The Third World Part II

The Third World contains some of the most beautiful areas on the planet with unspoilt countryside and helpful, friendly people.

The Third World was originally a French term le tiers monde, but I m not quite sure what the first and whether there s a fourth world. I think the Third World refers to underdeveloped countries in Africa and Asia and parts of Latin America. They are poor in natural resources and often only export basic raw materials like coffee and bananas.

Third World countries owe huge debts of billions of dollars to the rich industrial nations of the North and have no hope of ever paying them back.

Many Third World countries have corrupt governments and there s sometimes civil war, which adds to their problems.

We in the West give help but we should be helping Third World countries to help themselves. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. We should think about the future.

Countries of the Third World usually have the highest birth rates in the world and can t feed their population.
