Global North and Global South
- 2. In the 1980s, the Brandt Line was developed as a way of showing how the world was geographically split into relatively richer and poorer nations. Richer countries are almost all located in the Northern Hemisphere, Poorer countries are mostly located in tropical regions and in the Southern Hemisphere. The terms the North and the South, when used in a global context, are alternative designations for “developed” and “developing” countries. The North–South divide is broadly considered a socio- economic and political divide.

- PROBLEMS WITH GN -overconsumption - explains high rate of obesity in america - high percentage of food wastage in USA and UK WIDESPREAD POVERTY- Widespread growing poverty including child poverty is serious concerns and most people you see on the street are graduates who have gone to school. They are educated and heavily in debt. (student loans) Expensive medicines - hiv drug in africa is 75usd while it’s 3900usd in us also, not all have health insurance in first world countries MENTAL HEALTH PROBS- Looking at the lifestyle adopted by “First World”, its designed for Individualistic lifestyle, with less to no interaction within family and community. The emotional needs are fulfilled by increased consumption of goods/products. No one identifies this underlying design, and attributes Mental Health issues to genetics.

- The problems with GS -contemporary global capitalism -neocolonialismq` Global South captures a deterritorialized geography of capitalism’s externalities and means to account for subjugated peoples within the borders of wealthier countries, such that there are economic Souths in the geographic North and Norths in the geographic South. Following independence and decolonization, these states had dire need of new infrastructure and economic stimulation. Many relied on investment from foreign countries. This funding focused on improving infrastructure and industry, but led to a system of systemic exploitation. They sold raw materials, like as rubber, for a bargain. In return, Western countries used cheap labor in the Global South for production.The West benefited significantly from this system, but left the Global South undeveloped. This system of exploitation is called Neocolonialism. A -contractualization -lack of health facilities MARKET LIBERALIZATION LOSE COMPETITION IN THE NORTH EX: global brands/companies are reffered rathen than the other ex: cars: subaru, kia, nissan // ford chevrolet toyota
