Conclusion-Problems

• Economic- The communist government puts the economy in a poor state, and with this government, the economies of several countries will continue to be poor.

• Political- The government will continue to control everything and the problems will continue to stay the same, if not increase. The leaders of these nations are not helping the progress of the country in any possible way.

• Social- None of the people of these countries have freedoms. Their lives are controlled completely by the government and because of this, these people have no way of how to stabilize their lives on their own. This is horrible for the current generation and the upcoming because they have no control over their lives.

Conclusion- Solutions

• Economic- The economic state of countries could be changed by the communist nation increasing global trade and letting it’s citizens have more power.

• Political- The political problems of these countries lie in the communist foundations of them. Allowing elections and more human rights would greatly help this problem.

• Social- Not only are the human rights of these countries terrible they can barely be found if any at all. Allowing more control by the people and improving the political and economic status’ of these countries could eliminate these problems. The greying and overpopulation could be solved with more government kept laws and incentive to the people.
