The main focus of class this week was the topic of segregation, mainly in Northern Ireland. Ethnic encloues include language, visible signs, and busisness. Throughout the world there are many different towns or neighborhoods that are segregated. Some popular segregated neighborhoods include Chinese, Mexican, Hmong, and Polish. At Carthage we are segregated in many ways such as sex, athletics, teacher's departments, etc. In society segregation happens both vuluntarily and invuluntarily. Buying a house is an issue that is in regards to segregation. When one buys a house he or she takes into consideration the distance from work, if it meets his or her needs, nice, and urban. Segregation is a scientific way to think about segregation. The science uses the segregation index which measures the amount of segregation from 0-1.
In economic geography location matters. There are three sectors, but there might be four, or even five. The three sectors are primary, secondary, and tertiary. Primary deals with raw goods, secondary deals with manufacturing, and the tertiary sector deals with services. The possible fourth sector, the quarentary sector deals with information, and the fifth sector, the quinary sector, consists of very high wealth.
