Describe the "three worlds" approach that is used to classify nations of the world
What will be an ideal response?
After World War II, the "three worlds" approach was introduced by social analysts to
distinguish among nations on the basis of their levels of economic development and
the standard of living of their citizens. First World nations were said to consist of the
rich, industrialized nations that primarily had capitalist economic systems and
democratic political systems. The most frequently noted First World nations were the
United States, Canada, Japan, Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand. Second
World nations were said to be countries with at least a moderate level of economic
development and a moderate standard of living. These nations included China, North
Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, and portions of the former Soviet Union. Third World nations
are the poorest countries, with little or no industrialization and the lowest standards of
living, shortest life expectancies, and highest rates of mortality.
