Explain the concept of Global North and South Divide

- The idea of the global north and south, sometimes known as the north-south divide in a global
context, refers to a collection of nations that have similar socioeconomic and political traits. The
phrase "Global South" is frequently used to refer to parts of Latin America, Asia, Africa, and
Oceania.

Discuss the characteristics of Global North and South in terms of :

Population- The economies of the Global South are the exact opposite of those of the Global North,
which are democratic, technologically advanced, wealthy, and aging as their societies drift toward zero
population growth.

Wealth- The world's wealthiest nations, with the most modern resources and technology, are found in
the global north, whereas those in the global south often have fewer resources and financial resources,
which makes their population more likely to live in poverty.

Standard of Living- The Global South appears to be a region of upheaval, war, conflict, poverty, anarchy,
and tyranny, in contrast to the Global North, which is characterized by enormous wealth, democratic
governance, peace and stability, and a perpetual propensity for human growth.

Industrial Development- States that are typically considered to be a part of the Global North tend to be
wealthier and less unequal, with significant infrastructure investments, cutting-edge manufacturing,
advanced technology, and energy sectors. Southern states typically have younger institutions and are
developing nations.

Political- The north starts to be associated with economic growth and modernization, while the south
stands for the former colonies that need assistance from international relief programs.
Is it fair if the country is categorized as "Global North" or " Global South"? Why?

- The labels "Global South" and "Global North" are incorrect and deceptive. First of all, they
describe things incorrectly, especially when they refer to abstract ideas like (economic)
development. Additionally, they are homogenizing, which hides significant distinctions between
nations purportedly belonging to the Global South and North groups.

What should we do in order for us to be categorized as "Global North"?

- States that are typically considered to be a part of the Global North tend to be wealthier and
less unequal, with significant infrastructure investments, cutting-edge manufacturing, advanced
technology, and energy sectors. Southern states typically have younger institutions and are
developing nations.
