ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Western world

Okay, kiddo! So the Western world is a term used to describe countries that are located in Europe and North America. These countries share common cultural, political, economic, and social characteristics that make them similar.

Think of it like a big clubhouse where everyone shares the same rules and values. In this clubhouse, people speak similar languages, follow similar religions, dress similarly, and have similar social norms.

It's like how you have a group of friends at school who all like the same things and hang out together. The Western world is like a big group of countries who all hang out together because they have things in common.

However, it's important to remember that not all countries in Europe and North America are part of the Western world, and there are many other clubs in the world with their own unique cultures and values.
