I have always maintained that though the western world is considered largely successful, there are a lot of elements in it that are not sustainable. And developing countries should not blindly move towards the western world with respect to these specific issues.
I saw this programme on National Geographic on remodelling your home to be environment friendly. Watch it here (1 2 3 4 5 6) and tell me that you do not notice the gradual but deliberate move of the western societies towards traditional societies in countries like India

Good one.
In fact, back in '07, on an evening walk with a friend in Stuttgart, we were discussing something pretty much like this; that while the West coming over it's long-known passions towards thoughts (spiritual) and practices (Hindu/Indian), us in India were completing the other half of the cycle. How so ironically!
True many developed countries don't have what we have : spirituality and a stable family/social structure.
It is just the "Grass is green on the other side " perception .Also the materialistic success of the western world is another factor that may want the developing countries to emulate them.
