Yesterday in class, we talked about is "the world" one or many ? You told us to write a response to that question. I wrote down that I think the world is made up of many worlds because in society today people live in different ways of living as well as having different cultures. Each country has their own world to live in and it is different from the rest of the countries. But again, I think the world is one as a nation because the countries help and support each other in a time of need as well as getting along with others and understanding each other in difficult situations. For example, the Americans helped the South Koreans to fight off the North Koreans in the Korean War. The Americans and the South Koreans do not want their country to be communist. ( At least that is what I heard and read.) So is "the world" one or many? In my opinion, I believe that the world is both. Just like I said before people have their own ways of living and countries help and support one another. I was wondering what kind of world that I wrote down. Is it world of people today or is it social world. I need your response to this.
Also in class, we talked about first, second, and third world countries. I never knew there was first and second countries before. I only heard third world countries before. Third world countries is the poor and economically underdeveloped countries of the world. First world countries is the high economic countries of the world. I have a question, what is a second world country. I have no idea about that. Can you explain that to me. I would appericate it. Thanks.

The notion of the first world, the second world, and the third world, which I mistakenly attributed to Gamal Abdul-Nasr, is roughly this: the first world is the industrialized, capitalist countries; the second is the world of planned economies in which the government controls the means of production (as in the USSR); the third is "underdeveloped" or "undeveloped" nations.
