Use of "Third World"

[edit]

The article uses the phrase "third world" and links to that page. This is dated, I believe. The phrase used should be "Developing" world or countries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.139.7.86 (talk) 18:56, 2 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

the idea of prescription

[edit]

The lead section mentions "prescription", but the cited source is materially different from what is written in the article. The source talks about prescription as "A method of acquiring a nonpossessory interest in land through the long, continuous use of the land." so it appears to be a special case of customary law about land, and not a general legal concept. A related concept is prescriptive law. The nature of a statement that prescribes how things ought to be. A prescriptive theory is one that says how people or things should function, as opposed to how they actually do.

Anyway, "prescription" seems out of place in the lead section and I will remove it for now, until it is rewritten and place in a more appropriate place in the article. --Happyseeu (talk) 20:23, 10 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
