A WORLD OF REGIONS

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

1. Cold War
2. Second World
3. Global North and Global South
B. INSIGHTS (What new insights or learning did you gain from the topic?)

1. Before reading the material/ understanding the lesson, I thought that third world
countries are only regarded as the ones that are currently in the stage of developing
every aspect.
However, reading the material/ understanding the lesson, I now think/ realize that
countries in the third world can also be determined as improved ones.

2. Before reading the material/ understanding the lesson, I thought that the division of
Global North and Global South was made just to classify the countries for being in
the northern or southern part.
However, reading the material/ understanding the lesson, I now think/ realize that
such division has its purposes; to make a stand and solutions to those common
problems and to have equality all around the world.

3. Before reading the material/ understanding the lesson, I thought that the conflict
between the black and white people has nothing to do with their country’s
economic dimensions.
However, reading the material/ understanding the lesson, I now think/ realize that
racial character has always been linked to the economic differences of the Global
North and Global South people.

C. QUESTIONS (What questions would you want answers for? Or vague areas you want
explanation more?)
1. In 15 years, do you think Philippines can be classified as First World Country? Why
do you think so?
