RE: People still don't know what a third world country is??

in #poverty6 years ago

Coming from a Third world country in Asia I have to agree with your definition on our status although the Philippines boast of a high literarcy rate of around 95% I believe and an above average command of the English language thus a lot of callcenters from the US, Britain and Australia are located here.

It is interested what you said about 2nd world countries and I am a bit of a history buff especially with the Cold War and Soviet Union fascinated me.

Well that is one of the reasons why I left Facebook, All the toxicity and fake news just makes me shake my head.

As for that person it is hard to budge someone who is set on their beliefs.

Sort:  

I am thus inclined to wonder if your country would be defined as third world, someone just mentioned about the corruption with means if there is ready money available by what ever means... resources etc.
And wonder if you fall under the same category as 2nd world particularly when it talks about emerging markets, is the phillipinnes not under this banner?
