I have to agree very much with you that such terms as “developed” or “developing” have little meaning when we speak of individuals from whatever country. Nor were they ever intended to be used in that manner. The main difference between countries labelled one way or another is the level of economic development and infrastructure has been achieved. A country that is considered developed tends to have a more stable economy, more developed industry and technologies, and offers more services to its citizens (public schools, universal health care, sanitation and transport, etc.) This is no reflection on the character of the nation’s people.

In any country, there are people who are well-off and those who are not. Similarly, there are those who are educated formally and those who have not been fortunate to have the education they would have wanted to have. And in most of the world today, the gap between the “haves” and the “have-nots” is getting bigger by the minute.

The internet is a force for equality, and this has been recognized by some governments who have put specific measures in place to help their citizens gain access to computers and internet connections. The internet is also a force for communication and for the education of people all over the world. It levels the playing field so that our individual personalities become the focal point, rather than our countries of origin.

Today, only those who fail to move beyond their own petty prejudices will hold up a person’s nationality as if it is some kind of a sign for good or evil. Most of us have grown far beyond that, both in terms of assuming that people from a developed country are in some way more aggressive or successful, and in terms of assuming that someone from a developing country is somehow too weak to think for himself.

A person’s nationality has little to do with his character or worth. Some very well educated and well to do people can be incredibly ignorant. By the same token, a pauper may have incredible insight that is sought out by many.

Well said Kyla. I am aware of the parameters that are used to categorise countries and these parameters are old and need to be looked at differently. Having said that I feel there is no need at all in the first place to place countries in categories. So much is missed out while doing this.
Happy that I have my own yardstick to judge and give no importance to whatever statistics that are produced.

I’m sorry, this title made me chuckle! It made me think of the stereotype of unilingual Americans who, when confronted by people who don’t speak English, just raise their voices!

In my experience, there are times to speak up and times to speak softly. Both approaches work, but in very different circumstances. Our greatest elders are often very unassuming personalities who sit off to the side and speak very softly.

There is time to sow and there is a time to reap just there is a time to speak with anger and there is a time to speak politely. I say that life is game of time and time is everything and nothing is out of time on earth and in space.

Lips and tongues lie. But actions never do. No matter what words are spoken, actions betray the truth of everyone’s heart.Jesus Christ said by their fruits ye shall know them,’ not by their disclaimers.

When someone has gifted you with one act of love after another, it’s only fair to ignore their bad moods and concentrate exclusively in the many things they’ve done for you. Acts and feelings should always prevail over moods and words

The more deeper you think, the more silent you become. You understand the reasons behind the reason. It may not necessarily mean you are short of words. You however know what ignorance can trigger and how to deal with ignorance and purpose. The timeliness of your word is surely on point

Yes. It is always the will power of the individual which makes him stand out in all adverse circumstances.
There are people who do like others prospering in their life. They disappoint them, they discourage them.
But, one should not pay attention to theirs
.
When we speak and try to air our feelings there will always be hecklers whom attention should not be paid attention to. and must pull on to reach the goal
