Around 15% of population but 75% of the income
periphery

–85% of pop but 25% of income
semi periphery
core and periphery processes occurring
– exploited by the core but exploit the periphery
explain global core, periphery and semi periphery
Global core=higher education, salaries, more tech,
Around 15% of population but 75% of the income
-periphery=lower education, salaries, les tech
–85% of pop but 25% of income
-Semi Periphery=core and periphery processes occurring
– exploited by the core but exploit the periphery

german multiculturism has failed
Germany
-idea of people of different cultures living happily ide by side did not work
- onus was on immigrants to do more to integrate
-“germany should get tougher on those who refuse to integrate before openingitself up to further immigration”
most diverse city in america
- mountain view, anchorage Alaska
- most diverse census in US
- three factors helped:
1) sizable white population stayed …. Most places=diversity increase=white people leave
2) Large Alaska local pop: lacking in other cities
3) No set ethnic area: no ghettos or Chinatown
