no because it makes them fatter
They do give to Third World countries. Keep in mind the First World countries also have their own needs to take care of, and the corruption which runs rampant throughout most of the Third World has caused a good portion of the contributions made by the rest of the world to vanish and reappear as lavish homes occupied by the leaders of those Third World countries.
Its brings investment (even for cheap labour)
Countries in the EU are modern countries and so they are capable of producing a lot of food. Some are not as good as others, but none are like third world countries.
No, Ireland is very much a 1st world country, with good infrastructure, a sound manufacturing base, an excellent education system, an adequate health service, good old age allowances and provision etc, but we are up to our eyes in debt caused by reckless banking practices and supervision, and poor political leadership. Interestingly, under the original definition, it is third world. Third World originally referred to countries that were not aligned with the US, Britain and its allies (first world) or with Russia and its allies (second world) during the cold war. As Ireland was and still is neutral, it would be third world. Many of the worlds poorest countries also did not have alliances with the first world or second world countries. Third world became particularly associated with them and the term then became synonymous with poor countries. On that basis, Ireland is not a third world country.
Fair trade is good because it produces products that are fresher, yummier, healthier and most importantly help third world countries
Isn't it because the first world countries are on top of the technology revolution, seeing as third world countries are just trying to catch up.
its not good
Yes they should. However it must be remembered that it was the rich countries that caused the problem, and that the ability of poor third world countries to fight global warming is very limited. If we try to force countries to reduce their carbon emissions when their carbon emissions per person are already much lower than ours, we condemn them to poverty forever. This is a case when we must make compromises for the common good, and try to help third world countries to find ways to participate in the fight against global warming.
how many countries are their in the world
The median income in third world countries varies greatly depending on the country. Generally, it is much lower than in developed countries, often falling below the poverty line. Factors such as economic instability, lack of infrastructure, and limited access to education contribute to lower median incomes in these regions.
It means people in a third world have a different way of living then us, meaning they dont have as good of a life of us. North Korea is a third world country because no one knows what is inside of it because they block people in & out. Haiti is a third world contry because it doesn't have electricity and cool stuff like we do. It's a REAL poor contry, man. The third world is a term that started right after WW2 during the cold war. It was meant to represent the states that weren't alligned either with the Soviet-Communist side or the US/NATO-Capitalist side. Under that definition many well-developed and rich countries are third world because they are neutral. It was used to show the seperations in economy, politics and society. Capitalist-First world, Communist-Second world, everyone else-Third world. As it was mostly poor countries that were non-aligned, the term became more associated with poor countries and so the more modern concept of third world came into being.
