Third World countries often mistakenly decide to permit rapid industrialization. When this industrialization occurs, many new factories open, and workers get jobs. Unfortunately, many of these new jobs are not permanent. The leaders of an industry want their factories to be as productive as possible, and they will do anything to achieve that goal. Whenever they can, they take advantage of automation, which means that workers are replaced by a more efficient machine. As a result, a worker trained for a specific factory job becomes unemployed, and the profits of the factory owners are maximized.

Many experts in Third World economics are concerned about rapid industrialization because it brings problems as well as progress. Citizens of these economists, the leaders of Third World countries should be aware of the dangers as well as the advantages of rapid industrialization.

W: I find it hard to say  “no” than “yes”.

M: Me, too, and most people do. Sometimes when we are at home relaxing for a couple of days, our friends ask us to offer some help. We usually agree reluctantly.

W: Yes. Many people say “yes” to this kind of requests. People tend not to consider their own interests and feelings, but are often angry with themselves afterwards.

M: That’s true. Saying “no” requires courage and considerable practice. For people are afraid saying “no” risks losing the friendship of the person asking for help.

W: But in fact, rejecting a request can even help to keep a relationship last longer.

M: Yes, I agree. It is better to say “no” sometimes.
