Blog: Developed Nations versus Underdeveloped Nations

Developed countries are those which have a growing economy, and undeveloped are those which are poor and are not growing in value or are very slowly going up, i.e. Italy for Developed and Honduras for Undeveloped

Economic development around the world

Economic growth is the increase in the amount of the goods and services produced by an economy over time. It is conventionally measured as the percent rate of increase in real gross domestic product, or real GDP.Growth is usually calculated in real terms, i.e. inflation-adjusted terms, in order to obviate the distorting effect of inflation on the price of the goods produced.

Ligh Industry

Light industry is usually less capital intensive than heavy industry, and is more consumer-oriented than business-oriented (i.e., most light industry products are produced for end users rather than as intermediates for use by other industries). Light industry facilities typically have less environmental impact than those associated with heavy industry, and zoning laws are more likely to permit light industry near residential areas. It is the production of small consumer goods.

Bar chart of the number of internet users in the world

In the past five years, the global Internet population has grown from about 1 trillion to 1.6 trillion, and thisgrowth is not goingto stop in the short term. However, future growth is not

equally distributed throughout all regions of the planet.

The latest report from Forrester ForecastView ensures that the Internet population will increase in all countriesthe world over the coming years, but emerging markets will grow at a faster pace. In 2014, one third ofInternet users come from Brazil, Russia,

India or China.

Map of the world’s gross domestic product

Countries of the world sorted by their gross domestic product (GDP) to values ​​of purchasing power parity (PPP), the sum of all goods and services produced by a country in a year, in relation to purchasing power parity (PPP .) This is an economic indicatorintroduced in the early nineties by the International Monetary Fund in a realistic way to compare living standards across countries, taking into account the per capita gross domestic product in terms of cost of living in each country.

Map of the main tourist areas

According to the World Tourism Organization of the United Nations, tourism comprises the activities that make people (tourists) traveling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for a consecutive period of less than one year and more than one day for leisure, business or other reasons.

Map of world trade

The trade is of growing importance in the global economic context, because the portion of production goes to foreign markets has been increasing steadily. In the past 50 years the physical volume of global production grew 8 times while the volume of exports increased 25 times (in value 150 times.) One consequence of this phenomenon is the increasing interdependence of economies and the need to incorporate an international perspective in household decisions. Hence the importance of highlighting some of the characteristics presented by global trade.

Oil: for and against

The oil is an organic substance consists essentially of hydrocarbons extracted from the interior of the Earth, hydrocarbons that are obtained from the fossilized organic moieties such as dinosaurs extinct .. At the same time, despite being an organic substance, oil is a complex compound which are not edible and can cause severe damage to both the health of living beings and the planet.

Importance of water

Water is one of the most important substances on earth. All plants and animals must have water to survive. If there was no water there would be no life on earth.

Agriculture as a system

Crop farming

Crop farming is a common means of food production all over the world and its importance is not expected to decrease in the future. Crop farming techniques allow food to be grown and harvested en mass, while decreasing the risks associated with plant disease, insect damage and inadequate soil hydration. Fruits, vegetables, grains, soy, nuts, tobacco and cotton are all important foods and agricultural products produced nearly exclusively through crop farming.  Recent technological advancements have led to improvements in crop farming, resulting in less damage to the environment and better crop yields.

Physical factors affecting farming

  Climate: Temperature – a minimum temperature of 6°C is needed for crops to grow. The growing season is the number of months the temperature is over 6°C. Different crops need a different growing season, e.g. wheat needs 90 days. Rainfall – all crops and animals need water.
Relief: Temperatures decrease by 1>°C every 160 metres vertical height.
Uplands are more exposed to wind and rain. Steep slopes also cause thin soils and limit the use of machinery. Lowland areas are more easily farmed.
Soils: Crops grow best on deep, fertile, free-draining soils, e.g. the brown earths found in lowland Britain. Less fertile soils prone to water logging are best used for pastoral farming.
Aspect: The direction a slope faces. South-facing slopes are best for growing crops.
