Think. Pair. Share.

1. Have you ever been in an LEDC?
   If so, what was most striking to you?
   If not, which LEDC would you like to visit or are you curious about?
2. Imagine you live in a slum. Your family can only afford to buy either a private toilet or a mobile phone. For which option would you go? Why?
3. Try to imagine that you live in an LEDC and that you don’t have sufficient money for food and education. Would you try to migrate to another country where lots of things are new and unknown to you?
   
4. What makes you happy in life? Are these primarily material or nonmaterial things?
