Overdevelopment

Is there a point to where development leads? Who says a country is developed, developing or un-developed? I believe these are just names that people use to categorize countries according to wealth. Putting it simply, Who is rich who is poor? Isn’t this a rather snobbish way to classify people? Every culture has its way. Some may appear to “backwards” and when this occurs who is rich who is poor is clearly distinguished. I once heard a friend say “every country must develop eventually”. What is development? If it is the western sense of the word then why must everyone need to be like everyone else? In this case probably the United States because everyone seeks power and money and will suck up to the one in power. Buildings after buildings being constructed but when will it all end? Why are tall buildings so much wanted? Cover over as much green space as possible with concrete plant tree and grass in the confines of a concrete area with nothing but the tree trunk coming through the concrete. This the image of over development I see most of the world leading to. Everything man-made everything built up and no place in sight for any natural beauty to grow.
