===Shifting in definitions=== Since the end of the [[Cold War]], the original definition of the term "First World" is no longer necessarily applicable. There are varying definitions of the First World; however, they follow the same idea. John D. Daniels, past president of the Academy of International Business, defines the First World to be consisting of "high-income industrial countries".<ref>{{cite book |title= International business: environments and operations |last= Daniels |first= John |year= 2007 |publisher= Prentice Hall |isbn= 978-0-13-186942-4 |page= [https://archive.org/details/internationalbus0000dani/page/126 126] |url= https://archive.org/details/internationalbus0000dani/page/126 }}</ref> Scholar and Professor George J. Bryjak defines the First World to be the "modern, industrial, capitalist countries of North America and Europe".<ref>{{cite book |title= Sociology: cultural diversity in a changing world |last= Bryjak |first= George |year= 1997 |publisher= Allyn & Bacon |isbn= 0-205-26435-2 |page= 8}}</ref> L. Robert Kohls, former director of training for the U.S. Information Agency and the Meridian International Center in Washington, D.C., uses First World and "fully developed" as synonyms.<ref>{{cite book |title= Survival kit for overseas living: for Americans planning to live and work abroad |last= Kohls |first= L. |year= 2001 |publisher= Nicholas Brealey Publishing |isbn= 1-85788-292-X |page= [https://archive.org/details/survivalkitforov00kohl/page/21 21] |url= https://archive.org/details/survivalkitforov00kohl/page/21 }}</ref>
