First World

"First world" is a way people used to categorize countries based on how rich and successful they are.

Think of it like a game where different teams are playing. Some teams are doing really well and have a lot of resources and success, while other teams might not be doing as well and have fewer resources.

The "First world" refers to the teams doing really well in this global game. These teams have a lot of resources, like money, food, and technology. They also have strong economies and political systems that help them succeed.

So when people talk about "First world" countries, they're usually referring to places like the United States, Canada, Western Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. These countries are generally considered to be wealthy and successful, with high levels of education, good healthcare systems, and plenty of opportunities for their citizens.

However, it's important to note that the concept of the "First world" is outdated and has been criticized for being both elitist and misleading. Today, we recognize that countries' success and wealth can't be boiled down to simple categories like "First world" or "Third world." There's much more nuance to it than that!
