This is a good point that a lot of people sometimes forget. We should help countries that want our help, but at the same time it is not our job to try and make every country like us. Some countries function differently. And if the people are ok with it that way, then maybe that is ok for them.
This topic is one of internal conflict for me at times because I believe that Theocratic countries that are underdeveloped right now will never be able to develop fully in the western sense of the word. But maybe they don't need to, maybe they like the way things are. I don't know, sorry about rambling for a bit there.
- terrykohla 14y agoThere is a whole moral debate around the words "good" and "bad"; and I think that words like "developed" and "growth" have to be weighed in that sense. "Developed" might mean better quality of life, but it could also mean pollution,noise, stress, depression and dehumanization. To whoever wants to change the world I recommend to start by changing their own back yard. There are enough challenges in developed countries as it is, "underdeveloped" countries are facing their own challenges. Travel the world and you'll find problems and solutions, listen to the media and you'll be a blind man serving someone else's interest.
