Do you live in a Third World Country?


Joga

Recommended Posts

Do you ever feel unsafe? Do you feel more fortunate than the majority of the people in your country? Do you ever wish you could move somewhere else?

 

 

And lastly, what do you like about living in your country?

 

Sorry for so many questions, I just wanted more people from third world countries to shed light on what its really like living in one.

I am from a developing nation. I moved to the United States a long time ago. To answer your question, while there are a lot of problems and the government is corrupt, there was community. Sometimes it feels incredibly lonely in the states. No family, no community. But I think all of the opportunities make up for it!

I don't know what its like, that's why I'm asking.

asking if I feel safe implies there's reason not to be. My country has never dealt with bombings, or terror attacks, or mass shootings. There's a lot of opportunity which can piss you off when people who aren't qualified get them. I'm envious of first world countries because it's easier to find the most ridiculous stuff in stores, restaurants rarely deliver in the rural area where I live, and the post can get expensive if you order big things, and I can solve the first 2 problem by moving to the city.

 

If you want to know what it's like just ask. It's easy to view what you wrote as looking down on. Are you American? because I find that it's usually Americans who aren't knowledgeable about the rest of the world and think everyone is not free and struggling besides them.

Argentinian coming throw: Yes, despite what many ppl tell you Argentina is a 3rd country, the burocracy is painfull for everything, inflation too, you find yourself often overworked, high taxes, and corruption is wild at any level..... that's the bad; the good is that everyone will help you, it's not an individualistic society, public transportation actually works excellent, education is free at any level, free Health care ( even complex issues )

I don't think she expects normal things that even 1st world countries deal with. Looks like she expects constant fear for our lives, crazy crime rates, no money etc. I wonder if she thinks we live in tree-houses or shacks?

How people think my country looks like:

How it actually looks like:

I mean, poverty and all those things people see on tv ARE ALSO PART of this reality, but they aren't everything. Especially on smaller cities.

 

Also, in the countryside, some people still go to sleep with their doors open (due to the heat). That's how safe they feel.

I don't live there now cuz my parents wanted to move to a bigger country so we could have better education qualifications.

 

Do you ever feel unsafe?

No. Its home. There wasn't a war going on or shootings targeting random people. Its just a normal neighbourhood.

 

Do you feel more fortunate than the majority of the people in your country?

Yes I suppose?. I feel fortunate I had great parents. Our family was quite well off although not filthy rich.

 

Do you ever wish you could move somewhere else?

I was like 13/14 when I moved to uk. I hadn't thought about wanting to live in a certain country although I wished to travel few countries.

 

And lastly, what do you like about living in your country?

Lots of things but mostly the people.

Esp my Relatives and Neighbours. Whenever you are free u can just pop down in the courtyard and gather around with friends(neighbours), have a laugh, talk etc or just talk from balcony to balcony from side to side houses. If they cooked something special or nice they would bring it to us and we would give our food to them. Birthday parties with lots of crowd..the entire neighbourhood haha uncles and aunts getting wasted and cracking dance moves. Festivals time when we would go sing from door to door. Everyone knew eachother.

I wouldn't go as far as to say it "works excellent" because if we compare the quality to that of first world nations, it works terrible. 

The quality of education & health care is usually really bad (except for a few places), but yeah, at least it's free. 

AND we have actually good, free universities, that's something I'm really proud of  :fyeah:
