    The document discusses the global divides between the North and South. [1] It describes the North as economically developed countries like the US, Canada, and Western Europe with greater stability, education, healthcare and standards of living. [2] The South refers to developing regions like Africa, Latin America and parts of Asia, which have less political stability and economic opportunities as well as lower education and living conditions due to a history of colonialism. [3] While gaps still exist, some Southern countries are rising through cooperation and development initiatives, changing the traditional North-South dynamic.
