… rural places. To these communities, top-down decisions appear most ineffective when it comes to attaining sustainable development. The majority of unindustrialized nations, particularly african nations, often vigorously adopt non-participatory decision-making strategies.

I would cheer for Portugal at the World Cup and things like that, for example, when I don’t know if I had any reason to. I started to become quite curious about this place that was on one hand a fairly normal Western country that seemed like it would be familiar in many respects to my own life, but on the other hand also seemed to be quite a bit different – slower pace of life, high family orientation, less work-obsessed than one might normally find……
