From First World to Third World: the Impact of Global Labels

🛑Read the event guidelines at bottom of this description to ensure this event fits your beliefs and style.

Where did the terms "First World", "Second World" and "Third World" come from, and why do they continue to shape our view of different nations? Rooted in Cold War politics and colonial history, these classifications have long influenced global politics, economic policies, and our perceptions of wealth, development, and intelligence. This discussion will explore how these labels create biases that reinforce stereotypes, shape international relations, and contribute to economic and social inequalities. Are these terms outdated, or do they still serve as tools for maintaining global hierarchies?
