Opinions are divided on whether it is better to call for international financial

support for underdeveloped countries or offer merely partial aids and counsels.
Even though it is understandable why some think developing countries struggle
without help from advanced economies, I believe the poorer should only partly
receive the proposal from the richer.
The supporters of international subsidy claim such practice is the most effective
approach concerning hunger and poverty eradication of stagnating countries. There
are several economies encountering financial distresses year by year and find no
other better solution but to ask for assistance from their international peers.
Nonetheless, I find such a tendency rotten to the core since every nation is gifted
with a certain amount of resources that can be well utilized under the right hand.
Most of the underdeveloped countries are run by the corrupted government in which
group benefits and conflict of interests take a terrible toll on economic growth.
Even worse, some countries heavily rely on international support without seriously
battling their difficulties in the first place and indifferently take the support
for granted. Therefore, the heart of the problem stays unsolved, leading to an
endless loop.
I believe the best way is to offer practical aid and advice to such countries.
Avanced economies are more than welcomed to share their experience and expertise in
particular fields which the underdeveloped ones are in shortage of or incompetent
at. For instance, Vietnam is wellknown for its agricultural economy, especially
rice production; however the produce fails to meet the high standard imposed
strictly by European Union. Hence, those with advanced knowledge, such as Japan or
Israel, should provide Vietnam with thorough advice on efficient rice production
techniques and technologies for better improvement that can eventually lead to a
more sustainable development.
In conclusion, I agree that no man can achieve success mostly on their own without
collaboration and support from the others, especially regarding developing
countries. However, practical aid and advice are encouraged to be provided so that
misplaced reliance can be avoided.
