How can third world countries prepare for disasters? Living in a big city, my community is funded with federal programs for disaster preparedness, so in the event that something catastrophic like in Haiti happens, we are all prepared on how to handle the situation (we have to in a post-9/11 world) But how can poor countries with no funding and a long history of underdevelopment prepare for the worst? We shouldn't wait until something horrible happens to send troops and massive groups of organizations to other countries and help them when it's too late.

Are the so called first world countries hell bent on converting the third world countries back to atheism? For centuries so called Christian European armies invaded and forced Christianity down the throats of "so called" uncivilized natives of distant lands all around the world. At the same time as religious soldiers were forcing the natives into slavery and stealing their gold, they were accompanied by missionaries who were stealing the natives souls. Nowadays the same is still happening but the reasons have changed. Instead of just stealing Gold we are stealing their Oil their children and natural resources and instead of stealing their souls we are leading them away from Christianity and into atheism because christianity is no longer encouraged or practiced in the sophisticated first world. The old saying "what goes round comes round" is exactly what is happening now, because the so called third world countries are now bringing christianity back to our shores and, thank God for that, Amen.

How much money would be needed to modernize a third world countries economy? I find it very shocking how fast some of these countries economies have grown. The world is changing and it's amazing. There are still a lot of third world countries still though. I was wondering how much investment would be needed to totally modernize a third world countries economy? Let's use Egypt as an example.. Population - 77 million GDP - 470 billion GDP per Cap - 2,450 I find the best way to modernize is built infrastructure and spread education. My guess would be 800 billion to 1 trillion to totally modernize a economy..

Is it possible to rebuild the economic infrastructures of third world countries with foriegn aid? I was watching a tv show about poverty, and the program had a misleading title of "How to change lives" or something to that extent.

In order to actually save people in poverty, what must be done on a economic infrastructure level?

How will the global financial crisis affect people in third world countries? I know people in North America are worried about how it will affect things like the unemployment rate and the real estate market as well as a multitude of other things, but how will it affect people in developing countries?

Do you believe the second world war ended any major future conflicts between western countries? For much of the 18th and 19th centuries, European nations were constantly at war with one another for one reason or another. After the second world war, there hasn't been another military conflict between western, predominantly white nations since. At least not with casualties--no conflicts over territory anymore, no ground battles, naval sea fights, etc. Of course, there was the was the cold war, however no fighting actually took place, obviously. I do believe that WW2 was the war that ended all wars, in the western world that is. All the wars we have seen between then and now have been from third world countries. Do you think now is the time when the powers of the west should destroy the barbaric, third world regimes? Do you believe the savage violence from these developing, backwards countries is a threat to western civilization now that Europe has been at peace for so long? No insults.

There is always a better method of improving the economy because of the process of select or evolution of intelligence of the mind.

Are there any charities for third world countries that have a focus on birth control distribution? Okay, I've been doing some thinking, and it seems to me that one of the best ways to help third world countries in the long term would be distributing birth control. Fewer children in the family would mean less mouths for them to feed, and it would slow down the rapid population growth happening in many countries. Also, more condom usage would help prevent the spread of STDs.

I have even heard of bank tellers being kidnapped and delivery truck drivers.

Why do Americans think third world countries don't have freedom or democracy? That's the biggest joke I've ever heard. Have you people ever been to many third world countries? If you're smart enough, can you really tell me if there are really any differences between those countries and the United States, in terms of political and economic policies? Let me assure you, most third world nation elites would readily support the policies of the Republican party. What does that tell you? We are not as decrepit as many of these third world nations. However, if we continue along the path we are on and support, we will get there soon!

Compared to America where only about 10% of the women are attractive, and they usually come from 3rd world countries like the Philippines. I mean they weren't fat like American women, they don't age as badly, they smell better, and they aren't as loose as American women. Any other notice this?

Who should speak out for the victims of capitalism in 3rd world countries? Certainly not middle class Americans or Europeans. They're too content with their materialistic pursuits to realize the extent that their governments and multinationals and organizations like the IMF and World Bank etc are contributing to the poverty in 3rd world countries. IT IS DIRECTLY A RESULT OF AN INEFFICIENT ECONOMIC SYSTEM. It 's the result of colonization and the policies of the 1st world that wrecked their local economies and prevented them from growing because they're exploiting them. Look at the abundance of crap in the US and many European countries. Look at the cheap goods that we can buy. It's because people in Indonesia or Bangladesh or whatever are busy slaving away for pennies. It's not a fair trade when we're taking advantage of them from the start of colonization to modern imperialism. Who speaks out for these people who have no voice? Are we too content with the status quo to demand change?

What is the solution for 3rd world countries that don't want to against tradition and be modernize? Most 3rd world countries, espicially in Africa, do not want to give up the traditional ways of herding farming for a better more efiicient ways to modernize. It seem that these countries are set back by these old minded people that still belive you can sustain a country by using traditional means of farming and law making. when they fail to relize that the reason human beings are dominant is because they adapt to their environment, and with technology flying past us everyday, going back to traditional ways will only doom you.

Why does the world not uderstand many of the third world countries would be colonies without our help? After both world wars the United States pushed to end the colonialism of the then major powers. Through decades we have given foreign aid to small countries to improve their life standards so why should we now contribute to them for the pollution? The United states produced the goods to set the world free from both the Nazi and Socialist domination, not to mention the Japanese aggression. I guess that doesn't mean anything but it does to me.

According to Darwinism, are people from third world countries superior? In third world countries you have much less police protection so people are killing each other more often, thus speeding up the process of survival of the fittest. According to Darwinism you will be getting a stronger population faster. So those Americans who are from the third world are superior than Americans who have been living here for generations.

Do you think about the 3rd world countries when eating? People ask vegetarians and vegans if they think about the 3rd world countries when they eat, and I'm not sure if anyone else does, But I certainly do. Cause I know that if people stopped demanding as much meat as they do, then all the grains and food given to the animals to eat, and most are suitable for humans to eat too, then we would be able to send all the extra food to third world countries. I mean I'm not saying anything bad its just that if nobody ate meat, or at least cut down on meat, then world hunger would end. && Also Like. If nobody ate meat then the oil in the world would last 260 years longer. So jaa. Whatever. Thats all I have to say. Well why waste it? I mean only the idiots would do that, no?

Out of all the countries in this world, which do you feel is the most progressive and why? I do not want to hear the answers of "this country because it is" type answers... I'll give you which one I think is. I think that Ireland is one of the most progressive countries because it has come from the status of being a "third world" country to one of the most progressive counties in the European Union and in the world. Once Northern Ireland joins their political and way of life, they'll probably be better off than the US is. ooo I must be a communist for not believing in the US, parish the thought. I'm sorry but I've seen a bit of this world and that's why I pose the question, not to throw a biased USA rant.. I spent time with the foreign affairs in Ireland about the movements that Ireland is doing to get Northern Ireland up to their standards and it is do-able. As of now, the UK does not see any reason why to keep Northern Ireland as its only bringing down their economy.
