I watched the TV programme above. It was very interesting. I didn’t know the situation in poor countries. They have to cut budget for education and social welfare in order to pay back a lot of debt to rich countries and international organizations. Globalisation is good for rich countries but bad for poor countries. Poor countries are getting poorer and poorer. Rich countries might be wealthy because of the poor countries.
