This is a long article, but VERY interesting. I hope you will read the whole thing. Two videos are in the article at the source and they are very good too.
Somebody has got way too much time on her hands.
2nd World Relegation - bump for later...
Are there no capital letters in the second world?
When the term “Third World” was coined, the First World was the developed capitalist countries and the Second World was the Communist countries (or maybe just the more economically developed ones like Russia and the Warsaw Pact countries).
“One world is enough, for all of us!”
If that map of the world had been done in 1950, the number for Africa would have been 9. Africa has doubled its share of the world’s population in the last 75 years.
Just curious, how did a dead corpse get on a NY subway train?
It is interesting, thank you for posting.
I once went (15+ years ago) to Chile and saw a generally high trust society where people give correct change, honest answers, and don’t try to rip you off. A bus ride across the Andes and you can find a place where many seemed to have their hand out and make attempts at trickery. I did find some helpful people there also.
An amazing perspective of what lies in store for America.
Might explain why most do not want to admit Puerto Rico as a state.
Thank you for posting this. Very insightful. I’d quibble about semantics (”second” world), but the thinking is solid and agrees with what we see around us every day. I can even live with the lack of capitalization 😄.
From the 80’s and older, the Second World referred to the Soviet and Soviet-influenced countries. So...it kind of fits.
