Global North and South

The terms "Global North" and "Global South" refer to a way of categorizing countries based on economic development and historical context. The "Global North" generally includes wealthier, industrialized nations like the United States, Canada, Western Europe, and developed parts of Asia. The "Global South" encompasses poorer, less industrialized countries in regions such as Africa, Latin America, and parts of Asia. These terms highlight disparities in wealth, technology, and access to resources, and are used to discuss global inequalities and development issues without implying strict geographic separation.
