Research the history (going back at least several hundred years, if not thousands of years), geography, culture, and economics of your country to explain why it is a developing nation. Try to answer these kinds of questions:
• Why is there hunger and poverty (Why didn’t this country come to rule the world like Europe did in the 19th century)?
• Who are the wealthy versus who are the poor?
• Why did the country fall behind in development (literacy, education, invention, industrialism, arms, wealth)?
• How did the poor get poor?
• How is poverty perpetuated?
• Is your country being exploited for resources (or was it in the past) by other world powers?
• Was it a colony or under imperialist control?
• Is its economy dependent on developed countries?
• Is it engaging in modernization?
• What are the geographical, economic, social and political features (past and present) of your country that affect its poverty?
