tradional skills and ways of life die out when a country develops?

They do. They way people do things change as we become more advanced in technology. For example, people used to wash clothes by hand. With the introduction of the washer, it is rare in this country. We no longer use records, and pretty soon, with the widespread use of MP3 players, Cd's might become obsolete as well.

No the ideas didn't die. Some people still cling to them. There is now going to be a better balance and exchange of ideas. That is healthy for everyone.

Developed country is the country with a well developed economics, low level of unepmployment. Country where level of life is high. Where laws work. And people in the counry live normaly in their majority.

There was a time not so long ago when the future looked promising....end of the cold war, the emergence of people power in harsh regimes, popular culture's role in addressing the world's starving, the advances in science that promised the eradication of disease and poverty, etc.  Now it seems that the "old order" has reasserted itself and the most powerful governments of the world are once again committed to jingoistic warmongering activities that place us all at risk once more.  Unfortunately those human traits that are no longer required but have survived evolution to date (greed, fear, aggression) are still a driving force behind most, if not all of, world politics today.  Strangely enough, everyone knows deep down the correct path to take......just no-one has the guts.

Eventually the sun will swallow the earth; that's pretty much known.  I believe with the demoralization of people that I've seen from the past that we as a people will eventually kill each other off, or our standard of living will eventually go down the drain until third world countries now will look like the upper crust.

Civilisations spread, but eventually they become politically stagnant, corrupt and are no longer able to progress (see examples with Rome, and even colonial empires such as the British Empire).\n\nWith America, there is an interesting article by Noam Chomsky about that.

Total stagnation of the company or organisation.  Probably the worst examples of this are the National Health and Local Government.  The main features are a proliferation of managers  and assistant managers and various sub divisions! All trying to justify their existence by issuing more and more paper work!  Very shortly you get more managers than workers and these poor souls spend most of their time filling in forms!  Eventually the whole lot implodes.  Then nobody has a job.  It was a feature of all communist countries and that led to corruption and that led to economic collapse.  The EU is a prime example.

No.It would collapse.The country was so locked down for so long it is going to take some time for them all to figure out how to get along without killing each other.

well if you meant old days before the invention of tv ,airplanes ,motorized ships .you will have a different ansrwers. in the past cultures were isolated far from each others until trades and needs for food and other vital needs start to move populations to farther places where these communities  met other communities and not only goods and material things are traded knowledges of new ideas ,thoughts and in some cases ,wars between tribes, lead the winners to gain cultural ideas ,they i mean humain immigration through hunger or commerce or drought lead the humain communities to intersect and social religious ,economical thinking ,languages had to meet and today we are dissolved almost in a huge village called planet earth .

Just read some of these questions and answers! jk  If you want to live a decent life or have a family you need a good education to survive.  The smarter we all are as a whole makes us a better society and a stronger country to survive in a violent world.  Research and development in all fields allow us to advance and survive.  Would you want to live in some of these third world countries or raise your children in such a place?  If you say, yes, then you haven't visited enough of them.  Without education we are doomed to be like many of these poorer countries throughout Asia, which includes the Middle East.  A society of ignorant violent people who can not govern themselves.  There are many intelligent and good people in these areas, as well as some succesful countries, but they are unfortunately the minority.  If this answer did not work, go hang out in some getto or trailer park.

A country's population can grow because of immigration as well as from the change of birth and death rates.  Canada, for example, has very low birth and death rates, but it is growing as large numbers of people move there from around the world.

It doesnt really matter if you are for or against it. It is only going to happen at an increasing rate as countries like China and India continue to expand their economies. For those that just take the attitude that think it is a bad thing, you are going to be left behind. You would be much better off to understand it and become part of it.

None, without diversity we would literally die. Our gene poll couldn't do it if we were breeding among the same "clans" or groups for hundreds of years, we would all have birth defects.\n\nWhy would people travel to other Countries? Is it for visiting and learning about other Cultures and their surroundings / habitats?

I would say no. Countries that are more developed like ours are going to suffer, intially. While poorer, more underdeveloped countries will reap more benefits, at least in the earlier stages.

It is possible but it would depend on their government and the people themselves to recognize what it is that would make their country develop. They have to recognize what their competitive advantage is and be open to change. I have a friend who works in a development project in Ethiopia to establish schools and Universities as well as introduce alternative crops that are more drought-resistant.\n\nOverall it won't be the external aid from other countries that would bring them out of their present state. Their government and the people have to make the effort to make their country better. Besides no one can tell them what they need. They have to figure that out themselves.
