A core region offers advantageous geographic locations which allow for accessible transportation, resource extraction and access to large populations. Core regions can be defined more succinctly than periphery, which can range from rapidly growing regions with expanding populations to resource frontiers which have had little development or probing for resources. Bone (2013) makes reference to an original core periphery model that says, “there is one core and three periphery regions, in that…

their education like they had when they were in high school and grammar school. But colleges and universities aren’t schools. They’re all businesses. College isn’t paid for through taxes or government funded. It comes from our pockets. But other countries like Australia, England, Ireland and Germany run their colleges and universities just like a high school. Every person goes to the same college and it’s paid for through their government taxes. A college education is no longer an option, but…

cognitive deficiencies such as: ADD, impaired problem-solving abilities, lower IQ scores and impaired school performance.5 Sadly, many of the aforementioned vitamins and often even the base amount of calories for a healthy diet are missing in developing countries and therefore this “window of opportunity” transforms into a “point of vulnerability,” where children develop a cognitive deficit that they carry forward with them into their adult life. “The macronutrients are the energy-yielding…

established itself throughout many centuries and many nations. Countries in all stages of development experience hunger in various degrees. According to the Director of Economic Studies at St. Arthur University, countries can be classified into three stages of development: developed, developing, and undeveloped. Underdeveloped and developing countries have a low standard of living and GDP per capita value, while developing countries have more advanced and organized government programs and higher…

that seeking pre-education programs is an important factor to helping provide those skills. PLAN is another example of a program that is moving toward helping children in need. PLAN is a system that focus on the rehabilitation of more than 40 rural countries such as: Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean. PLAN is an educational program that not only motivates the child to see their worth, but also provide tips and services to the parents, teachers, and any type of caregiver. PLAN built…

in the countries with the majority of natural resource endowments. “There are twenty-three countries in the world that derive at least sixty percent of their exports from oil and gas and not a single one is a real democracy” (Patrick). In developing countries, an increasingly important part of economic growth is the management of natural resources. This allows governments to deliver services to their citizens and it also creates jobs (“Creating Jobs”). The problem is that these countries do not…

Often, economists have skirted around the economic impact that geography plays for developing nations. For many of these countries, their location contributes to the prevalence of tropical diseases. In order to overcome this obstacle, a developing country should focus its efforts on expanding the nation’s healthcare infrastructure by constructing a network of accessible and affordable medical and emergency services and dedicating resources to the research and development of vaccines against…

financial regulatory and monetary policy being removed from the hands of the states: “In many countries, short-term interest rates that are traditionally set by monetary policymakers are responding to foreign financial conditions to a greater extent than ever before…” (Li and Zhou, p. 180). The influence brought on by external markets is certainly present but it could be argued that developing countries do indeed benefit from these influences. There is no doubt that FDI has provided vast amounts…

In the fast developing world, there is no room for doubt that rapid economic development is one of the most successful achievements in human history，both in developing countries and developed countries. Countless people are sharing the improvement of living standard in many aspects. However, with the threat posed by the increasing environmental problems and resource shortage problems, considerable amount of public attention is being attracted to the achievement of sustainable development.…

would tell you that such thing does not exist, neither in Haiti nor in any other countries. This is why people are not afraid to go out at night in rich countries, while we can’t say the same for Haiti. If they are scared and do not go out, it’s far from the same reasons. They might be afraid of a thief, burglar, criminals. But in Haiti, instead of being afraid of these terrorists’ clan who is creating terror in the country, we put this idea of a supernatural being with…
