Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #32575 Colonial Era
Instructions
At  the  end  of  the  colonial  era,  as  many  new  nations  gained  independence,  relative  levels  of  economic  development  became  an  important  criterion  by  which  to  distinguish  between  countries.  The  former  colonial  powers  and    parts  of  the  world  generally  became  known  as  advanced  industrial,  or  developed,  countries,    former  colonies  and  poorer  nations  became  known  as  less  developed,  or  more  positively,  developing  countries.  Critics  of  the    distribution  of  wealth  across  the  globe  highlighted  the  role  which  wealth  creation  in  some  places  had  played  in  impoverishing  poorer  nations  and,  rather,  described  them  as  actively  underdeveloped.  The  question  as  to    economic  change  is  developing  or  underdeveloping  countries  remains  a  vital  issue,  as  the  debate  over  sweatshops  highlights.
