A. DIFFICULT CONCEPTS (What concepts did you find difficult to understand?)

1. Cold War 4. Global North and Global South
2. Economic blocs
3. Global City

B. INSIGHTS (What new insights or learning did you gain from the topic?)

1. Before reading the material/ understanding the lesson, I thought that

there was only one labeled in countries which is a third world country. 
However, reading the material/ understanding the lesson, I now think/ realize that
there are three labels of western capitalist countries which are the first world
countries which are associated with rich, industrialized countries, the second world
countries and the third world countries which are the developing countries.  

2. Before reading the material/ understanding the lesson, I thought that

the countries that are labeled in a third world country have the same status in terms of
economy.
However, reading the material/ understanding the lesson, I now think/ realize that
countries that are labeled in the third world country have different levels of economic
stability. Some of the countries are relatively poor, but many are not. 

3. Before reading the material/ understanding the lesson, I thought that

the terms Global South and Global North are simply terms that divides the countries.
However, reading the material/ understanding the lesson, I now think/ realize that
the terms Global North and Global South are a way for countries in the South to make
a stand about the common issues, problems, and even causes in order to have equality
all throughout the world. 

C. QUESTIONS (What questions would you want answers for? Or vague areas you want

2. Why did the second world country become null and void after the cold war?
3. What should third world countries like the Philippines do to become a first world
country?
