| - The Third World is the less developed part of our planet. Levels of economic development and also of education are relatively low in the Third World. Well Third World people tend not to understand the Scientific method and far too many people there believe religions and/or superstitions of different kinds. Some Third World people believe one or other of the major world religions, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism. Other Third World people believe local indigenous religions dealing with Gods or Spirits. Education standards are rising in the Third World so in time Third World people may become more skeptical over religion.
- The Third World refers mainly to Africa, the Middle East, parts of Latin America are also very poor as are pockets in developed countries. Third world [Countries]] are countries where large numbers of people are really poor. Sometimes third world people don't have enough to eat. The nations worst affected by hunger are, Burundi, Eritrea, Timor-Leste, Comoros, Sudan, Chad, Ethiopia, Yemen, Zambia, Haiti. When there's enough to eat poor Third World people often have to live in hovels that don't give proper shelter, infectious diseases are common and medical services far from adequate. The death rate is high for many different reasons and life expectancy is far lower than it is in advanced countries. Historically, the third world term's meaning was the countries not aligned to the USA, or USSR. Under that definition, Switzerland and Finland were included though today the Third World means poor nations. Many third world countries suffered due to the the USA/USSR conflict for forty years, during the Cold War. Many Third World countries suffer through low income poor Education, political oppression, that means these countries are Dictatorships or in worse cases Totalitarian.
- The term Third World arose during the Cold War to define countries that remained non-aligned with either NATO (with the United States, Western European nations and their allies representing the First World), or the Communist Bloc (with the Soviet Union, the People's Republic of China, Cuba and their allies representing the Second World). This terminology provided a way of broadly categorizing the nations of the Earth into three groups based on social, political, and economic divisions. The Third World was normally seen to include many countries with colonial pasts in Africa, Latin America, and Asia. It was also sometimes taken as synonymous with countries in the Non-Aligned Movement. In the so-called dependency theory of thinkers like Raul Prebisch, Walter Rodney, Theotonio dos Santos, and Andre Gunder Frank, the Third World has also been connected to the world economic division as "periphery" countries in the world system that is dominated by the "core" countries. Due to the complex history of evolving meanings and contexts, there is no clear or agreed upon definition of the Third World. Some countries in the Communist Bloc, such as Cuba, were often regarded as "Third World". Because many Third World countries were extremely poor, and non-industrialized, it became a stereotype to refer to poor countries as "third world countries", yet the "Third World" term is also often taken to include newly industrialized countries like India, Brazil or China. Historically, some European countries were part of the non-aligned movement and a few were and are very prosperous, including Switzerland and Austria. Over the last few decades, the term Third World has been used interchangeably with the Global South and Developing Countries to describe poorer countries that have struggled to attain steady economic development, a term that often includes former "Second World" countries like Russia. This usage, however, has become less preferred in recent years.
