sub-Saharan Africa. However, most of the conflict had dealt with geography, politics, religion and an economic perspective. Since, most of all of the options are extremely important. It had affected Africa culture. Not only is just Africa's culture important, but so is everyone else's. Which it made it clear, that something needed to be done. However, what is it that made these four specific explanations make such a disruption between the West and sub-Saharan Africa?

The world is made up of two kinds of countries, there are core countries and there periphery countries. There are also three kinds of people in this world, the countries in which you live in or where you were born, are a big deciding factor in what type of person you are. You are either a global, local, or mobal. The globals typically live in the core countries. Core countries are wealthier countries who provide a platform for success. Some of these countries are The United States, Canada, Australia, and most of Western Europe. A global is somebody who desires fortune and expansion. The opposite of a global is a local. A local is one who most likely lives in a periphery country. Locals don’t normally expand and they see the world as a much larger and scarier place than the globals, because they have less communication with the rest of the world. Locals stay in the location where they were born and raised, and most of the time, they continue what their ancestors have started. The mobals are in between the globals and the locals. The mobals are born and raised in a periphery country, but they make an attempt or take a risk to move to another country. They become immigrants of core countries in search of a better life for them and their families.

The reader must understand that development is not easily defined within comparative politics. The concept of development is complex and can not be explained as simply as black and white. “For example would you say an oil-rich country such as Saudi Arabia is experiencing development if its economy is growing rapidly but nearly all of the benefits of the growth are going to a small number of elite? Would you say that a country is developing if people are

Worldwide, approximately 1.3 billion people do not have access to affordable and efficient healthcare and out of those who have access, almost 170 million are forced to spend around 40 % of their income on medical treatment (Asante et al,2016).In low and middle income countries (LMICs), the major constraint to the access of healthcare is financial burden, where out-of-pocket payments (OPP) contribute to approximately 50 % of total health expenditure (WHO, 2010). As a result, in these countries there is high probability of many households being pushed into poverty due to high medical expenses (McIntyre,2006).The matter of concern in LMICS is that poor and disadvantaged groups of population do not have access to adequate quality of healthcare.For instance, according to WHO (2010) up to 20 % of women in rich population are more likely to have a birth attended by skilled health worker than a poor woman. Therefore, taking an action to address health inequities faced in these countries would save up to 700,000 women.

Development vary among countries based on economic indicators of development, gross domestic product per capita, types of jobs, raw materials, consumer goods, social indicators of development, education and literacy, health and welfare, demographic indicators of development, life expectancy, infant mortality rate, natural increase rate, and crude birth rate. Gross domestic product per capita is more per hour in dollars amount in more developed countries compared to less developed country where it is per hour in cents. Types of jobs can depend on the category you are in since there are three categories, primary which includes agriculture, secondary which includes manufacturing and tertiary which includes services jobs. Raw materials are used from such items as minerals and trees where things like paper are made from wood are more accessible in more developing countries and less accessible in less developing countries because of fallen prices. Consumer goods are based off of our ever day life like cars, telephones/cellphones, and televisions that all play a role in the economic world today.

Since the start of globalization, some countries have become global powers and other have had little influence in global society. Once globalization took place countries got grouped in either first world, second world or third world country. First world countries are countries that are more developed and are capitalist and industrial countries that hold a big place in global trading. Third world countries are under developed and are usually poor and have little power in the global community. This paper is for comparing a first world country in Germany compared to a third world country in Haiti. Comparison of economic, geography, culture, politics and human development will prove the difference between first and third world countries. In the paper it will also discussed reason causing counties to either be first or third world country.

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

The developing nations were often seen as periphery whereas the developed nations are seen as the core. Mainly because the less developed countries were targeted for their resources. Resources, such as, agriculture, tourism, or a place to operate a strategic, military base. All this is just another way of saying that the developed nations were exploiting the developing nations through their people, products and resources both natural and manmade. All that this accomplished was to make the developing nations more wealthy and the developing nations were provided jobs but at the expense of people both local and rural and immigrants in search of jobs that led to over population, lack of housing and shortage of jobs. This of course leads to more problems that the developed nations have experienced and dealt with and have almost succeeded in solving completely but the developing nations have yet to find their own solutions to deal with
