There are so many Americans that will drop off their old, broken electronics to be recycled, thinking they are being responsible, without knowing the truth. Developing countries are being shipped mountains of our e-waste to “bridge the digital divide” when in reality we just do not want to deal with these products that cost more to fix than they are worth. I will first explain what it is we are doing to these countries, how it affects them, and why it is being allowed in the first place. Then I…

international dollars per annum at the end of the previous century. The distinct place in terms of development Africa occupies in the world, and the variability of growth experiences on the continent merits an analysis of economic and institutional development in an African sample. This thesis will do so by taking a historical approach. We try to asses the impact of initial conditions on development paths in later times. Initial conditions, i.e. the situation present before or at the beginning…

inequality can be measured on different scales- not only across but also within countries- what are the implications for how we define and measure development? Answer using both theory and examples The 20th and 21st Century has seen remarkable developments in geography, perhaps most notably around development. As with many topics within the subject, development involves a myriad of complexities and its definition varies temporally and spatially (Willis, 2014). As Fraser (2010) notes, it is…

1. What does human development mean to you? Human development is the process of life from beginning to end. Each part of life has a different stage and each child transitions through each stage differently. Although one child may develop communication skills due to at home readings and parent interaction, another child may develop communication skills through classroom interactions.

analysis. In the recent decades the capability approach has gained much popularity as emphasis is laid on human development that goes beyond the previously important notions of sheer economic development. The earlier aspects of capability approach can be traced in the works of Aristotle, Karl Marx and Adam Smith; however, it is the economist philosopher Amartya Sen who pioneered in the development of this model (The capability approach, Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, 2011).
