I'd like to question to discussion about image in lecture sep.19(monday).

Discussion was "the image would be good representation of how developed a given part of the world is. would you agree? why or why not?"

Beyond the discussion "agree", our lecture was mainly discussed about only the economic aspect in part "developed"

However, I think the word "developed" doesn't only mean the economic aspect.

So, I agree the image represent economic "developed" aspect but, I think the image doesn't represent the aspect as " culture, mind(spirit like 'happy'), so on"

For example, Korea is objectively country progressed in economy. (Korea is 11 rank in OECD.)

So, Can you see that South Korea is developed country? I don't agree such thinking.

Korea have dishonorable title like 'suicide rate 1 rank', 'wage inequality 2 rank' (The United States is 1 rank), 'gender wage differences 1 rank'

Do you think these country is developed?

I hope it is taken notice not only economic aspect but the mental aspect in the mean "developed".
