Sri Lanka is a developing nation that has made great strides in improving that status. The country is rated the highest in many aspects like education, health care and economy compared to other third world countries. Although Sri Lanka is rated the highest in these things, she still continues to improve in them, especially with education and health care. New programs are being administered constantly and Sri Lanka is always looking at how to improve them. By making improvements new problems arise, but Sri Lanka is taking one step at a time and adapting to the improvements that are being made. Sri Lanka still has its fair share of poverty, conflicts between the majority and the minority groups, but each day the country is improving. Sri Lanka has a very promising and optimistic future. After independence was gained, Sri Lanka has done so much to improve living conditions, lifestyle, culture, etc. These improvements are occurring, maybe slowly, but they are continuing on. Agriculture remains a major part of the economy and culture of Sri Lanka, but as time moves into the future, Sri Lanka is becoming more and more industrialized. Sri Lanka overall is rated one of the highest developing Nations in the world and hopefully she will continue on the path that has made this occured. Hopefully one day Sri Lanka will not be considered a developing nation, but a growing competitor in the world market.
