DEVELOPED or DEVELOPING?




There've been numerous debates about the language of "developing" vs. "developed" referring to the distinctions between nations based on their relative wealth and poverty. Here,  Hans Rosling and Gapminder World has translated data into infographics demonstrating that what we might think about human progress has dramatically changed according to many indicators. As troubled as we are as a species, as chaotic as world affairs are at the moment, it's time to change our thinking toward a language of  collaboration and a recognition of our interdependence. Our most promising 'Gross World Product' from here on out, will be our ability to focus on our mutual nobility, women, men and children alike.
What language works in your backyard?
