While the economies of most Asian countries can be characterized as developing, there is enormous variation among them. The continent contains one of the world’s most economically developed countries, Japan, and several that are impoverished, such as Afghanistan, Cambodia, and Nepal. This variation has a regional dimension. Most of the countries of Southwest Asia fall within one of the middle-income categories as defined by the World Bank. Exceptions are Israel and the Persian Gulf states of Kuwait, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, which are considered high-income. Most of the countries of North and Central Asia fall within the low-income category, except Russia (Siberia), Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan, all considered lower-middle-income. Likewise, all the countries of South Asia are considered low-income, apart from lower-middle-income Sri Lanka. Except for China and North Korea, which are considered low-income, East Asia is the most prosperous part of the continent. Most countries in this region are considered upper-middle-income, and Japan is considered high-income. China, which has experienced dramatic rates of economic growth since the late 20th century, may be poised to achieve lower-middle-income status. Many of the countries of Southeast Asia have likewise achieved high rates of growth and have moved into one of the middle-income categories or even, in the case of Singapore and Brunei, into the high-income category. Exceptions are Myanmar (Burma), Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam, which remain within the low-income group.
The physical characteristics of an organism are passed on to its descendants through the mechanism elucidated by Mendel, still in the nineteenth century. But what about behavior? Is behavior, especially human behavior, also subject to these mechanisms? Anyway, would our personality be the result of nature (written in DNA) or of our creation (tradition and learning)? This explains the "nature-nurture question".
If a baby were handed over for adoption by an English-speaking family and adopted by a Spanish-speaking family, you would expect the baby to learn to speak Spanish. If so, it would offer insight into the question of creating nature about what leads to an individual's behavior. In this case, we realize that in the nature x creation discussion there are no winners, for we have found that nature acts through creation.

A nymph in ancient Greek folklore is a minor female nature deity. Different from Greek goddesses, nymphs are generally regarded as personifications of nature, are typically tied to a specific place or landform, and are usually depicted as beautiful maidens
In 1922, the U.S.-driven Washington Naval Conference resulted in the Nine-Power Treaty reaffirming the Open Door principles. In reaction to the Mukden Incident of 1931 in Manchuria and the Second Sino-Japanese War between China and Japan in 1937, the United States intensified its support of the Open Door Policy.
