Third World Debt and Disaster Recovery


Third World Debt and Disaster Recovery:
With all the hurricanes, tsunamis, and other natural disasters we have had in the past few years, people have began to notice that third world countries are usually the ones that struggle the most to recover. Why is this? Since they are known as “third world countries” they obviously do not have enough money to replenish their city like some US cities do. After Katrina, the Gulf took a hard hit but they were cleaning up and restoring pretty soon after. Unfortunately, it isn’t like that in other places. Some solutions to this problem would be to donate more money than we already, send more volunteers, or even help create jobs before anything threatens to affect them. Some barriers to this solution is that not everyone would be willing to offer their time and money to people they don’t even know. In my opinion, this is sad. It isn’t the country’s fault that a storm destroyed it. It’s not the people’s fault either. We should be there to help them as much as we can.
