Answer 1:

"Second World" is a Cold War Era definition for those countries that belonged to the Warsaw Pact (i.e: communists). In this regard, Mexico was part of the Third World.

Nowadays, this definition is no longer in use; Mexico falls within the group of "upper-middle income" nations, such as Brazil, Thailand, Turkey, and Iran.

Answer 2:

In economic terms: First world = Developed countries, Second world = Developing countries, Third world = Under developed countries.

(This last answer is debatable, as no modern economic theorists use such definition. One of its difficulties would be: how is a country defined as part of the "first" or "second" worlds? For example: South Korea, which some sources define as "developed" while others define it as "developing").
