Immanuel Wallerstein was a social therist liked to base the world off of and
economic status. He wanted to help explain how history has changed. Modernization
is on the rise in his opinion. He would categorize them into groups. The core-periphery,
periphery and semi periphery. The core periphery was the dominant one and was
known to be about the wealthier countries. These countries did well
economically and were able to communicate well with other countries. The periphery
was known to be in the middle, meaning that they lacked a little bit when it
comes to economics. The last is the semi periphery this is a little bit of
both. It has a little bit of core and the periphery.
I believe that this world is all about what class you are in and this is just showing that we seperate the countries into different social classes even between different countries.
I posted a pyramid of the groups it is the same one that we
have seen in class but I believe that it is a great reference to fall back on
in this situation.
