The headline of the article, "Forget 'Developing' Poor Countries, It's Time to De-develop Rich Countries,"

revealed that many countries remain impoverished. According to some conventional economists, there
should be greater growth to alleviate the burden on developing nations. Rich nations have been
wealthier in recent decades, while underdeveloped countries have stayed impoverished. This lends
credence to the claim that developing and growing poor nations may not be the solution. It slows the
progress of developed countries.

According to Hickel, we may de-develop our country by lowering consumption since some people buy
items to demonstrate their position even if it is false in their actual condition. This should be prevented
since it has an impact on our way of life. Tradition refers to the past or what we may inherit from our
forebears, but development refers to something in the future. The traditional is conservative in the
sense that it prefers to maintain things the same. Progressive is defined as radical or reformist.

Reduced infrastructure and population, in my opinion, can help our economy expand since more
housing demand implies less space for agricultural. In addition, increased urbanization adds to global
warming. Human flourishing is an attempt to attain self-actualization and fulfillment within the setting of
a wider group of people. It also entailed logical application in which particular human potentialities, such
as skills, abilities, and virtues, are used to accomplish objectives and goals. If we look at it this way, there
will be a surplus that may go to developing nations if development in affluent countries slows.
Hopefully, a trend toward equal wealth distribution will occur.

I agree because we can better our standard of living. With the current state of affairs, we should
consider the life expectancy and growth of our countries, since it is not easy to live in impoverished and
underdeveloped countries.
