Why are some countries more nicely develop than others? Why do we have enough money to buy food and medication for ourselves but other countries don't have that kind of money? Why do other people from other countries live in the worse condition but we don't? Why can't the better develop countries be involve even more in helping the undeveloped countries? Why can't we give them homes, money, food, doctors and medication? Why are people from undeveloped countries dying from diseases and illnesses that could have been prevented by only a simple shot?
Point Being: Why are people in some areas around the world living in dangerous and unwell conditions without a home, a doctor to see their child, without clean water or food, without money and in between a war but in other areas people are living a nice life with a home, with money, with a doctor to see their child, the closes they probably will ever get to a war is when they see the news, and hopefully with clean water? Isn't this abuse living so badly like that, can't we do anything to fix it?
I know I am an idiot, but I don't understand!!!!
Sorry, if there is already a topic on this
Bye N Have a nice day

Because of the way the economy runs (e.g. supply and demand, inflation, etc.). For instance, when the United States went the Great Depression in 1929, the economy was in one of the worst conditions it had ever been in. The excessive speculation in the late 1920's kept the stock market artificially high, but eventually lead to large market crashes. These market crashes, combined with the maldistribution of wealth, caused the American economy to capsize. Most people had little or no money and were without work. I only bring this up because the United States is the world's only superpower –today-, but we were, at a time, almost as worse off as any given third-word country. The United States has a fairly strong economy and more advanced technology that many countries do not have. We’re a somewhat capitalist country, meaning that wealth is distributed justly, and people get paid what they earn. quote: Why can't the better develop countries be involve even more in helping the undeveloped countries? Why can't we give them homes, money, food, doctors and medication? Why are people from undeveloped countries dying from diseases and illnesses that could have been prevented by only a simple shot?
Because the “better” countries, like the US, have many problems of their own. One major flaw of the United States government is that it would rather help countries in Asia or Europe than help itself. We have homeless people dying here, but the government puts the homeless in foreign countries first before it deals with the poverty here. We can only provide so much for other countries and it really is not our place to make sure every economy runs the way we’d like it to. There is a considerable amount of poverty in communist countries such as China and North Korea, but we can’t just send troops over there to change the government the way we’d like it to be. It would ultimately cause more death and chaos than is necessary.

your so totally right Teddy! Why can't we do something? There are sooo many rich people in the world, why don't they donate anything? IT makes me sick when I see that in magazines it says like for instance: A TOUR IN JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE'S 4 MILLION DOLLAR HOME I think dont they have anything better to spend their money on like saving a life or soemthing? Cant they just contribute a little? Jeez!! PEOPle are so greedy!! And not to mention, why doesnt Good ole George W. BUSH (I HATE THAT GUY) JUST CONTRIBUTE A LITTLE MONEY OR START A FUND OR SOMETHING? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IS BEING DONE BY HIM TO SAVE THESE POOR PEOPLE"S LIVES! I KNOW HES ONLY THE PRESIDENT OF THE U.S BUT THE U.S HAS SO MANY THINGS THAT THE OTHER COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD DONT HAVE SO CAN'T WE ALL JUST SHARE OUR PRODUCTS AND MONEY AND STUFF SO WE CAN ALL LIVE IN GOOD CONDITION? Absolutely NOBODY should be livign like those people in Africa are or any other contries with poverty and diseases and stuff. It makes me wonder why George Bush is so POWERFUL yet he does nothing to help those people.. I dunno this is just my opinion. Myabe i dont know what i'm sayin.. Maybe im' just a dumb kid.. But this is my opinion. SO thanks for reading it!  ~NIK~

Thanks Dreamz and Kiddo for answering!!!!!!!
I really don't understand none of this. I wish I did but I don't.
I wish I could help the world but I don't even know where to begin.
Don't we have enough money to go around? Why can't everyone at least get some medicine?

yes it can be very easy we could've solved many problems but the way this world works stops us.
like,would the factories sell the medicine at lower price?or will they let out the directions for producing medical products(if so,with a little bit more help,many people in Africa can be treated,i mean,most of the patients)?no,the economic system protects private property,they have their rights to hold the money even if they wont use 1% in their lifetime.

good question, teddy. quote: Why can't we give them homes, money, food, doctors and medication
we can give them homes, money. all we need to do is give them the money. when u see homeless ppl one the street, even if u only have a dollar, give it to them. with just a dollar can save them for a day or two. quote: ? Why are people from undeveloped countries dying from diseases and illnesses that could have been prevented by only a simple shot?
some countries don't have to money to prevent those diseases. for example, africa. there's a lot of children there born with AIDS. or they starved to death. it's sad to see them suffer, i know. but before healing them, they gotta have food. they'll be satisfied if u gave them clean water and a piece of bread. i dunno if my ideas are good or bad. but, it's the easiest way.

teddy,you have a beautiful mind...
i think this world hasnt been synchro,all the countries in this world didnt started developping or going down at the same time,which made the difference.it cant be fair right now unless we change the history,and we cant,so it aint... you know there's a theory saying that productivity makes productivity system.capitalism,socialism,and communism,are built upon our ability...one day,if the world produces enough goods,we may have a new way of assigning...
maybe we cant change the situation now,at least we are trying to help...
