Reaction:
Rich countries are science rich
Poor countries are science poor

I agree with the statement "rich countries are science-rich and poor countries are science-poor". This is due to the fact that science principles are behind the success of all the products and services that the people make use of which makes a country rich. This goods and services are direct product of science and technology.
Science and technology make a country rich. The growth of science has brought not only changes in ideas about the physical world but also a transformation of society. If a country is rich in science and technology, the people benefit from these by the efficient products and enhancement of processes.
