of course it is a bad thing, but it is not true, we have contributed something, the question is what exactly is it we have contributed.

1. Entertainment

"Wavin' Flag" is a song by Somali-Canadian artist K'naan from his album Troubadour. The song was a global hit, reaching the top ten in 19 charts around the world and was chosen as Coca-Cola's promotional anthem for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, hosted by South Africa. The English version was released as "Wavin' Flag (Celebration Mix)" by K'naan. A version of the song featuring will.i.am and David Guetta was targeted for international release. Many other bilingual and country-specific versions were released.

Many things but the list is too large to mention all of them.
