Aided Problems

Should developed countries really care about the welfare of developing countries? And to what extent should countries give aid and support? Each individual country should be able to help out as much or as little as they want. The feeling of obligation is not a good reason to contribute to the world. Aid can be looked at in different ways; money, weapons and basic necessities. Different countries help out in these different ways, some might benefit the developing country, and some might cause it to lose even more of its resources. Helping to get a country on its feet again is something they can’t really do on their own easily. Coming up with money and resources is something to be interdependent on.

Money can be a very powerful thing to have. It can purchase certain items that put countries at an international climax. For some, giving aid isn’t about helping needy countries, it is about the bragging �rights’ they will have for being so �selfless’. Money can also buy things to really help the world and its people. Money can be the universal aid, no matter what a country may need, money will always help out in some way. Money can pay for medicine, food, shelter, clothing and safe drinking water. True, some of these are resources, but merely obtaining them is often the case in developing countries.

A lot of countries believe that developing countries need more war power behind them. Sending weapons is a major thing that the US does. They also pave the roads to training camps and war stations, but completely neglect the roads people need to use. Weaponry is something that can be useful in situations where they may need to defend themselves, but not something they can use on a regular basis, or for survival for that matter. Most underdeveloped nations will take whatever they are given, but if nothing is being said about what they really need, nothing will be done.
