A WORLD OF REGIONS The Global Divides: Global digital divide describes disparities, primarily between developed and developing countries. It is the concept of a gap between the Global North and the Global South in terms of development and wealth. Classifying countries In the 1980s, the Brandt Line was developed as a way of showing the how the world was geographically split into relatively richer and poorer nations..To conceptualize globalization as world-wide modern-ization, often seeing it as posing a threat to local cultures and traditions, while others see globalization as a historical outcome made up of a variety of local traditions. Global South are those countries which are under the formation of development.. They are also denoted as lower-income countries.. The global North are those countries that are developed and capablr of transforming national economies. Third world vs. global South: The phrase “Global South” refers broadly to the regions of Latin America, Asia, Africa and Oceania. It is one of a family of terms, including “Third World” and Periphery, that denoted regions outside Europe and North America, mostly (though not all) Low-income and often politically or culturally mar-ginalized. The North and South Divides The concept of Global North and Global South (or North-South divide in a global context) is used to describe a grouping of countries along the lines of socio-economic and political characteristics. The origin of dividing countries into the North-South Divide rose during the Cold War of the mid 20th century. During this time, countries were primarily categorized according to their alignment between the Russian East and the American West.

Liberalism - a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy and free enterprise 3. Constructivism – is a theory that says learners construct knowledge rather than just passively take in information. ► Liberalism is a political and economic doctrine that emphasizes individual autonomy equality of opportunity, and the protection of individual rights,(primarily to life, liberty and property) originally against the state and later against both the state and provate economic actors including businesses. ► Modern liberalism now includes issues such as same-sex marriage, transgender rights, the abolition of capital punishment, reproductive and other women’s rights, voting rights fpr all adult citizens, civil righrs environmental justice, and government protection of the rights to an adequate standard of living. What type of Theory is liberalism? ► Liberalism is a school of thought within international relations theory which revolves around three interrelated principles: ► rejection of power politics as the only possible outcome of international relations ► It questions security/warfare principles of realism ► Mutual benefits and international cooperation. Why is Constructivism important? It is important learning theory that educators use to help their students learn. It is based on the idea that people actively construct or make their own knowledge and that really is determined by your experience as a learner. Example of Constructivism: An elementary school teacher presents a class problem to measure the length of the “MAYFLOWER”. Rather than starting the problem by introducing the ruler, the teacher allows students to reflect and to construct their own methods of measurement. What is Marxism? ► It is political and economic theories of KARK Marx and Friedrich Engels, later developed by their followers to form the basis for the theory and practice od communism. ► It posits that the struggle between social classes- specifically between the bourgeoisie, or capitalism and the proletariat or workers defines economic relations in a capitalist economy and will lead inevitably to a communist revolution POST-MODERNISM: > A LATE 20TH Century style and concept in the arts, architecture and criticism that represents a departure from modernism and has at its heart a general distrust of grand theories and ideologies as well as a problematical relationship with any notion of “art”. Example of Postmodernism: the clearest example would be the death bunny scene where a rabbit slaughters men, Intentional or not, these works of art belong on the postmodern film list because the subverted expectations and gave audiences something thy could noy have anticipated long before that was more en vogue.
