The term “third world” is usually no longer used for the countries of Africa, Asia and Latin America. Instead, one speaks of "developing countries", "poor countries" or the "global south". It is therefore an outdated term?

by Peter Niggli

One could say that because there is no longer a first and second world, that is, no cold war between the "free west" and the Soviet empire, there is no need to speak of a third world. However, the French geographer Alfred Sauvy, who coined the term in 1952, did not simply count it to one, two, three. According to him, "the underdeveloped countries, ignored, exploited, despised" represented the "third level" of world society, which now "finally wanted to be something". Sauvy understood the third world in analogy to the disenfranchised masses before the French Revolution. In this sense, the term stands for the anti-colonial liberation movements and wars in Asia and Africa as well as for the efforts of Latin American political forces to free their countries from the guardianship of the USA.

After women had to make do with children, the kitchen and the church, the old imperative was not replaced by a new one made up of children, day care centers and careers?

Historical outline

Development of care for small children in the past 200 years (Germany)

19th century: very first cribs

The first crèches were opened in the 19th century – mostly by nobles – for example in 1802 in Detmold, in 1844 in Paris and in 1849 in Vienna. Industrialization and the associated rural exodus were the reason why forms of childcare – beyond the family association – became established. At that time, childcare was primarily aimed at impoverished families or widowed women who had to secure family support through gainful employment.

in theory everything is fine

On Monday I almost jumped out of my business pants at 8:15 a.m.

Until then it was a normal day: I delivered my child to school at 7:51 a.m., before that I had already: loading the washing machine, meditating three minutes in front of the fridge, pretending in the bathroom that I had a hairstyle, repaired my blocked drain , smeared a mountain of sandwiches and finally did the homework on the front door. At that moment the mirror in the hallway fell off the wall. I ignored that. Even the bad luck. I don’t have time for something like that in the morning. We left the apartment at 07.33. This was followed by a ten-minute bike ride, during which I made my child fit for the society in which we all live.

Kindergarten in Gelsenkirchen

On August 1st, 2008 is this new child education law (Kibiz) came into force. It strengthens and intensifies the educational mandate in day care centers and meets today’s requirements.

BaSIK is understood as an integrated principle that runs through everyday teaching and reaches all children of the facility.
Be it at breakfast, in role play or in the sandpit. In everyday life, numerous language education opportunities arise that need to be recognized and used. Language acquisition is to be made easier by creating a language-stimulating environment.
We also use the BaSIK observation sheets as language development observations. These enable us to take a close look at the language skills of each individual child.
The observation is carried out once a year. This gives us the opportunity to see the individual language development progress of each child. Based on these results, targeted language support offers can be derived.

Unlike playground equipment, play levels have no shock-absorbing surface. In the event of a possible fall, there is considerable risk of injury. The railing is therefore of particular importance. It must have a minimum height of 1.0 m and be designed in such a way that climbing and sitting on it is not favored. If there is furniture or similar objects on the level that favor climbing over the parapet, the railing must be raised (e.g. installation of a ceiling-high net).

Openings must be dimensioned in such a way that they cannot fall through or get caught with the head (max. Opening width 11 cm, when used by crib children 8.9 cm). The unintentional falling of toys is to be prevented by upstands etc. (2 cm high baseboard).
