	matthewg  +  71939 Thu, 03 Feb 05 08:54 PM I think you should start by defining the words 'poor and 'rich'. Do you mean rich in culture? Or do you mean that the country has a very strong economy and a high standard of living? matthewg Joined on Mon, Sep 6 2004 Full Member 395

	hautea  +  74934 Fri, 18 Feb 05 09:33 PM I believe, every country is neither developed or developing. neither rich or poor. I can say that my country is rich with good people and good culture, but poor with technology. hautea Joined on Fri, Feb 18 2005 New Member 11

	bvpraveen  +  78715 Sat, 05 Mar 05 05:23 PM Dear friends, Developed country : Good economy, Good infrastructure, Good employment, Better standard of living, Army to list a few. Developing country : The above qualities only to a smaller extent. Even in developing countries there are cases where one moves at a rapid pace to get Developed country recognition ( China ) and the other which moves at a snail pace to get the same ( India ).

	leandro_tami  +  92310 Fri, 22 Apr 05 05:33 AM I think it's not very wise to label a country as undeveloped or developed, since development is something very subjective. It depends on the time instant and critery used to measure it. Often the label of underdeveloped country is applied to countries which are poor, defining poor country as country which doesn't have enough economical resources to sustain itselves. But, is it right to say a country is underdeveloped only because this reason? I think not, because a country may be very rich but it could have a really corrupt government which spends irrationally the money of the taxpayers, or a political class accustomed to steal fortunes to the state. Maybe being 'developed' or 'underdeveloped' just depends on having or not a balance between government corruption and economical income. leandro_tami Joined on Mon, Nov 15 2004 Mar del Plata, Argentina Junior Member 68

	nona the brit  +  92802 Sat, 23 Apr 05 11:57 PM West Africa is a huge area, with a number of countries, and an even larger number of different peoples living there, so it is an impossible task to look for a single culture or economical set-up. It's a bit like asking what is Europe's culture and economics - there is a huge variation. A multitude of peoples, languages, religions, cultures, governments.... nona the brit Joined on Wed, Sep 22 2004 England Veteran Member 11,713 The name says it all.
