I would not know because I have never been in a developing country.
But I can tell you that every country is different... even amongst the developed ones.
Each country has its own culture... and it is that culture which shape the human character. While our laws are similar... our values and the way we do things are different.
But this is changing slowly. Over the past 25 years... the western countries are copying each other to become one. The USA had a huge influence through its hollywood propaganda machine to turn teenagers in the western world into Americans. Even so... the war in Iraq has created a downturn in the worshipping of America.

Aussies2007,
From some of your posts, I got feeling that you didn't like America. I don't know why? Do you have any particular reason?

People get that impression...
The fact is that there is a lot of things I like about America... and a lot of things I don't like about America. It sort of balance itself out 50/50.
I don't have to be diplomatic about it. I say it like I see it. Freedom of speech and all that jazz.
If anyone want to accuse me of bashing America... prove me wrong before telling me that I hate America... because I don't.

In 1999 I went to Ghana Africa, this was my first trip to developing country. They are "Relational" people, they don't have much but what they have they share with one another, a typical scene is two friends sharing a bottle of coke in their shack, I means shack, there is open sewage around the homes, I could see my shower water going down from the studio. They depend on God for every thing, so prayer is an essential part of their life. Some thing we over look in US, and issues like abortion, when I told them we abort babies because people don't want them, they gasp and are speechless, how could the most advance country in the world do such a cruel thing. At night from 7pm -10pm they sell electricity to the next country, the sell everthing at night by candle lite, walking for miles in the dark till midnight. I felt so guilty ordering my food from the staff, they make meal stretch for several days, while we order food for just one meal, they can't understand why we eat more than one meal a day. One thing I din't like was level of coruption in Ghana, we had to bribe the officals to leave the country.

markmiyashiro,
Thanks for answering my posting. Yeah... I can imagine what you're talking about. They must gasp about abortion. Developing countries have similar problems including corruption, bribery, low sanitation, bad infrastructure, etc. However, those problems can also be found in the developed countries although the level of those things are not rampant like in the developing countries.
With regard to human character, I do think that there is no much different between developed and developing countries. For instance, people still like gossips both in developed and developing countries (LOL).

One thing about Third world countries, how they handle sczeohphenia, they lack medications but they treat the mentally Ill with compassion, the whole community helps to take care of the mentally Ill, some thing Japanese need to realize, they don't austricism they, but give them low stress task for work, making life more meaningful to the Mentally Ill. It's interesting how bad it is in Japan, US, compared to Tonga, Samoa.

Hi there, what's been up to lately buddy?
What you mean Human Characters buddy? the people itself in developed and developing countries?
Well i think yes, people in developed countries and people in developing countries are different.
In some ways they are different?
Well, people in Developed Countries are mostly mold with many advanced things that happened in their lives as they are living in that countries.
They are more advance i think, they are proud ofcourse, and some of them are getting rude by being in that country i may say.
While the people in Developing Countries are still trying to make their lives more productive and more convenient.
They are quite innocent and not updated with new technologies.
But hoping that these countries will join it's forces for easy living and make a good environment or should a say a BETTER WORLD.
Have a nice day ahead a happy posting and earning here in Mylot and Godspeed.
