If it is reasoned that the degree of development of one country is not just gauged by all the services available for its all citizens, e.g. the number of gas stations on a block, and is considered that the events of a nation are defined not by rules but by men; then the concept of development shall be re-defined.
Attempting on this, we can conceptualize that the level of development of a country is determined by its citizens, above all, by their aim of defining an era and by being capable of adjusting themselves to changes.
So, this concept might provide information to anyone to analyse whether nation is underdeveloped or not -and not justly by studying its figures as its Gross Domestic Product.
Having it in frame, is it enough -for one who observes the behaviour of the habitants of a country- to discern its grade of development?
The following case, where is exposed the pattern of comportment of the employees of two different countries, will be an outstanding example to attempt to determine the degree of advance of a society.
In America, one of the important energy companies like Enron declared bankruptcy, which meant for its employees the loss of their jobs and their life savings. Enron's accounting practices surfaced -phoney profits and concealed billions of dollars on its balance sheet, which brought as consequence the huge drop in its share and credit rating.
But some employees did not rally against this bad situation. In fact, more than three hundred women applied -though ten were selected- for a playboy's offer to show themselves bare.
"What happened to Enron was a valley in my life, but playboy is definitely a peak," said Carey Lorenzo, a former New York City sales representant, who appeared in the magazine's edition.
But, the 15 minutes of fame were not only for women; men were on the list as well. Playgirl made its offer too.
For Michele Zipp, the editor of magazine, said, "Playgirl's offered more money than they made on their stock options."
However, things were not handled in the same way in another part of the world. Why? Because there was no a magazine like playboy or playgirl? Or the franchise of the playboy in that country was not interested in offering such an opportunity to a bunch of dismissed workers? Perhaps they were not appealing for a magazine who exalts beauty as this does.
One worker literally crucified himself at the gates of the warehouse of the bottle company of one famous soft drink in that country as a protest against the boarding which has avoided its liabilities with almost eleven thousands ex-workers.
Could we determine with society is ahead for the behaviour of former Enron's employees or for the one who put himself on a cross in representation of his fellow workers?
