 DEFINING GLOBAL
DEVIDES
• The global divide or global digital divide describes
global disparities, primarily between developed
and developing countries, in regards to access to
computing and information resources such as
the Internet and the opportunities derived from such
access.

• The term “digital divide” doesn’t necessarily mean

that someone doesn’t have technology; it could mean
that there is simply a difference in technology. These
differences can refers to, for example, high-quality
computers, fast Internet, technical assistance, or
telephone services. The difference between all of
these is also considered a gap.
SOCIAL STRATIFICATION AND GLOBAL
STRATIFICATION
GLOBAL STRATIFICATION refers to the
hierarchical arrangement of individuals and groups
in societies around the world. It also refers to the
unequal distribution of wealth, power, prestige,
resources, and influence among the world's nations.

SOCIAL STRATIFICATION is a process by

which a society is divided into different layers, or
strata, based on factors like level of education,
occupation, income, and wealth, gender, ethnicity,
political status and religion.

WORLD’S
THE FIRST, THE SECOND, AND THE THIRD WORLD

The era known as the "Cold War" was a political

constellation of countries with two different world-
views. On one side were the industrialized capitalist
nations aligned with the USA, called the Western
Bloc, which likes to call itself the "Free World" or the
"Western world." On the other side were the
Communist workers and peasants states of the
Eastern Bloc, the socialist countries within the power
fabric of the Soviet Union, and Mao's China. In
Europe, there were some neutral countries, and there
was the rest of the world, the Third World.

BRAND T
CR IT IC I S M
AND
The Brandt Report is the
report written by the
Independent Commission,
first chaired by Willy Brandt
(the former German
Chancellor) in 1980, to review
international development
issues. The result of this report
provided an understanding of
drastic differences in the
economic development for
both the East and West of the
world.
THESIS
• The Brandt Report suggests primarily that a great
chasm in standard of living exists along the North-
South divide and there should therefore be a large
transfer of resources from developed to developing
countries.

• The countries North of the divide are extremely

wealthy due to their successful trade in
manufactured goods, whereas the countries South of
the divide suffer poverty due to their trade in
intermediate goods, where the export incomes are
low.
DEFINING GLOBAL NORTH AND
GLOBAL SOUTH
• The Global North/South Divide the concept of a gap between
the Global North and the Global South in terms of development
and wealth.

• Global North countries are wealthy, technologically advanced,

politically stable and aging, the Global South represents
economically backward countries and often politically or
culturally marginalized which are generally located in Latin-
America, Africa and some corners of Asia, they depend
economically.

• The reasons and roots cause of the gap is since the colonization
of the Southern world regions by Europe over the past several
centuries. This colonization occurred at different times in
different parts of the world, as did decolonization.
 Slide master

The Brandt Line is a visual depiction of the North-

South divide between their economies, based on GDP per
capita,[2] proposed by Willy Brandt in the 1980s. It
encircles the world at a latitude of 30° N, passing between
North and Central America, north of Africa and India, but
lowered towards the south to include Australia and New
Zealand above the line.
 HOW
GLOBAL
NORTH
AND
SOUTH
ARISE
• The North–South divide (or Global North and Global South) is
a socio-economic and political division of Earth popularized in
the late 20th century and early 21st century.

• The terms the North and the South, when used in a global
context, are alternative designations for “developed” and
“developing” countries. Together, the North and South
constitute virtually the entire global population. As terms, the
North and the South emerged during the 1970s, probably
simultaneously, and in contrast with each other.

• Brandt suggested that countries north of the division were

more developed as they had been able to interact successfully
with others, benefitting from higher levels of trade and thus
boosting the quality of life for their population.
