Third World Dependency on First World

ECONOMIC GROWTH A COMPELLING MOTIVE TO DEPENDENCY Is third universe of discourse habituation on First mankind development, practices, and funding avoidable? By Michael John A. San Roque ABS681M G01 Submitted to Dr. Ma. Elena Chiong-Javier October 9, 2012 Countries of the realism have been sharply divided along development. Countries that ar economically buoyant, technologically advanced, and politically stable are termed Developed Countries or First World.On the other hand, countries that are technically and economically backward and are institution markets suppliers of primary commodities are tagged maturation Countries or commonly referred to as tierce World (Aluko & Arowolo, 2010). During the post-world war and until now, Third World countries depend greatly on First World in order to restore and improve their agricultural, technological, political, and economic conditions which are apparently know as development (Patterson, 1999).This development has connoted at lea st one affair to escape from the undignified condition called underdevelopment (Esteva, 1992). No country would say that she doesnt want development to occur in her lands. Third World countries are nothing that wants to be something. It is, therefore, proper to say that Third World addiction on First World development, practices, and funding is not avoidable. This paper would picture the evidences that would give the above notion.The evidences are based on the inevitable support given by Developed Countries in the form of alien aid, technological, political, and economic increase that the needy countries lack. Foreign Aid Foreign aid has suffer a focus and locus in the Third World. The Developing Countries are experiencing the different facets of development problems. First World countries offer aid finished and through investment in the economy of the needy countries, loans, infrastructural development, funding of poverty-reduction programs, and also through supply of milita ry hardware at subsidised rates.One of the best examples of how a needy economy was not able to refuse a foreign aid was when the US created the TheMarshall Plan(officially known as theEuropean Recovery Program,ERP) that aidedEuropewhere the linked Statesgave monetary support to stand by rebuild European economies after the end ofWorld War II. That cursorily revived and integrated European economies into the global economy (Remenyi, 2004). Technology exaltation Third Worlds desire to minimize or use up the gap that separates their economy to that of the First World makes them receptive to whatever the last mentioned does in order to advance its economy.One thing that Developed Countries have is their sophisticate technology that contributed much to the development of their industrial and agricultural sectors (Remenyi, 2004). The empirical abridgment has also shown that the technological capability of the five richest countries in the world is well-nigh 13 times better than that of the five miserableest. This technological progress magnetizes the poor countries and makes them realized that if they really want to enjoy the perks of development, they must adopt the advancement in technology of the rich countries (Nazara, 2000).The importance of technology in the industrializing Indonesias economic development has been well established. In the era of East-Asia Miracle, the country was regarded as one of the eight economies in the region whose economic growth was founded on technical progress (World Bank, 1994). Political Ideologies The last factor that fosters inevitable dependency of Developing Countries to Developed Countries is their outstanding and influential political ideologies. The world has seen how the tenuous governance and political principles brought prosperous economy to rich countries especially the United States.The liberation of countries political mind has been necessary to break the chains of underdevelopment. This has become the stimulu s for the poor countries to shift from tribal forms of authority to suffrage, political parties, choose representatives, and democratization. It also paved the way for the adoption of the policy- reservation strategies, economic-boosting techniques, and the integration of Third World countries to global economy (So, 2011) dependency Contemporary Way to economic DevelopmentThe dependency of underdeveloped countries and domination of the developed ones are reinforced as the Third World states attempt to expand their economies (Patterson,1999). In pursuit of this endeavor, the Developing Countries has opened their hands to aid, practices, and ideologies that the economically, politically, and technologically successful countries are offering making Third World dependency unavoidable.
