Final Thoughts
It is an important thing to remember that countries can be rich or poor for all types of reasons, and the wealth or poverty of a country is never dependent on the worth or even hard work of the people in the nation. Factors such as what types of natural resources have been discovered and traded is a factor. How long the country has been a nation is also a factor. The leadership of the country and how the government works is another important factor. The amount the people are allowed to own businesses, employ others, and use their natural gifts and resources all play a role in this.
If you have been blessed to be born into a nation that is already rich, be grateful! Get involved in getting the right people in office who will continue on with making the nation you are part of wealthier. If you are in this boat, look at the nations who are poorer for what they are. There is no use in shaming, looking down upon, or speaking down to nations who are not as wealthy. What can and should be done is giving of help and hope for those who are not as blessed as you/us.
Thankfully, there are so many ways to help developing nations. We can get involved in it by basic and fun things, such as tourism. Tourism only helps a nations economy! Purchasing locally supports small and large businesses in the nation. Another way is by giving money to projects that have the purpose of helping these nations. Do your research, and then give to those making an impact! These are just a few ways you can help other nations and give back from what you’ve been given to leave an impact on the world.
