The use of the terms First, the Second, and the Third World is a rough, and it's safe to say, outdated model of the geopolitical world from the time of the cold war.\nThere is no official definition of the first, second, and the third world. \n\nFour Worlds\nAfter World War II the world split into two large geopolitical blocs and spheres of influence with contrary views on government and the politically correct society: \n\n1 - The bloc of democratic-industrial countries within the American influence sphere, the "First World".\n2 - The Eastern bloc of the communist-socialist states, the "Second World". \n3 - The remaining three-quarters of the world's population, states not aligned with either bloc were regarded as the "Third World."\n4 - The term "Fourth World", coined in the early 1970s by Shuswap Chief George Manuel, refers to widely unknown nations (cultural entities) of indigenous peoples, "First Nations" living within or across national state boundaries.\n\nHere is a map showing which ountries are which:\nhttp://www.nationsonline.org/bilder/third_world_map.jpg

Q: What do you call someone who speaks two languages?\nA: Bilingual.\n\nQ: What do you call someone who speak one language?\nA: American.\n\nIn many parts of the world, it's common to speak two or three languages.  Many places speak a European language as a second to their own, or a "lingua franca" for their region, such as Arabic (you can hear it from Morocco to Afghanistan) or Swahili (20+ African countries and 50+ million people).  \n\nThe Europeans, North Africans and Middle Easterners speak several languages because they are exposed to them regularly.  You'll find many Scandinavian and Baltic (Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian) athletes who compete at the world level speak English because they receive English TV transmissions.  (The Baltic states listened to Finnish transmissions illegally.  The Finns didn't mind, but Moscow did!)\n\nFortunately, most who do listen to English broadcasts listen to BBC, and NOT to Mouthpiece of America - oops, Voice - VOA.  Sad to say, it's the English speakers who are the biggest morons and don't speak more than our own tongue.  Not taking my French classes seriously in elementary and high school was the second biggest mistake of my life.  (Listening to my parents was #1.)\n\nAnd to see idiot reichwingers in the US who think Americans speaking Spanish is a problem, I can only shake my head.  South America is 500+ million in size, is a growing economic power, they speak Spanish (except for Brazil), and the US wants to ban Spanish in schools and government.  Incredible. 9_9
