SUMMARY
Inequality does not only exist in our community, in our society, in our country
but also among countries.
There are countries that are economically matured and more powerful than
other countries and basically ends up to become influential in the global
community.
Countries with many resources tend to have more power. Countries that send
official development assistance (ODA) in the form of loans and grants are in the
position to dictate their policy conditions.
