LESSON 6: GLOBAL DIVIDES
The terms Global North and the Global South, and First World
and Third World are used interchangeably in common conversation.
Though these two sets of concepts are related, they are actually different.
The labels First World, Second World, and Third World came into
popular use during the Cold War between the capitalist camp led by the
US, UK, and their allies; and the socialist side led by the Soviet Union
and its allies.
The capitalist camp was dubbed as the First World, while the
socialist side was labeled the Second World. The other countries of the
world comprising much of Asia, Africa and Latin America were called the
Third World. These countries are mostly former colonies of Western
powers, but nevertheless reluctant to be overtly included in either camp.
