Literal language means the author is meaning exactly what's being said. Figurative language uses personification and metaphors to describe something. 

Literal language: I fell down the stairs.

Figurative language: I slept like a log. (You didn't really sleep like a log)

Brain drain is not a bane for a developing country
Inga [223]

Answer:

I am debating against the motion.

Explanation:

Brain drain refers to the emigration of highly skilled and educated individuals from their countries of origin which are either underdeveloped or developing to developed countries. Developing countries like India which produce millions of graduates in a year and whose per capita income is quite low suffer negatively for this. Brain drain is a problem for developing countries for the following reasons:

1. It results in further weakening of the economy: Skilled workers are trained from the limited resources generated in weak economies. For there to be a balance, they are expected to give back to the economy. When this does not happen there is a further weakening of the economy which, in turn, makes it harder for the economy to progress.

2. Lack of access to qualified personnel who can positively impact the economy: Citizens of a country usually have their interest at heart. But when intelligent citizens who should contribute and provide solutions to the government and the economy leave the country, there are negative short and long term consequences. One short term effect is that access to good personnel (for example, health practitioners) is limited for the teeming population and this could result in deaths while in the long run, the country experiences stunted growth.

The few reasons stated above prove that truly, brain drain is a bane for developing nations.
