Wichit Na anong, President of the Tourism Council of Thailand, said: "In a few months there will be a lot of social problems. We need more work for our people. We need the tourists to come back and spend their money, to restore people's livelihoods, otherwise we could be in trouble."
As far as the accommodations and infrastructure are concerned the beaches on the West Coast of Phuket were the most effected by the tsunami. These beaches included Patong, Kata and Karon (Post-tsunami - Damage and ecovery, 2005). Approximately 200 of the hotels were damaged and 3,000 of the island's 32,000 rooms were destroyed. However, the damage created by the waves was limited to less than one kilometre inland (Post-tsunami - Damage and ecovery, 2005).

Although many accommodations are readily available Fresco (2005) points out that many accommodations in Phuket and other islands had only reached 15 per cent of their….

For this latter type of cause, many governments find NGOs "a nuisance or even a threat to their interests," although the same contention could be made about foreign aid that is contingent upon the government taking certain economic actions ("NGOs," BBC, 2009). However, other governments appreciate the hands-on approach of NGOs, who offer immediate assistance as well as financial aid where it is needed.
In terms of disaster relief, NGOs have proved especially useful. "NGOs are the rapid respond unit of humanitarian disasters all over the world. Members of these unique organizations put their lives on the line to operate in volatile areas during conflicts, and providing unconditional services to poverty stricken people. hile the UN is rambling about the pros and cons of moving into trouble spots, the NGOs are always the first to deploy," wrote one Liberian in response to a BBC article on NGOs in Africa ("NGOs,"….

The states which had a diversified palette of export products managed to overcome the crisis in relatively short periods of time due to the advantages of diversification. But the countries which had smaller economies, strictly dependent on one or two export products faced more challenges in defeating the crisis. These countries include Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Uruguay, Panama and Paraguay (Laosa, Mejia, 2006).
All in all, the approaches implemented by each country in the management of the Great Depression of the 1930s revealed both differences as well as similarities. The differences included diverse policy approaches, monetary decisions and the capitalization on the export advantages. The differences in the approach of the depression were given by a multitude of issues, most of them derived from the country-specific features. For instance, China, due to its currency pegging to the silver rather than the gold, faced little impediments in revival. The countries in….

Universal Health Coverage
One major initiative from the World Health Organization has been to improve global public health by improving access. The WHO has created a coalition calls for a (WHO, N.d.):

"A new global coalition of more than 500 leading health and development organizations worldwide is urging governments to accelerate reforms that ensure everyone, everywhere, can access quality health services without being forced into poverty. The coalition emphasises the importance of universal access to health services for saving lives, ending extreme poverty, building resilience against the health effects of climate change and ending deadly epidemics such as Ebola."

The statement calls something other than common conceptions of what is referred to as "universal healthcare" in the West. However, "access" to healthcare in the developing world is typically thought of along three dimensions (Evans, Hsu, & Boerma, 2013)

Physical accessibility. This is understood as the availability of good health services within reasonable reach….

Rights and Developing Countries
Human rights are essential to protect humanity and development. Human rights represent rights of an individual, a community or a society. Human rights violation in the current world has its consequences on the offender. There are organizations that fund human rights activists. The need to uphold human right has made governments formulate policies, create institutions, and laws that promote human rights. Developing countries have policies that protect rights of people in the society. India is one of the developing countries that face challenges in relation to human rights. In India, the issue is unique since it has a very large geographical region and thus; has diverse cultures. The country is a democratic nation, permits secular notions and is a sovereign state (Kieran, 2007). India's constitution provides for fundamental human rights. Under the constitution, there is provision for freedom of expression, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and….

As observed by no less a personage than Joseph E. Stiglitz, 2001 winner of the Nobel Prize for Economics "there needs to be a better balance between the role of markets and the role of government. Simplistic reforms based on free-market ideology don't work. The way that East Asia managed globalization, which combined an export-orientation with policies aimed at poverty reduction, worked even for the poor people. These countries did liberalize trade, but only as they created jobs," jobs that were permanently rooted in the local infrastructure of the nation, rather than dependent upon other nation's conglomerates.

