Some people think that the best way to solve the problem of poverty in many countries is to set up businesses and improve trade links with rich countries To what extend do you agree or disagree? What other measures do you think may be effective?

Poverty is a definitely difficult issue that many nations are facing nowadays. Some people assume that poor countries should cooperate rich countries in the commercial transaction to develop the economy. Personally, there would be more effective measures that developing nations need to do rather than focusing on improving economic collaboration. To begin with, I agree that international cooperation is one of the good measures to escape from impoverishment, but it can not be the best way. Firstly, international trade could help us exchange our products to other foreign countries. It is very important to introduce a nation’s products to the global market. Secondly, one vitally useful thing is that we can study technologies from foreign friends to apply for our manufacture. For example, due to international cooperation, we have improved technologies in agriculture to create many types of seeds including rice, potatoes, tomatoes, bananas which can resist on worms causing a lot of diseases on plants. Thanks to this development, our country can achieve the variety of fruits to meet the domestic demands and exportation. Therefore, global trade would be really crucial to totally develop not only the economy but also other fields. On the other hand, a top priority that we should do immediately to reduce the number of people living in poverty would be enhancing education. There are some reasons why we should concentrate on education. The first one is that a good upbringing could raise the high-quality generations that are knowledgable enough to absorb innovative technologies from developed countries as well as to create the high-tech products for the national industry. The last reason may be related to people’s awareness. It can be very clear that a good education would bring the society more people that are mature and conscious enough to recognize what they have to do to escape from poverty and how they live to make benefits for themselves and communities. Briefly, educational policy should be a prerequisite to develop a nation. To sum up, a nation would be rich if it had the high-quality human resources. For this reason, education is one of the issues that need to be invested most for helping poor countries growth the economy beside the international trade links.
