Class, as we move into deeper discussions of the root causes of poverty and social inequalities in developing nations, we can also see the consequences of structured social inequality and poverty even in developed countries. By this point we can see that a nation’s economic ability to sustain and grow determines the quality of life of its citizens, this is also true in more developed countries. We are indeed experiencing a global economic divide between “the haves” and “have-nots.” We have to take a hard look at our economic situation in this nation in order to better understand this growing divide and how our economic growth or stagnation affects world wide economic structures.

Professor and class – “My Choice Of Developing Countries: Egypt and Bangladesh.

I completed the first 4 chapters of the Web text before replying to this weeks post. One of the things that bothered me was reading about infant mortality. I agree that a civil war is really not a good way to make a country prosper. The text reads that a country can actually go in reverse. That’s right, when it could take years to rebuild things. The thought that anyone died from poor health care is obviously not good. Especially when it concerns children.

I looked for articles on this. Here is one: Oza S. Lawn. J.E. Hogan, D.R. Mathers, C & Cousens S.N. (2014), “Neonatal Cause -of-death estimates for the early and late neonatal periods for 194 countries. 200-2013” Bulletin For World Health Organization,93, 19-28. I had to type that in myself.
