Stop being so PC!

In development studies, increasingly common terms include 'Minority World' or 'Global North' in reference to developed countries, and 'Majority World' and 'Global South' in reference to developing countries. I tend to find the 'Global North/South' tag a little funny though, seeing as Australia is considered to be in the Global North, and China is thought to be in the Global South.

As an Iraqi I feel shameful for living in a country such as Iraq

3rd world country is actually depressing me as a nation because we people are a lot more happier and helpful and the other side first world countries are like acting that they care or whatever at last there are no such thing as third world and first world all is about money wealth power and intelligence. i am not being kinda rude but when thirld world have also same as first than we also have that kind of attitude towards others but hey we can be uplifted and called ourself a first world by doing great as west so called first world haha u know...

The countries that are exploited to the ad nauseam in the name of capitalism and colonialism, but are never accounted for the burglary of the wealth from those very nations!

this video was useless

It refers to the Cold War. Third world were colonies and neutral countries, second world was Communist and Socialist Countries, and first world was NATO and other U.S.-Aligned countries. You're welcome.
