    THE GLOBAL DIVIDES: THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH


    ACTIVITY SHEET

    I. Instructions: Describe and explain the difference between the Global North and Global South by completing the table
    with the necessary information.

    Region Description Examples Conclusion

    developed countries in the Western Europe, Japan, characterized by high levels
    world, primarily located in Australia, and New Zealand of economic development,

    II. Instructions: Search for a newspaper or magazine caricature that illustrates the idea/your answer to the question,
    “Are the Global North and Global South dependent on one another? Cut or print the caricature then paste it inside the
    box provided below. In the space, write a short explanation about it.
    The caricature that I chose shows how the global north and south are dependent on each other in terms of trading
    money and resources. The man whose barrel has soil and a plant (the Global South) provides resources for the man
    holding a barrel filled with money (the Global North) in exchange. What one lacks, the other provides. You can also see
    the indifference between the two when it comes to their clothes. The man representing the Global North wears a
    business suit, which may showcase that the exchange for them is business only, while the man representing the Global
    South is wearing what farmers or workers typically wear, which shows that the exchange for them is work.

    III. Instructions: Study the status of the different cities or towns in Albay. Choose one (1) city or town where you can
    observe or experience the scenarios in the Global North or Global South. Complete the table by listing specific scenarios.

    City/Town Legislative District Global North Global South Significant Conclusion

    IV. Instructions: Examine the gap between rural and urban areas across the country (Philippines). Based on the lens of
    Marxian, political, liberal and cultural, be able to explain how is that gap affected by globalization.
