There is no single culture or village in the world. We have stop believing in mythical powers about globalization and how easy it is to misunderstand each other. We live in Paradoxical time.

People can misunderstand each other which can problems as every culture or village has its own values, way of communication.

The Gini coefficient was something that I learned in economics class a long ago, so it was a quick revision for me. I never knew that we also look at the economic factors in Globalization in geography. I learned about the rising inequalities in Vancouver. I always had a strong interest to move to Vancouver after graduating but it seems that I will have to rethink about that. As Professor told that even professors could not afford a house, then It would be very difficult for a new graduate to have one.
