The history of the world is generally considered to be the history of mankind, and the New World and the Old World refer historically to the parts of this world colonized in the wake of the Age of Discovery.
In some contexts, this refers to everything that constitutes the reality of the physical universe . In other cases, it may mean that it has a specific ontological meaning; for example, in the context of human history, the history of humanity.
The term "world" necessarily implies participation in all parts of the world and suggests an international or intercontinental framework that implies the sum of all combinations of sovereign states. The world population is the sum of the human population at all times; likewise, world economies are the summed economies of societies and countries, especially in the context of globalization; and world populations, economies, societies, nations, countries and societies.
While the World Happiness Reports are based on a variety of data, the most important source is the Gallup World Poll, which is as much a source of information about the happiness of the world as it is about life itself. Although annual happiness rankings have always generated widespread interest, the life ratings of the Gallup World survey provide a much more detailed picture of the living situation in a particular country. Readers soon became curious about this secret life in a happy country and retreated to their local news sources to find out how their nation was doing.
The Gallup team has always sought to get to the bottom of this issue, and the first World Happiness Report was created to support this meeting, which summarizes all available global data on national happiness and reviews evidence from emerging happiness research.
Since 2013, the World Happiness Research Institute at the University of California, San Diego, led by Jeffrey D. Sachs, has been the central basis of the report. Although the editors and authors are volunteers, there are administrative, research, and support costs that were most recently covered by the US Department of Health and the Office of Management and Budget .
One of the most obvious crises is geopolitically driven by leaders of dictatorial, authoritarian, and populist regimes who do everything they can to suppress information and impose their vision of a world without pluralism and independent journalism. China, which is trying to establish a new world media order, has maintained its control over the global media, with negative repercussions for the entire world, which is seen as a public health crisis caused by coronavirus. The Covid 19 pandemic in China in the late 1990s and early 2000s showed how the authorities in that country used this pandemic to settle scores with independent journalists.
Europe remains the most favourable continent for media freedom, with an average rate of 78%, compared to 72% last year. The percentage of countries with black colours, which means that the situation is very bad, has risen by two points to 13% and remains unchanged at 8%. Countries that have turned white, that is, the situation of the press - the situation of freedom was good, is up one point to 14% .
America is following suit, with regional heavyweights like the United States and Brazil becoming models of media hostility. State and local governments are taking swift steps to address the crisis on a profound scale, particularly in Brazil, the world's second-largest economy and home to the largest media industry.
At a stroke, Americans are saying goodbye to a society of frivolity and ceaseless activity. The global economy is in a recession with the potential to turn into a depression, and the federal government is taking steps that have been seen more often in wartime. Our obsession with optimising our lives to achieve peak performance, productivity and efficiency has created a domestic industry that seeks to make the bleakest life sound heroic.
Gallup is a full-fledged data partner, and we recognize the value of this partnership: First place in the 2014 World Happiness Report and second place in the 2017 Gallup World Poll, both from Gallup Organization.

The Netherlands has the largest financial services sector, with a GDP of $1.2 trillion and services of $0.5 trillion. The US had a relatively open economy, facilitating the development of a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, services, and finance.
