do not have the same opportunities and amenities that affect the quality of life of the people

the point that President J. F. Kennedy once went and kicked a wall of the school that was
built in Micronesia because he was convinced that no school in the United States of America
was supposed to have the quality that they are supposed to have. One of the factors that
contributed to the bad state of Micronesia was the fact that the area was underrepresented.
The lush beauty of the tropical islands looks like a paradise of plenty, but its inhabitants are
still living in poverty. A team of representatives from the United Nations found out that the
people in Micronesia had discontentment and dissatisfaction. The people were complaining
about inadequate facilities in such a way that the quality of their lives was affected.
The inadequate representation is what affected Micronesia because their concerns could not
be effectively addressed by the major authorities in the world that could play an important
role in improving the facilities available in the territory and subsequently in the lives of the
people in the society. Once President J. F. Kennedy realized that the territory needed to be
developed so he sent various representatives to survey the area and come up with a master
plan of development that could improve the quality of lives of the people. The government
had two options that they could use in the development of the area that is use annexation or
let the people in the area live the way they want to, and the government would support them
when the need arises. It is important for the government to ensure that all the places in the
territory are growing at a very high rate. The president of the United States of America found
out that the best way to develop Micronesia was to improve the educational standards of the
people. The president figured out that the improvement of the educational standards in

Micronesia would automatically develop the area automatically. According to Ozturk (2008),
education plays an important role in development. The authors note that there is no country
that can achieve sustainable economic development without substantially investing in human
capital. They also argue that education makes people understand themselves and the world.
Some of the residents in Micronesia argued that if the government improved education either
locally or sponsor the people in the locality to study abroad, they would use their skills and
work together with the UN to develop the area. However, supporting people with education is
not a guarantee that they will develop their local communities. Some of them are likely to
relocate to the other areas, and in such a case, Micronesia would continue being
underdeveloped.
The best way to improve an area of residence is to take an overall approach in the
development process. For instance, it is important to promote education, build facilities, and
provide the people with the necessary resources that they need to enjoy their day to day lives.
The government has to conduct appropriate surveys that will enable them to come up with
ways of developing the area in the best way possible. The government has the authority to
access all the areas in a given territory, and they need to use the authority for the benefit of
society.
Comparison with the society today
There some parts in the society that are not at par with the others in terms of development.
Most of the time, the areas are underdeveloped because they are underrepresented and the
education levels are lower. The best way to deal with such a situation is to first of all sensitize
the people on the need for development and remind them of the role that they are supposed to
play as far as development is concerned. The government is also supposed to ensure that the

area is represented in leadership by installing leaders who will represent the needs of the
people in the society.
