First World, Third World, What World

Most charities are made to help people in need and the majority of these charities are for people in 'The Third World' or other areas of the world that are not quite as high standard of 'The First World'. My idea in this article is to show you a theory of why wealth is so divided in the world.

Some of the problems that have lead to this shift in our world are due to poor decisions whether or not its was bad decision making or the person or group were trying to better themselves.
The people from the first world in history may have been smarter than the people they classified as lesser than themselves or else and most likely they were too close-minded and thought themselves better just because that was the natural feeling for them.

I think that everybody in the world no matter where they are from deserves a voice for what they think is right and obviously everyone is going to have knowledge but in different ways. All races have different ways of thinking and beliefs so who is right? But the people who conquer places do not think that way they think they are right and are better than everyone else.

Now back to the subject the theory I have for the massive shift in wealth throughout the world is that what would have happened if we all stayed in the same place at the start and did not want to be more powerful than anybody else at the start of life would we then not raid people and destroy everything they have?

There have been uncountable times of different groups of people feeding off the work of others and making themselves better off at the expense of others. Examples such as Genghis Khan's long dynasty, The Spanish Conquistadors and The British.

If everyone in the world had the same knowledge is say we would all have the same wealth but it is not that way an example would be on the ivory coast in Africa European countries wanted to better themselves and would try to either buy or steal the natural resources of that land they had travelled to. When they did try to buy the people from the homeland did not know how much it was worth because they had no worth for it so they would sell it at a very low price far lower than what the traveller's from the European countries would get back at their homeland.

The European Countries spread out and across the globe seeking wealth and land wherever they went taking advantage of different races such as the Native Americans in America and Aztecs and other tribes from other continents around the globe.

The main point is that these European countries took major advantage of the other continents who didn't know any better about the natural resources surrounding them they used the term 'I don't shit where I eat' destroying the landscape and reaping all the goods from the land they travelled to so that they could be richer at the place they called home.
