RE: How Do You Promote/Present Steemit To People/Students/Youths, Living In Developing Nations In General?

in #steemit7 years ago

Yes. You points are special and your expertise shows. All you have said is correct and i understand that you are not stereo-typing. Exactly, what i am saying in this post, developing countries are in a better position to exploit the beauty steemit but they do need eye-openers like this post and your special comment here. Sometimes, the developing nations deaden people and except you are strong and stubborn, you start to see yourself as a victim and present yourself as one and lose out on beauty, foresight and vision. Currently, i am helping with growth of steemit in the Philippines and apart from the underlying message in this post for everyone, this post was targeting to inspire and sorta wake up or serve as mirror to the community we are growing. #steemgigs is also targeted to accomplish this cause among other things. If you read through the other comments, you will notice that this post has helped as an eye-opening and i am hoping your beautiful comment here will help further!

Hi thanks for the swift response, I'll have a look through other comments for sure. Just on the notion of 'victimhood' in developing countries I'm more inclined to think that growing up in poverty actually tends to more resilience and creativity - there's been a lot of extremely good documentaries on the BBC and C4 outlining this in recent years. Here in the west, where kids have got everything (and thus everything to lose!) there is a lot of anomie and passivity. Good to discuss!

Yes, it does and that happened in my case but it takes sheer stubbornness; "too lazy to quit". Not many go this route. Again it depends on the nation and in many cases the genes. Some developing nations, do embrace suffering and become laid back, less becomes normal. This is a special topic. In general for me, it has nothing to do with nation. The substance of the human transcends all that. There are special people from any nation and in every case, there has been conscious effort to allow your human loving aspect to reign.
