of the poor and spread poverty and slums. In Egypt the people had reached a point of indignation that had a well-founded sense of social injustice and discontent. Egypt suffered from corruption, bad economic performance, and an absence of political parties. Egyptians used to adapt with all these economic stresses without any complains, but Egyptian youth did not accept all these imbalances, and they decided to go for a change. Anger and hate motivated them not to return home…

adopted policies in order to fit themselves snuggly into the Golden Straitjacket in order to emerge into the international market. The first tenet for fitting into Friedman’s Golden Straitjacket is “making the private sector the primary engine of its economic growth” (Friedman, p. 61). India and Brazil have both privatized industries that were once strictly controlled by the government. Brazil’s 1988 federal constitution consolidated the state’s monopoly over oil and gas production but a…

The rapid growth of urban areas in developing countries is causing a large debate on whether it is overall beneficial or harmful to the countries and societies that they are located in. In 2000 two billion people in the developing world lived in cities, by 2030 it is expected to be around five billion. The cities that are growing the fastest are located in Asia and Africa. The question of whether this is a positive impact is rooted in how it will affect the poverty level. There is mass poverty…

considering poverty unsuited for the demonstration of national pride, resulting in the stigmatization and ostracization of low-income families living below the poverty line.

political governance that globalization brings with it to developing nations. This can be seen in Phiona’s life as well as Precious’s life. L’Huillier quotes Garfolo and L’Huillier, ‘through globalization poor countries have stagnated in terms of economic growth reflecting and resulting in: low productivity, rising income inequality, poor standards of living, unemployment, and poverty due to inequality of income distribution’ (L’Huillier 2016, 372). This can be directly seen throughout the…

VOLUNTOURISM In the modern world, impoverished and underdeveloped countries exist in large numbers, which is a problem that is underrated and is not being solved efficiently. Poor countries such as Kenya, Congo, and Bangladesh need a lot of help but they do not have the resources to pay many people to work and help develop the country. Luckily organisations like United Nations offer help but most of the time it is not enough to make a big difference. This is where voluntourism comes in. The…

In the international world, this becomes the biggest crisis. By looking at the figure the burden bore, developing countries are going over than $2 trillion. Underdeveloped countries in comparison with a developing nation, the rate is particularly severe which is not a surprise for anyone. Prosperity of every state counts on its progress and the…

into two countries. The experience of its inhabitants is the story of colonialism, from its earliest manifestations to its tumultuous end. What happened in the Congo happened to varying degrees throughout Africa and other colonized regions: racism, economic exploitation, indirect rule, and modernization.
