 Notes (10 mins)  Maquiladoras Frayer Model + ESPeN (25 mins)  Notes (5 mins)  PBL Work NOTE: only day to work on until part 1 due on Friday (in media center)

 Just-in-time delivery › Rather than keeping a large inventory of components or products, companies keep just what they need for short- term production and new parts are shipped quickly when needed.  Global division of labor › Corporations can draw from labor around the globe for different parts of production (footloose industry)

 Core factors are increasingly automated.  Multinational Corporations move labor- intensive to peripheral countries › Why? › Labor is cheap

 Lower wages than core  Lower taxes  Weaker safety and environmental regulations  Ability to pit workers against each other, or to repress unions

 Sketch the following in your journals + an ESPeN underneath. Then read the article and complete Definition (IN YOUR OWN WORDS):): Words from article not in definition, but related : Images or Examples: Relate it to something else you know (can make a simile or metaphor):

 What are maquiladoras?  What are the issues related to the maquiladoras in Mexico?  Journal reflection to respond to the article: What is your opinion? What do you suggest?

 How might this help with your project?  What options are there to help ensure fair treatment of labor abroad?

A movement to treat workers in periphery countries better. The certification shows the workers are getting a fair wage.

 Supposed to help everyone progress  Are the rules written by and for elites?  Many feel: › Only benefiting some Core and Periphery citizens › Widening gap between Core and Periphery.

 Due Friday  Group work to start paper.. Outline.. What you want to say  Make task chart.. Tuesday stamp

 What’s your prior knowledge? Get out a full piece of paper. And make a chart with pre-industrial, industrial, post- industrial (you will complete this later).  Jot down some things you know about life in each of these. Also provide a question you have about each.

 Why has the core deindustrialized?  A look at my home:

 Relative decline in industrial employment › Automation and “runaway shops” ( an industrial plant moved by its owners from one location to another to escape union labor regulations or state laws)  Reinvestment in higher profit areas › Sunbelt states (non-union) › Semi-periphery and Periphery

Collapse of Manufacturing = Rust Belt Replaced in Boston, Pittsburgh by high-tech industries

Creative destruction: the process of industrial transformation that accompanies radical innovation. So what…. – Deindustrialization in one location suggests that growth is occurring in a separate location Capital is not destroyed, it is displaced. Joseph Schumpeter – the Father of *Creative Destruction President Reagan – also liked the idea !

 You will fill in the rest of your chart as you rotate desks to look at different images.  Be sure to write the Image #, where you think it belongs and what characteristics (specifics) you can pull out from the image(s).  Share: What did you discover about pre- industrial, industrial, and post-industrial

 Journal Reflection: In 2 sentences summarize the life and landscape of each: pre-industrial, industrial, post-industrial.  I will come stamp and we will Discuss as a whole.  So what happens in the post-industrial? What do you think? Can they overcome the struggles?  Story about Buffalo: WPvfc WPvfc

 Has left older industrial cities struggling to find their economic niche.  Older industrial cities haven’t fully transitioned from an industrial economy to an innovative, entrepreneurial one.  This economic shift began with companies fleeing older industrial cities for their suburbs.  Decreasing transport costs, low-cost land, and the search for lower-skilled, lower-cost workers took companies south and west.  More companies are moving labor-intensive operations out of the country, taking advantage of low-cost workers and reduced regulation.

 Long-term legacy costs of the industrial economy continue to hamper the recovery of older industrial cities.  The dominance of older established industries can hinder entrepreneurialism and diversification.  Lower levels of educational attainment put these cities at a disadvantage in the competition for new firms.  Many are left with a tremendous environmental legacy: there are an estimated 5 million acres of abandoned industrial sites and contaminated brownfields (abandoned or underused industrial property) in U.S. cities alone.

Older industrial cities have numerous assets that set them apart. Cultural assets: cultural institutions, Professional sports teams, vibrant street life. Economic assets: regional employment centers, downtown cores, concentrations of universities and medical industry. Physical assets: waterfronts, transit infrastructure, historic buildings.

 Take 5 minutes to study with a partner. Be sure to study everything we have learned about industry this unit. (i.e. Rostow’s, types of industries, how we determine where industry is, modes of development, etc.)  You will have 25 minutes to take the quiz. (there is a short FRQ based on what we learned today).

 Background paper due Friday! We will be in the media center on Friday to type it up.  Suggestion: separation of paragraphs…
