Development and Globalization In my perspective, the development issues are due to

inefficiency; by this, I mean that while some of the millennium development goals have
been met, their attainment has not aided progress. Consider the education sector: when
the aim was set, it was mostly focused on white-collar professions, ignoring the
technical part. The consequence has been a saturated market, where individuals are
qualified but there aren't enough opportunities to go around. If a person is armed with
the knowledge of how to use their aptitude and talents to exist rather than relying on
work, they will be able to do so. The health-care system may also be inefficient at times;
for example, supposing you go to the hospital expecting to be treated only to be told
that they are out of supplies. The structures were built to provide universal health care,
but they are not adequately suited to accommodate the influx of people. Another
example is government-provided health insurance, which does not cover some chronic
therapies, forcing consumers to get private insurance, which is substantially more
expensive. The third constraint needs to be a lousy government and bad neighbors;
corruption is widespread in underdeveloped nations. This has put public resources that
could have been used for growth in the hands of a few shady characters, as I mentioned
in prior debates. Another factor that may destabilize a country's economy is its
neighbors. Take Somalia, where a war that has stretched to Kenya has resulted in a slew
of failures. Refugees fleeing violent nations must be sheltered and nourished by
neighbors, which is the humane thing to do, but we forget that we are putting undue
strain on already depleted resources in the process. Another impediment to growth
rules that restrict property ownership. For example, in Kenya, most property rights are
inherited, and in some cultures, it is forbidden to sell ancestral land, leaving you with
dead money that could have been used for development. To put it another way, the
limits on property ownership and usage must be removed for development to take
place. The techniques for resolving development must first correct the goals; every goal
cannot be applied to every place. We need to go back to the drawing board, in my
opinion, and set realistic expectations based on the areas' capabilities. You can't make
objectives without first assessing the current circumstances. The answer for
strengthening agriculture, technology, rural infrastructure, security, and property rights
is one of the ideas provided (Globalization101 n.d). It's not that farmers don't produce;
they do; it's just that they don't have access to markets for their products. They should
aid a lot for marketplaces for their local goods instead of importing external produce,
starting with the policies set by the government. Consider how the market is swamped
with the manufactured in China logo today; it's not that we can't create our own; we do,
but they are outclassed by the imported ones. In the case of infrastructure, we focus so
much on decent infrastructure in urban areas when what we should be doing is
developing the rural regions where they obtain the majority of their resources so that
they can easily convey to the market. For the sake of security, it must begin from inside.
I say this because, no matter how calm you are, you will be affected by your warring
neighbor. Borders must remain calm for commerce to occur; this allows landlocked
nations such as Ethiopia and Uganda, among others, to sell their products on the
worldwide market. The other must be the establishment of favorable policies that allow
for the country's growth, such as those that promote equality based on gender, race,
religion, and other factors. We just watched a woman's rise to power in Tanzania, which
has resulted in a slew of positive social and economic outcomes for the country's
residents and neighbors. The issue is that in certain countries, women have not been
allowed to lead. I believe that they should since women not only construct families and
beautiful homes but also build great nations.
