Abstract
The goal of this presentation is to demonstrate the research regarding foreign aid. We will present how foreign aid is received in the nations of Russia, Afghanistan, and Haiti to incorporate three different regions of the world. First, we will define foreign aid by reviewing its history in comparison to how it is practiced today. We will also look at why the United States initially decided to provide foreign aid to the referenced countries, but how the original intent actually caused issues and concerns within these countries and provided little to no actual help. In addition, we will expose the problem of dependency the discussed countries have on the United States due to the current process of foreign aid. Lastly, we will present four questions to ask when researching the best methods of cross-cultural aid and a suggested call to action. By reviewing the different aspects of foreign aid, we hope to educate our audience on ways it can either weaken or empower receiving countries.
