, QUESTION 1
INTRODUCTION
Third-world development has been lagging compared to the Western countries and to
the rest of the world, philosophers of African countries have no clear reason why it’s so
since the continent is rich in minerals and resources. Political analysis blames
corruption and self-enrichment of those in power but is this the real reason or there’s
much to say concerning this predicament? To get the root cause or main cause of this
we have to apply some theories to the Third World countries.
In this essay, we are going to assess whether modernization, dependency theory, or
growth-with-equity theory has a viable account for why some Third World countries
developed, whilst others remained underdeveloped.
BODY
As history is told some countries have been poor and remain in poverty as they become
poorer, while others developing. Independence wasn’t the exact remedy the third-world
countries needed, for mending their wounds. African countries likewise the other third-
world countries were exploited and defiled by European powers in the early centuries
and when Independence was brought about it established a new era where people can
organize their government but still be bound to the dominion of their formal colonial
power through institutions such as the United Nations ( UN), World Bank (WB),
International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Health Organisations (WHO), etc…….., in
In other words, third-world countries never being truly liberated it just shifted from one
colonization to another economic colonialization.
Poverty seems to be the shadow that it can’t disembarrass from as its consequences
still determine this present-day faith. As it’s been said there is no future without the past
but this past still coexists with its future as the country strives to ameliorate its future,
finding itself dismantle by its past.
