Rich in the eyes of the worlds population?

That gives you the answer - the world's average salary is $1,480 (£928) a month, which is just less than $18,000 (£11,291) a year.

Dave, where do you get your data? It seems hard to believe that the average is so high. Do the superrich push it high so much?

And don't forget quality of life factors: education, college tuition costs and health care...

But the number is not that important here. My point is to find stereotype attribute rich for a country doesn't have to be super mega billionaire. It could be to be able to travel when you want simply don't have to think about the prices when going to the super markets, just grab what you like.

So it's basically stuff seen from observes of the world. The country measured has no say in it.

So I guess we are fortunate to be on the rich side of the scale...or atleast I am. Not that feel but when you look at hard numbers (atleast) I get another perspective.

Yes. Stereotypes can play that role. And that's important. But they can also cause damage by reinforcing misconceptions about people...

Well, it looks like the Note 7 ads are working as there is now a shortage of them. Maybe Jolla should try this strategy when marketing their next phone. Perhaps include a little xenophobia to boost local sales...

Given how athletes can create or reinforce folks stereotypical views, better add "sore loser" to the list of attributes of Americans as Hope Solo of the American women's Olympic soccer team has been suspended for 6 months for calling the Swedish women's team "Cowards" for using a defensive strategy to defeat the American team in Rio.
