8) Foreign aid from developed countries in the West has for long been touted as an important tool to help the poorest people in Asia and Africa lead better lives. Examine the ethical issues involved in these foreign aids to poor countries. (150 Words)

1. Foreign aid should not be solely for the benefit of the developed country.  For e.g. recently there have been a lot of critcisim on China sgning FTA with maldives. (that it will acquire the assets in Maldives)
2. Foreign aids must respect humanitarian agenda, it should shun nuclear proliuferation issues
3. It can howver embrace the idea of fighting ill forces such as Taliban bu funding to other terrorist states (as US funds Pakistan to fight Taliban in Afghanistan.: this is seen as ethical but Russia funding Pakistan to propagate communist agendas is not ethical)
4. It should be widely accepted by the society and international neighbours (so that there is no unrest and civil war situation, for e.g. funding to Syrian rebels by Russia is not accepted by USA, Saudi Arabia and other like minded groups