The political benefits gleaned by Friedman will also have little benefit, even for the United States, moreover, if economic benefits are not similarly reaped -- after all, the terrorists that attacked the orld Trade Center, filled with hatred of America's power, wielded IBM laptops in their service of Islamic power, in defiance of estern….

Low Health Expectancy in Developing Countries
There are a number of health problems in the developing world that contribute to lower health and life expectancy. Many of these health problems are environmental, which means that they may be beyond the immediate control of people in the developing countries. Many of these factors also disproportionately impact the poor in these countries. "From longstanding to emerging hazards, environmental factors are a root cause of a significant burden of death, disease and disability -- particularly in developing countries. The resulting impacts are estimated to cause about 25% of death and disease globally, reaching nearly 35% in regions such as sub-Saharan Africa (1). This includes environmental hazards in the work, home and broader community/living environment" (WHO 2013). Three of these problems are: unsafe water, malaria, and lead exposure.

Unsafe water may be the largest global health risk, particularly in developing countries. In order to understand….

IMPOVEMENT OF EDUCATION IN DEVELOPING COUNTIES: Case study: GHANA EDUCATION SYSTEM
ESEACH FACTOS THAT INFLUENCE THE IMPOVEMENT OF EDUCATION IN DEVELOPING COUNTIES:

GHANA EDUCATION SYSTEM

The need for improvements in the educational system in Ghana today is greater than ever before, but there are some sophisticated research methods available that can help educational reformers in Ghana accomplish these important goals. In order to determine which research approach is superior for this purpose, or combination of methodologies, an understanding of what is involved in the Ghanaian educational system is in order. In terms of educational expansion as measured by the enrollment of both male and female school age children at all levels, virtually all African countries have accomplished remarkable results since the 1960s and 1970s, yet profound problems remain (Assie-Lumumba, 2000). According to Morrison (2001), the level of education provided to young children in Ghana today is a direct legacy of many events….

New Dictionary of Global Literacy (2002) a global economy is the international spread of capitalism, and capitalism-based economic system, especially in recent decades, across national boundaries and with minimal restrictions by governments. For many reasons the global economy has become hotly controversial, and there are as many critics as supporters of this recent wave of economic evolution. Critics allege that the mechanism by which global economy operates, which are the free markets and free trade, take jobs away from well-paid workers in the wealthy nations while creating sweatshops in the poor ones. Supporters of a global economy insist that the free movement by nations toward capital stimulates investment in poor nations and creates jobs in them. While this may be a temporary shift of investment from established countries to developing nations, the result is a global sharing of wealth which inevitably lifts all peoples, like an oncoming tide lifts….

Grant Proposal Synopsis Education is both a human right and a powerful tool for strategic development investment, women’s empowerment and enhancing economic and social development of societies (McCleary-Sills et al., 2015; Somani, 2017; Sheikh & Loney, 2018). As an important tool for women empowerment, education creates a multiplier effect for women since educated women are healthier and engage more in the formal labor market. However, girls’ enrollment and completion of primary and secondary schools remains to be a major issue in developing countries (McCleary-Sills et al., 2015). Gender inequalities in education persist in many developing countries despite measures that have been undertaken to expand educational opportunities for women across the globe (Ostby, Urdal & Rudolfsen, 2016). Jamal (2016) states that girls’ education in developing issues remains a controversial issue across political, economic, social, and religious domains.
Based on empirical evidence, Somani (2017) recommends several strategies that would help address the lack of….

Harris and Todaro (1970) admit that a limitation of the Todaro model is that assumes potential migrants are risk neutral agents. In fact, they may well prefer a certain expected rural income vs. An uncertain expected urban income. In the real world, risk aversion could make them choose the rural option or to wait for an offer of higher urban income to make the risk of uncertain employment prospects worth their while. ut, Harris and Todaro (1970) argue that they could easily adapt their model to reflect risk aversion and would still reach the same conclusions.

