Before we proceed kung ano nga ba ang global north and south alamin muna
natin kung ano nga ba ang word na global
GLOBAL - "global" refers to something that involves or affects the entire world or a
very large part of it, rather than being limited to a specific region or locality. It
implies a perspective or scale that goes beyond individual countries, communities,
or boundaries. When something is described as global, it often means that it has a
widespread, far-reaching, or universal impact, influence, or significance. Global
issues, for example, could include worldwide environmental concerns,
international economic trends, or matters that affect people and nations across
the globe.
GLOBAL SOUTH – It refers to the group of countries located primarily in the

southern hemisphere of the Earth, especially in Africa, Latin America, Asia, and
Oceania. These nations are often characterized by factors such as lower income
levels, developing economies, and in many cases, historical experiences of
colonization and imperialism. Always remember that Global South is not just
about geographical location but also encompasses a range of social, economic,
and political issues related to development, inequality, and the historical legacies
of colonialism.
GLOBAL NORTH - refers to a group of countries that are typically located in the
northern hemisphere of the Earth, including regions such as North America,
Europe, and parts of Asia. These countries are often characterized by factors like
higher income levels, advanced industrial economies, and significant political
influence on the world stage. Global North isn't solely about geographical
location; it also encompasses various social, economic, and political factors that
distinguish these countries from those in the Global South, including historical
factors like colonialism and imperialism.
NORTH SOUTH DIVIDE - The "North-South divide" is a term used to describe a

significant global gap in wealth, development, and access to resources between
two broad groups of countries: those located in the northern hemisphere (often
referred to as the "Global North") and those in the southern hemisphere (referred
to as the "Global South").
Countries in the Global North are typically more economically advanced, have
higher standards of living, better infrastructure, and greater access to education,
healthcare, and technology. They also tend to wield more political influence on
the world stage.
On the other hand, countries in the Global South often face challenges related to
poverty, underdevelopment, limited access to basic services, and political
instability. Many of these disparities can be traced back to historical factors like
colonialism, which left lasting economic and social inequalities in many Global
South nations.
THIRD WORLD is an outdated and somewhat problematic classification used

historically to categorize countries based on their level of economic development
and political alignment during the Cold War era. It was coined during a time when
the world was largely divided into three groups:
1. The "First World" referred to Western capitalist democracies, primarily led

by the United States and its allies.
2. The "Second World" referred to countries in the Eastern Bloc, led by the
Soviet Union and its allies, which were characterized by socialist or
communist governments.
3. The "Third World" encompassed countries that didn't align with either of
the first two groups. These countries were often newly independent
nations, many in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, and they varied widely in
terms of their political systems, economic development, and social
conditions.
The term "third world" became associated with negative stereotypes like poverty
and instability, leading to its decline in usage. Nowadays, more respectful terms
like "developing countries" or "global South" are preferred to describe nations
with economic and social challenges. These terms better acknowledge the diverse
situations of countries outside the highly developed Western and Eastern Bloc
regions.
DIFFERENCE OF SOUTH AND THIRD WORLD
The economic focus in the Global South primarily centers on addressing poverty,
fostering sustainable development, and promoting industrialization, infrastructure
development, and international trade to achieve economic growth and improve
living standards.
While, third world is linked to economically underdeveloped countries or regions,

often marked by poverty, limited industrialization, and various socioeconomic
difficulties.
The term "Global South" carries political and cultural connotations of countries
historically marginalized in global affairs, often associated with issues of post-
colonialism, development challenges, and cultural diversity.
The term "third world" historically held political and cultural connotations, often
associated with countries facing economic underdevelopment, political instability,
and the legacies of colonialism and imperialism.
The main difference between "Global South" and "Third World" is in their
connotations and usage. "Global South" is a contemporary and neutral term used
to describe less economically developed or politically influential countries,
emphasizing their common challenges and diversity across regions like Africa,
Latin America, Asia, and Oceania. In contrast, "Third World" carries historical
baggage, originating from the Cold War and implying poverty, instability, and
underdevelopment. Due to its negative associations and lack of precision in
describing economic and political conditions, "Third World" is now less favored in
modern discussions, with "Global South" preferred for its more respectful and
precise portrayal of countries facing economic and developmental issues.
Northern Hemisphere
