Most of the wealthy countries are in the northern hemisphere plus Australia and Japan, which is found in the Southern hemisphere. The following countries are mostly considered the wealthiest and most educated with a high standard of living; Canada, USA, Britain, and Germany, are just a few of the most developed and wealthy countries in the world. Examples of the poorest countries are; Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and Haiti just to name a few. They are poor, because they have either been in civil wars or do not have the stability to develop a high standard of living.
Relevance:
Rich countries consume much more resources then their fair share. Therefore, poor countries are unable to provide their citizens with these decent living conditions because there aren’t any affordable resources.

Along with that explanation, developing nations also typically have a Human Development Index of less than 0.5 according to the Human Development Reports office.

    All over the world, disparities between the rich and poor, even in the wealthiest of nations is rising sharply. Fewer people are becoming increasingly “successful” and wealthy while a disproportionately larger population is also becoming even poorer. There are many issues involved when looking at poverty. It is not simply enough (or correct) to say that the poor are poor due to their own (or their government’s) bad governance and management. In fact, you could quite easily conclude that the poor are poor because the rich are rich and have the power to enforce trade agreements, which favor their interests more than the poorer nations. The book, The Bonfire of the Vanities by Tom Wolfe, illustrates clearly…
