From a global perspective, inequality is already proven to exist as we see different countries placed on different geographical areas on Earth. Yet, this does not prevent a coutry from thriving. Many believe that the allocation of natural resources plays a role in the economic growth of a country. This is undeniably true, but does this mean countries located in poor geographical areas succumb to their fate and blame mother nature for their poor economy? Take Switzerland for example. Despite being a landlocked country geographically divided between the Alps, the Swiss Plateau and the Jura, Switzerland is known to be one of the richest countries in the world by per capita gross domestic product, and has the highest wealth per adult of any country in the world. One main contributing factor is the innovations of the Swiss, along with a highly qualified labour force performing highly skilled work. Singapore too, despite being a country with a small area of land and finite resources, is recognised as a first- world country internationally. This is a result of competence, intelligent planning and friendly relations with other countries. From both examples, it is clear how such inequalities by nature can actually be eliminated as long as proper, insightful strategies are implemented to address the issue.
