Whether to Join Capitalism or Not?
Whether to
Join Capitalism or Not?
As
we know, in this world consists of people who are sufficient and needy. Just as
we talk about "Developing Countries", there are still many people out
there who live without food, drink and education. Thirty-eight years ago the
world was divided into 3 worlds. The first world consisted of rich countries
from western Europe, North America and Japan, while Soviet countries and nearby
countries were different worlds. But the third worlds that are "developing countries" must choose which country they go to.
People
in developing countries are increasing their economies as well as developed
countries that are both competing to advance the economy. Like the current era
that is increasingly changing with increasingly sophisticated technology that
requires all countries in the world to develop their respective economies. If a
country has less technology, the country will be left behind from other
countries. So they have to work harder to not be left behind from other
countries. Where if we look at other developed countries, they compete with
each other to create technology that is more sophisticated than other
countries.
Competition
for all countries to build a better economy will last a long time. Such
competitions will not last for 5 to 6 years but will continue as long as humans
are still alive. In other words, if developing countries want to build their
economy better by changing the economic system used by developed countries.
Every economic system certainly has its own advantages and disadvantages. Just
like the capitalist system used in developed countries in Europe. There will be
a lot of competition between parties in the country. Will the competing parties
be better in that country? Not all countries that use the capitalism system
will be better, as well as people who are not strong enough to surrender to the
situation so that those who give up will be left behind by others. So it will
be feared that parties that are not strong enough to compete will be left
behind compared to people who can compete so that it will hamper the progress
of the country itself.
What
about developed countries that use the capitalism system? Countries that use
the capitalism system, the economy is held by the private sector that will make
competition between other private parties in the country. With this
competition, the private sector competes to sell products of better quality at
a price that is definitely much better. This has caused people in the country
to use expensive items with definitely better quality, resulting in people
working harder to get these good quality items. So that the country that uses
the capitalism system is more advanced in terms of quality of goods and also
richer in the economy. So that competition between developed countries results
in developing countries will not remain silent to compete to advance their
country's economy.
In
my opinion, if we have to choose which world to follow, we should follow a
system of capitalism that can make people grow. It is very clear if we see
countries in Europe, which can be said to be developed countries. But the
question is "What will you do to your country?" We can see clearly
that in my country "Indonesia" which can be said of developing
countries can become a developed country? The answer is can be, if people and the
government change their mindset like developed countries think. It starts from
the eradication of corruption which causes state money to be spent by
irresponsible people who do not think about its impact on the state and also on
the people in the country itself. As in Indonesia, we can see poverty
everywhere that makes one lack education enough to compete with people who have
more education. So that the unemployment rate in the country increased which
resulted in a decline in the country's economy which caused the country to lag
behind other developed countries.
What
will we do for the next generation later? As a young generation we must have a
more advanced mindset as well as people in developed countries. Even though we
are young and do not have much experience, we can learn from various media such
as books or the internet. Because knowledge does not look at age, so who learns
it first or has learned it will definitely be more advanced than someone who is
smart but has never learned it. This should make us thirsty for knowledge not
as slaves to what we find in this case is "technology" that makes
people become lazy to do something so that everything is only done using
android. If we review in more detail, it can be seen that developed countries
as more sophisticated technology makers will sell their goods to developing
countries so that developing countries will become consumer countries not as
producing countries which will cause the country's economy decrease. So that
when we are adults, we can practice it in our lives and teach it to the next
generation so that they can continue their efforts to advance our country.
