'World' is perhaps the most comprehensive word in the English language. The central meaning carried by the word is 'the whole medium of human existence and activity in space and time'. Sometimes the word is used to mean the planet Earth or a particular region of it, another planet or celestial body, or to the universe as a whole. With relation to time, the word may mean any particular period of human civilization on a particular region of Earth. Additional meanings include a particular area of human activity and the people engaged in it. Finally, the word is used in religion to refer to the interests and activities of mortal human life as opposed to those of an afterlife, most commonly in either a heaven or a hell.
