North–South divide
The Western world, also known as the West, refers to various regions, nations and states, depending on the context, most often consisting of the majority of Europe, the Americas, and Australasia. The Western world is also known as the Occident (from the Latin word "occidens", "sunset, "West""), in contrast to the Orient (from the Latin word "oriens", "rise, East") or Eastern world. It might mean the Northern half of the North–South divide.
