Q: What do you know about second world?
| Option | Answer | Is Correct |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | The term “Second World” is-a phrase that was used to describe the Communist states within the Soviet Union’s sphere of influence. Along with “First World” and “Third World”, the term has been used to divide the nations of Earth into three broad categories. The term has largely fallen out of use since the end of the Cold War. The other two ‘worlds’ are still widely talked about, although “First World” is now deprecated for the more politically correct “developed country” and “Third World” has been replaced with “developing country”. | |
| 2 | The three terms did not arise simultaneously. After World War II, people began to speak of the NATO and Warsaw Pact countries as two major blocs, often using such terms as the “Western bloc” and the “Eastern bloc”. The two “worlds” were not numbered, It was eventually pointed out that there were a great many countries that fit into neither category, and in 1952 French demographer Alfred Sauvy coined the term “Third World” to describe these countries; retroactively, the first two groups came to be known as the “First World” and “Second World”. |
