Will Latin America catch up soon with the rest of the developed world?
I am American but I am very interested on the Latin American culture, i find it pretty amazing. I was going over the history of some Latin American countries and I’ve seen that most of them (not all) are progressing and stepping up in the game of becoming industrialized. For ex., Mexico and Brazil are now considered industrialized countries; and others like Colombia, Chile, and Argentina are near to do so as well. Also many are building skycrappers (especially Panama, Colombia, and Chile) and new infrastructure.
Will Latin American countries become developed countries soon???
I believe they will. You can see greater strides now in almost all of the Latin countries. How soon? You need to remember that the “developed” countries of the world are still moving forward as well (who is to decide if it is for the better?), so it may be a long time, if ever, that some of the poorer ones ever actually catch up to those well to do countries. I am a US citizen living in Honduras and am old enough to remember when most of the USA was not too much more advanced in many ways than Honduras is today.
