In the debate about whether rich countries should help poor countries develop, what reasons are given for helping poor countries? What can governments of rich countries do that will either help or hinder poor countries? How can foreign aid contribute
to global stability and security?
What will be an ideal response?
An ideal response will:
1, Describe how many Americans and others in rich democracies see the inequalities between the rich and poor as morally wrong and something to be rectified through aid for refugees, education, clean water, public health, and the like.
2, Discuss how political and economic leaders of rich countries can either help or hinder poor countries by determining whether they have access to trade markets, encouraging or discouraging corporate investments in and technology transfers to those countries, and making life more or less difficult for migrants coming from those countries.
3, Detail how foreign aid contributes to global stability and security by preventing "failed states," where resource supplies may be imperiled, terrorism may breed, and from which desperate refugees may stream to neighboring countries, destabilizing them as well.
