Through the analysis of living standards, economic standing, and the current attempts at progress, we prove that Tanzania has the potential to improve the quality of life of its inhabitants but not to overcome its debt burden. The people of Tanzania are disadvantaged as a result of poor education systems, health problems, and a failure to meet basic needs. While Tanzania has made progress toward growth and development, it continues to be greatly hindered by its increasing debt burden and its poor standard of living. Definition of Development Every person on this earth is entitled to lead a stable and healthy life, without fear of natural or human-induced tragedies. It is the duty of the first world to aid the less-advantaged third world. The current economic and political status of developing nations is often the fault of the developed nations themselves. The instability of the third world has great potential to disrupt the global system and causes instability for the world as a whole. Creating a foundation focused on decent quality of life is the basis for any healthy society. Development, therefore, must consist of economic growth as well as improvement in standard of living, two factors which can be interrelated. Standard of living includes all factors that determine a person’s quality of life: having access to clean water, enough food, healthcare adequate enough to keep an entire family healthy, shelter, at least the most basic education, etc. Without such basic needs, a human is deprived of his or her capability to live a full and productive life. Though improving basic needs is paramount to development, a growing economy can facilitate this progress. E
