One of the biggest problems I see with 3rd world gov'ts is corruption and abuse of power.  This is a cultural problem, not a social one, though it's impact is definitely social.  Unless and until this problem is admitted, dealt with, and resolved, no amount of money, aid, education, propaganda, king-making, nation-building, or peace-brokering will help the economy and thus the plight of the average citizen, at least long-term.\n\nAs far as "teaching" them to develop, one method that is reasonable and has been proven effective is to involve the average citizens themselves in the process of education, aid-distribution, and working smarter not harder.  This grassroots approach, seen in Bangladesh and some African locations, not only enlightens the masses and improves their condition, it replaces the traditional, pre-modern, ineffective, abusive, tragic methods and lifestyles with lasting positive change.

Wow, this is such a great question! Really.  For me, the way to reduce poverty in the US (and anywhere in the world) is to GET PEOPLE EDUCATED.  Poverty is such a complex issue and it is a difficult challenge to address, but if you get people educated, the quality of lives around the world will change.  I mean, by getting people educated, you help them get to schools, get good jobs, take better care of themselves, prevent disease, etc.  It's so cool, really.\n\nThere are statistics that support how education can help reduce poverty.  I think some of them can be found on www.campaignforeducationusa.org --  Maybe when writing your paper, you can present the case for education being a good way to fight poverty, and then support that by showing all the ways that educating someone can actually help him/her improve the quality of his/her life.  Good luck.

solving corruption is like fighting to the wind,,meaning its a desease without cure....but if everybody would cooperate ,which will not happen, we can solve corruption.sad that today lot of bad people are around.but we can pray...lets apply a solution..by giving every official a mirror to let them see waht theyre doing...they have no conscience..

SELF RELIANCE IS BEST.\nSocial services should only be there as a safety net NOT a way of life.

start a business and employ people is the best way to help those in poverty.

In the USA the solution is not putting up with laziness. Most "poor" people in the USA are just plain lazy. The few that aren't, need to learn a trade.

I was on a forum a little while ago and a guy on there had a pretty decent plan.  So I will pass it on.  First . Close the borders for good.  ( I don't think that is possible)  2.   All illegals in the penal system would be deported immediately. ( that is an excellent idea)  3.  All undocumented workers would have 6 months to study and get their citizenships, or get deported as well. ( ah, i am still not sure absorbing all of them would be good for the country, but I think it's good mid ground).  4, after the 6 months any company still employing Illegals get fined 100,000 a day. (Love that).

Sounds like every problem of every country,and there are no answers without greed and malaise being removed .why bother with the whole problem when even a small portion cannot be made better.world law on matters of decency is a option,but years away.

The system for child welfare in africa is horridly corrupted. The best solution is NOT TO SEND MONEY. Sending money allows for easy corruption. If you are going to send any aid, it should be in it's natural form: food, blankets, vaccines, books, etc. the best help would be through education, to teach the children and their parents how to stabilize their situation and economy. Teach them how to grow their own food, and create their own industry. This impowers the people to take care of themselves, rather than relying on corrupt leaders, etc.

I think that the first step is to make the rest of the world realise what's going on so that more people care about finding a solution. The majority of people who read this question will unfortunately not have a clue what you are talking about and that has got to change.

Fix the problem before the bad times come.  Basically you shouldn't wait until the problem becomes a big issue, instead you should fix it before it escalates.

NO!! because then nothing is done to solve the problem, thats what they are doing now, they come over here, have a baby over here, and then apply some way for government assistance, like AFDC, food stamps etc...

Eliminate corruption and politicians. Put taxes to legitimate use.  It's a simple formula but i think it will work.

Nope, the points of argument are all yours. Do you have a possible solution? Maybe putting some Americans who have lived for generations on welfare to work doing the jobs the illegals came for.? \n\nI say just wait, the next great depression is coming and the situation will resolve itself. No work is too hard or dirty when your family is starving.
