Explain why there is a need for world development.
Some parts of the world are in need of improvement, and development. The world has been divided according to their economical advancement. There are ‘First World’ countries such as USA, Western Europe and Australia, which are known as MDC’s are they have an economic advantage. Then there are ‘Second World Countries’, which are regarded to be poorer than the west, and but richer than the rest of the world – generally communist countries such as USSR. Last of all the poorest areas of the world are categorised as ‘Third World’ countries which are the poorest in the world and are in severe poverty, such as some parts of Africa.
Medicine is great development of the world, and is an aspect of life that is successfully developing further. It is a great wonder of the science nature, as it is the ability to cure illness – a main factor of suffering in the world. However, this great discovery is not available to everyone in the world. In countries such as the United Kingdom, there is easy access to Medical help, because of the National Health Service set up for the UK citizens. Regardless of the fact whether a free health service is provided or not, in western countries we are reassured that the hospital environment is clean and safe. However, in ‘third world countries’ both these factors are a struggle. In LDC’s there is no free medical assistance, as the governments are more concerned about other issues, mainly getting themselves out of poverty – medical assistance is the least of their concern. There is a low rate of people who can afford medicine. Additionally, even if a person is able to afford hospital environments is an issue. They are laden with hygiene problems, which is a difficult problem to solve due to economic reasons.
