Is the US still a first world nation...?

Is the US still a first world nation...?
I am a student from Poland. I am currently researching for my politics thesis. The question I must ask you is this: Do you consider the US to be a first wold nation even though it has a black president, or do you now consider America to be third world? Any help will be appreciate!

So Poland is still racist then?

Of course it's a first world nation, who the hell would think it a third world nation because of the president?
3 :
Haha, the race of the president has nothing to do with the first-world, third-world classification. To answer your question more specifically, the coasts are first-world and the middle of the country is third-world.
4 :
Yes, but barely anymore.If China calls in its debt, we are done.
5 :
Lol.
6 :
Well technically it is not a first world nation, because that is not the accepted term anymore! Technically it is a More Economically Developed Country (MEDC) :)
7 :
the color of the president has nothing to do with whether or not a nation is considered to be a first world country.
8 :
for the moment, we are still first world. wait until BHO's first term to be over before we officially turn into a third world country.

Hi Jennifer. The skin color of the president does not determine the economic status of the nation. The US is still the richest nation on earth with the highest standard of living. That said, a few years ago I returned to southern California after many, many years abroad. Much of Los Angeles certainly looks like a third world country now - all the illegal immigrants seem to have trashed the place! My family had warned me, but I didn't believe it until I saw it with my own eyes. Heartbreaking, really heartbreaking.
10 :
Still 1st world, but we have a government that is doing everything possible to change that. We are heading in the direction of the USSR. Government control of everything. Then we'll be a 3 rd world nation of poor people.
11 :
In regards to technology, scientific research, education, value of currency,etc, the US is still regarded as a first world nation, however since the end of January 2009, we have been on a downhill slide and it is getting worse. That is what happens when a leader is not qualified for the position.
12 :
I am really beginning to wonder.
13 :
At the moment it is still a World power, will it remain so over the next three years, it is very questionable. But you must understand it has NOTHING to do with the fact a black man is the President, it has ALL to do with his policies and ideals and would make no difference if he was white and had the same beliefs.
14 :
Just because a country or territory has a "Black" president/leader does not make it a Third World country. The term Third World arose during the Cold War to define countries that remained non-aligned or neutral with either capitalism and NATO (which along with its allies represented the First World) or communism and the Soviet Union (which along with its allies represented the Second World). So you can thank the USSR for occupying Poland during WWII and keeping it from becoming a "Third-World" country. And by the way, the US will never be a Third-World, no matter how economically depressed it gets.
15 :
Since there is a Black in the presidency, it is below Mexico now. Mexico is Second world i think.
16 :
It is at the moment but fast rushing to third world status.

Good music for international foreign exchange party?

Good music for international foreign exchange party?
I am hosting a party for all of the foreign exchange students in my high school. I am responsible for providing the music, and am wondering what songs besides the popular music here from America I should play...any top songs from the countries Spain, Portugal, Poland, Germany, and France are what I am looking for. I know that most of the songs from the US are popular in other countries too, but I am looking for songs either in their language or just not American. Thanks, and any other fun ideas would be a help too!

Those "mind changers" really only exist on Y!A and not in real life. No one would pay tuition fees, flight tickets, accomoddation in Switzerland and then just change her/his mind. You need to get back home to apply for new student visa from the Polish Embassy. http://bazateleadresowa.poland.gov.pl/?document=21 ..
2 :
You cannot go to another country as you wish, if you were accepted in Switzerland ? You need to start the process all over again from your home country.

I need advice for teaching the Callan method of english for foreign speaking learners?


I need advice for teaching the Callan method of english for foreign speaking learners?
I am living in Warsaw Poland and have a second interview with an english language school that mainly uses the Callan method. I have taught here previously at a private school for children but have no idea how to begin teaching using the Callan manuals. My new job will involve teaching college age individuals and professionals. I have seen the manuals but need some insight as to how to use them and keep the students welcoming my lessons and leaving satisfied that they have learned something useful.

There are actually many sites on the web that pertain to the Callan Method of teaching English. There are some PDF files that will help you and some schools in London that can also lend you assistance.