In summary, policies aimed at reducing urban unemployment can actually raise urban unemployment rather than reduce it as the Todaro paradox demonstrates. According to Todaro and Smith (2002), there are important conclusions to be drawn from the Todaro model of rural-urban migration including:

Creating urban jobs does not solve the urban unemployment problem because it encourages….

Critical Threats to the Global EnvironmentIntroductionFrom the onset, it would be prudent to note that there are a number of issues that continue to threaten environmental stability. These are inclusive of, but they are not limited to; rise on ocean levels, globalization, civil wars, global pandemics (such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic), lack of educational opportunities in developing nations, etc. In essence, owing to the finite nature of resources, stakeholders ought to focus on only the most serious threats at a time. At present, I consider the most serious threats to environmental stability to be; a) the use of fossil fuels as an energy source and b) insufficient educational opportunities in developing countries. These are the threats that will be explored in this discussion. In addition to assessing how the two issues highlighted above impact the global environment, this text will also highlight the role that humans have played in….

Developing country that will be focused upon for this report is Haiti. The reason the author of this report chose Haiti for this report is because the recent earthquake there that claimed roughly 50,000 lives brought it to the forefront. This is in contrast to the Dominican epublic (which is on the other end of the same island) had little to no notable news coverage during the same aftermath. Haiti is certainly not at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to developing countries but it shares a colonial past (French) with many other countries and it faces many challenges including starkly low incomes, very low literacy rates and other major life challenges for normal every-day Haitians. Facts to be covered include the name of the country, which of course is Haiti, when it became independent, its location, in what ways the country is less develop than more advanced….

Global arms trade is an industry that is massive in the global arena as it is built on the foundation of having robust and continuing demand that is arising from the expenditure of military personnel. Moreover, this phenomenon includes new weapons systems procurement and refurbishment. esearch shows that there are governments that spend more on military as compared to their infrastructure, health care, and development projects. Today, the proliferation of cheap weapons in countries like South Korea, Brazil, and Turkey that arms exporters consider as good. The occurrence of such an event sets to place America's dominance of the trade at a greater risk. For America producers, the repercussions will include grave economic situations if such arms exporters infiltrate the trade. Moreover, this will mean that Washington's global sway will encounter negative ramifications.
When the global arms market is flooded with relatively cheap and highly capable machinery systems, it is bound….

FDI in a Developing Country Case of British American obacco
Globalization is a reality. Partnerships between international companies and international governments are fairly routine in today's marketplace. In many ways, this trend in business began from the ashes of colonization. Amar K.J.R. Nayak's journal article, "FDI in a Developing Country Case of British American obacco" demonstrates part of the history of today's global economy by tracing the chronological development of the British American obacco (BA) company's involvement in India.

his article provides a comprehensive overview of BA's history, which is heavily rooted in the development of the international tobacco and cigarette industry. he company's initial expansion from Britain to India occurred in the early part of the 20th century during the epoch in which the British colonized the latter country. his development would ultimately prove to tremendously benefit BA, as its developments in India greatly assisted the British company in acquiring additional….

One of the most interesting issues in international relations is the role that nuclear weapons play in the effort to obtain peace.  Many people suggest that nuclear weapons can preserve peace.  The United States was the first country to actively deploy nuclear weapons in an effort to shorten a war by dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II. The widespread destruction, which was unlike anything ever experienced in a war up to that point, is often credited with ushering in the end of World War II, at least in the Pacific....

Global issues are those issues that have an impact on more than one area of the globe, whether that impact is direct or indirect.  These issues can be things that impact all people, such as global warming, or issues that may not currently impact all people but have a potential global impact, such as the political unrest in the modern day United States.  We have compiled a list of suggested topics for an essay on global issues.  Each of them has at least two perspectives, though one of the perspectives may be stronger or more....

Smart phones and other mobile technology have the potential to be real game changers in terms of economic development in developing countries.  Prior to the advent of mobile technology, developing countries were limited in economic development because they lacked the infrastructure to hasten that development.  However, with information technology and mobile connectivity increasing, economic development can occur in areas that are otherwise isolated because of a lack of developed infrastructure.  In addition, while economic development is a definite bonus of these technologies, there are some concerns about how they impact communities on....
