Do Developed Countries Use Developing Countries For Their Own Needs?

• Hey guys I have a really important question to ask and it's been on my mind for a good while, so I'm going to lay out absolutely everything thats troubling me I'd like as many opinions on the matter and what my political stance is in the world because lets be honest I have no clue about politics - I do however have a clue about wanting to do the right thing. Okay countries such as The UK, USA, Italy, Sweden, Germany etc... these are Developed countries and they are lovley to go to and have tonnes of things you could buy - Basically their amazing and beautiful places to go to. I always wonder though, apart from each individual countries history, how on earth do we stay so rich? For example the UK is a dot on the map yet its so rich! And I always think do we use poorer countries in order to stay rich? If thats the case what type of political party agrees with doing this? For instance say the states or the UK wants 1000 tonnes of a resource that Africa has or some other poor country. Would we buy all their resources for the cheapest possible amount? (i.e a pound or dollar per tone of whichever resource we want - P.S this is just an exagerated example I don't actually mean that, it's just to give an idea.) And do we put Tarrifs and Quotas on poorer countries like special tax things in order for us to remain rich and them to remain poor? because I beleive in order for a country to stay rich it has to make other countries poor like... I know that sounds terrible but thats the only thing that makes sense to me as to wh we're so rich... I hope that makes sense - basically do we con poorer countries for our own needs and thats why we are as rich as we are today? because for Britain to be a dot on the map and be as rich as it is I beleive its because of things like this that make us rich in the first place... If this is the case then I guess this is what capitalism really is... and I beleive thats wrong I beleive everyone should have the ability to have a life like us British and Americans do - but at the same time if we made everyone equal then we wouldn't have the things we so dearly love such as PC's, Starbucks. Telephones, Fashion the lot... Overall I think if we do in fact use poorer countries to our advantage and to remain rich and basically live lives like celebrities in comparison to people who have nothing then thats bull**** lol... but at the same time I Shouldnt be complaining because I'll admit I'll take everything I've got i just beleive its bad kinda... I would like opinions on what my political stance is in the world from what i've told I hope I don't aggravate anybody with this because I know people have very strong views on how politics should be... so if offenses have been made or implied i most certainly didn't mean anything offensive i just want Awnsers if we do in fact do what we do... i just think its immoral in a sense like ooh i could go on forever i hope you can awnser this messed up question thanks for reading it anyway =]]
