Examples of Developed Nations in the following topics:
-
- An industrialized country, also commonly referred to as a developed country, is a sovereign state with a highly developed economy relative to other nations.
- Developed countries, which include such nations as the United States, France, and Japan, have higher GDPs, per-capita incomes, levels of industrialization, breadth of infrastructure, and general standards of living than less developed nations.
- Consequently, people living in developed countries have greater access to such resources as food, education, roads, and electricity than their counterparts in less developed nations.
- One measure of a nation's level of development is the Human Development Index (HDI), a statistical measure developed by the United Nations that gauges a country's level of development.
- Thus, HDI is often used to predict trends in a nation's development.
-
- While Brazil has not fully developed its industrial base and its economy has much room for expansion, it is a more powerful player in the global market than less developed nations, such as Haiti.
- An industrializing country, also commonly referred to as a developing country or a less-developed country, is a nation with a low standard of living, undeveloped industrial base, and low Human Development Index (HDI) relative to other countries.
- HDI is the measure of development that is used by the United Nations.
- Standards of living in industrializing nations are lower than in developed countries, but range widely depending on whether a nation is rapidly industrializing or is in decline.
- It also includes which nations are in a transitional moment between stages of development.
-
- For instance, Moveon dot org, a website founded in the late 1990s, was originally developed to encourage national politicians to move past the Clinton impeachment proceedings.
- Since that time, the group has developed into a major player in national politics in the U.S. and developed into a Political Action Committee or PAC.
-
- After years of political stability and reduced poverty, the UN sought to relabel Samoa as a developing nation, rather than a least developed country.
- HDI is the measure of development that is used by the United Nations.
- Low income (a three-year average gross national income of less that $905 USD per capita)
- Thus, the definition of LDCs is more rigid than the definition of developing/industrializing and developed/industrialized countries .
- Least industrialized nations are likely to be exploited by more developed nations for material and human resources, such as oil and cheap labor.
-
- When thinking about micro-, meso-, and macro-level social stratification, consider the following example: in a job interview, the candidate with the most charisma may have an advantage that makes him or her likely to get hired; when submitting a resume for a job, the person who is connected to the most prestigious educational or professional institutions is most likely to be called in for an interview; when searching for job openings, a person in a wealthy, developed nation is more likely than a person in a poor nation to find positions seeking applicants.
- While India provides cheap labor to foreign corporations, however, it also uses cheaper labor from poorer nearby nations as it develops its own industry, showing that it benefits from its semiperipheral position in the global hierarchy.
- For example, the small African nation of Cape Verde is significantly indebted to European nations and the U.S., and the majority of the nation's industry is controlled by foreign investors.
- First, some sociologists use a theory of development and modernization to argue that poor nations remain poor because they hold onto traditional attitudes and beliefs, technologies and institutions.
- South Korea, Taiwan, Mexico, Brazil, India, Nigeria, and South Africa) are less developed than core nations but are more developed than peripheral nations.

- Thus, the nation's position in the world economy has resulted in poverty for many of its citizens.

- Global crime, such as Transnational Organized Crime, refers to any crime that is coordinated across national borders.
- It can undermine democracy, disrupt free markets, drain national assets, and inhibit the development of stable societies.
- In doing so, it has been argued, national and international criminal groups threaten the security of all nations.
- Transnational organized crimes result in interrupting peace and stability of nations worldwide, often using bribery, violence or terror to meet their needs.
- Transnational Organized Crime is one of "The Ten Threats" warned by the High Level Threat Panel of the United Nations.
-
- As flows of people, money, products, and information increasingly transcend national boundaries, it becomes important to study health trends not just within nations, but from a worldwide perspective.
- In 1948, the member states of the newly formed United Nations gathered together to create the World Health Organization (WHO).
- For example, obesity can be linked to many other illnesses and deaths in high-income nations.
- It could also mean addressing the global economic patterns which result in healthcare workers having more incentive to work in developed countries and leaving developing countries short staffed.
- Finally, health interventions could advance by considering the relationship of national and international politics to the establishment of adequate education and healthcare systems.
-
- Identity formation is the development of an individual's distinct personality by which he or she is recognized or known.
- An example of national identity is the way in which Americans are united on the Fourth of July.
- In celebrating national independence, one feels a connection to all other Americans.
- Identity formation is the development of an individual's distinct personality, which is regarded as a persisting entity in a particular stage of life by which a person is recognized or known.
- Further, national identity is an ethical and philosophical concept whereby all humans are divided into groups called nations.
-
- A MNC differs slightly from a transnational corporation (TNC), because while MNC's are traditionally national companies with foreign subsidiaries, a TNC does not identify itself with one national home.
- These patents often allow multinational corporations to exercise a monopoly in the local economy, preventing local enterprises from developing.
- Using capital from developed countries, MNCs establish factories and plants in developing countries, where they can access raw materials and labor more cheaply.
- Finally, economic globalization may result in unequal economic relations of dependency between developing and developed countries.
- Instead of acting independently on behalf of the people in the country, governments of developing countries may act more in the interests of MNCs and of other nations on whom they rely on for aid.
