I think culture, mindset, education have a lot to do with that. I've been to a lot of countries that aren't as nice as the DR, in fact there are a lot of places in America that aren't as nice as the DR. However I do think that being able to turn the light switch, turn on the faucet whenever you wish or need to, dialing 911 and be upset when the cops show up in 5 min instead of 3 and not be afraid of them. In the first world a power outage is breaking news. In that aspect these little things play a huge role in my opinion whether or not a country is first world; and the DR has a long way to go.
