Global Divides: The North and The South

The document discusses the concepts of the Global North and South. It describes how during the Cold War, countries were divided into the First, Second, and Third Worlds based on their economic status and political alignment. Now, the terms Global North and South are used instead, with the North generally referring to developed, industrialized countries and the South referring to developing, non-industrialized countries. The North and South are shaped by differences in definitions of poverty, wealth, development, and globalization. Regionalization divides areas into smaller segments while globalization promotes more integration across borders.
