Summary:
This discussion talks about economic development for poor countries. There are two men who have different opinions. These days, the gap between developing countries and developed countries are terrible. There are many poor countries in the world, such as the Africa Continent. In those countries, they could not develop well because of lack of development sources, shortage of basic institutions, and bad policies. Therefore, the one guy suggests that developed countries reduced their restriction toward poor countries and trade them. Also, they help to poor people to get property and democracy right.
However, other guy insists that the developed countries’ economic aids are quite good. Therefore, developing countries have to develop their own. They make their environmental situation different from now. After then, they can develop such as China.

Opinion:
My research topic is economic development of Korea. Thus, I want to know another countries’ economic situation, especially developing countries. These days, the developed countries are more and more developing. Therefore, the gap between the poor and the rich countries cannot be changed.
In this discussion, they suggest many kinds of things about developing countries. However, I think that the most important aids are food, shelter, and medical treatment. Many people have been died because of these things. After then, they give the countries to just little aid about their development. I think it is the best way to help other poor countries.
