“Are the global North and the global South dependent on one another?”

An unequal balance of power between affluent first-world and impoverished


third-world countries.

Two economic sectors span throughout the globe, are the North, and the South of the
world While the Global North represents economically developed societies such as Europe,
North America, Australia, Israel, and South Africa, among others, the Global South represents
economically underdeveloped countries such as Africa, India, China, Brazil, and Mexico, among
others. As the photo presents two sides polar to each other, you can see how pretty to live in the
world up north while the below south is trying to barely even survive with the color as well to
differentiate the blue and yellow palette.

Sustainability highlights the global ecology's growing boundaries. The Global South is in
excruciating pain because it has no idea where this crisis is heading, let alone how to move
ahead. The strategy and philosophy of efforts in the Global South should be more realistic and
optimistic. While we acknowledge that there is a significant development gap between the
Global North and the Global South, the Global North economies are thriving, while the Global
South economies are still struggling to find their footing.

The Global South relies on and is susceptible to the Global North. There is an imbalance
of power between the Global North and the Global South. The Global North is stronger than the
Global South. This unequal strength is reflected not only in the Global North's dominant power
to control the pattern of international trade and the agreements that govern it but also in their
ability to frequently dictate the terms under which technology, foreign aid, and private enterprise
are shifted the Global South. This has played a role in the maintenance of poor living standards,
increasing unemployment, and expanding economic disparity in the Global South contrasted to
the Global North. (Or) //The Global South relies on and is susceptible to the influence of the
Global North. The Global North's dominant power has played a role in the maintenance of poor
living standards, increasing unemployment, and expanding economic disparity in the Global
South. This unequal strength is reflected in the pattern of international trade and the agreements
that govern it.//
