Some people think that developing countries need financial help from international organizations. Others
think that it is practical aid and advice that is needed. Discuss these
views and give your own opinion.
Owing the increasing gap in
economic situations among countries, poorer nations often receive money influx from international
institutions. While there are many arguments for and against this trend, I am
of the opinion that these countries should be provided with pragmatic support rather than solely
financial ones.
On the one hand, the advantages
of international funding are undeniable. Firstly, with countries whose natural
conditions are too harsh to cope with, they might have no choice but to depend on foreign aids. For example, in some
underdeveloped countries in Africa, loss of crop may occur frequently because
of natural disasters or severe weather. Therefore, they must resort to financial support as an only
way to thrive. More importantly,
developing nations can utilize the donation for improving infrastructure and
facilities. As people here hardly have any access to advanced health or
education services, public constructions built by the financial aids may give
them more opportunities to approach a better living standard.
However, the nature of these humanitarian activities can backfire on those who benefit from them.
Given the fact that the people living in developing countries may unconditionally be provided money,
they will likely take it for granted
and squander money in a futile way.
Under such circumstance, it seems more ideal to give them advice and
consultancy on how to use the donation properly. Apart from that, organizations
could fail to provide unlimited source
of funding for poor people, so they need to get independent from the help in a long term. One method to achieve
this could be sending experienced
experts or professionals to the developing nations. By training local
workers to the newest technology, we can create
a more productive and disciplined workforce, the key to sustainable economic growth of a
country.
In conclusion, the significance
of international help, both financially and practically, is crucial to the potential prosperity of a less affluent country. However, I
believe that charitable organizations should put more focus on instructions and
advice for poor people to lead a better life.
