There is a moral necessity today for the richer countries of the world to help the poorer countries develop in terms of feeding the population, education and health care. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

The world today is often divided into two categories, more developed and less developed

countries

.

This

division is significant in terms of health, wealth and education. To minimise

this

gap, it is argued that richer

countries

are morally responsible to support the less wealthy. I, personally, feel that

Due to

this

dependence on poorer

and the influence that the richer

have had on the imbalance, it can be concluded that richer

countries

are indeed morally obliged to help the less wealthy

. Opposing

they need to provide health, education and basic necessities for themselves.

However

, simply providing these three services would not lead to closing the wealth gap. It would rather be helpful to invest sustainably in poorer

countries

and help them create their own systems, allowing these

countries

to be self-sufficient. In conclusion,

while

there is a moral necessity for wealthy

countries

to aid the poorer ones, simply providing basic necessities is not sufficient. A more sustainable idea would be to teach

countries

to plan and provide for themselves by giving economic incentives.
