Ways in which the chasm between the rich nations and poor can be bridged

The definition of rich, poor and developing nations are very clearly defined and there remains a huge gap between these countries ranging from their economy, living standards, types of occupation, health facilities, education, communication, government’s aids etc.
The ways that needs attention to actually make a difference in bridging the chasm between are actually few simple differences which are neglected because of the small vision of the people in search of short term profits thus proving to be a hindrance in terms of long term profits. First and foremost a nation is defined as rich or poor depending on the Economy and the number of Employed people. The basic necessity here is the attitude of people to respect labor and to to do justice to any work you do. This attitude difference is a major problem in the rich and poor nations and the poor nations need to emphasize on this subtle problem that is the root cause of what they are. Look at Switzerland, the leading producers of chocolates has no cocoa plantation and not even a huge milk production even Japan with 80% of its land covered with mountains, but it could stand back even after the devastating Nuclear bombs, but it is the spirit of the people that can make a nation do anything, so first comes unity of the nation and seeing your own growth in the nation’s growth.
Attitude of the people can be improved only when their basics and roots are clear and the major difference between the rich and the poor nations is EDUCATION and while the developing nations provide education, but ironically there is a difference between quality and quantity education and the rich nations maintain a very practical approach to education while in the other countries students just study something with no learning and no proper literacy. The education and moral values need to be provided by teachers who wish to impart knowledge to the children to form them as better citizens and we lack powerful leaders to sit amongst the Big Powers to be able to strike a conversation who have a vision to think way beyond just their own nation but think of Globalization that is a process by which the people of the world are unified into a single society and function together by implementing Reduction or elimination of capital controls Reduction, elimination, or harmonization of subsidies for local businesses, Creation of subsidies for global corporations etc.
Poor nations like Africa and other ranking lowest in Economy because of the cheap local politics and the wars they keep having amongst themselves with divisions and community disturbances that consume all their attention and and even funds, efforts in taking revenge that doesn’t permit them to think of construction rather are all focused on destruction. Well quoted by Barack Obama on the oath taking ceremony” Strength is not measured by what you destroy, but is built on what you construct” and thus it is not only in one or two poor nations, but every poor nation has a record of conflicts amongst inter-religeous, inter-castes etc while there seems to be no improvement even if everybody knows this can not help them improve by any ways.
The health issues also remain a major chasm between the rich and the poor. While diseases affect irrespective of rich nations and poor nations, but the incidence of epidemics and deadly diseases like HIV is more in the poorer nations and the health facilities too are not advanced in the poorer nations while rich nations flaunt their highly advanced technological progress. Countries should focus on the people’s health problems to encourage the life expectancy period like the other richer nations. Atleast people dying due to unhygienic standards and malaria should be reduced to 0 to make them stand at par with the Super Power Countries.
Other aspects that play a role in differentiating the different nations include the Modes of Communication. While the rich nations enjoy feasible and convenient modes to remain connected with the whole world and even have great internet, telephone etch facilities, the poor countries have minimal sources to remain connected, so are confined without any exposure. The advancement in Science, research, technology and even Nuclear Powers are vital powers in forming a platform for the nations to be comparable shoulder to shoulder. In Chile, Hungary, and Poland, the overall level of technological achievement increased by more than 125 percent during the 1990s. Countries can also look up to focusing on the service sections to boost more of employment and also to impact on the standard of living of the people. Sectors like tourism can help the poor countries especially grow as Tourism accounts for more than twice as much cash moving from rich to poor countries than governments give in aid and can add on to the GDP. The most important step is fair distribution of wealth to first avoid such class formation in the nation inself and after a hope of Globalization, after the fair distribution, we can expect the nation to stand stable and comparable to the richer nations and it is still not impossible to diminish the gaps between the rich and the poor nations, just that the leaders of the nations should start working on this aspect now on.
