Socialization is the unequal distribution of power, wealth, income and social status between individuals and groups. This distribution is not random, it is patterned and structured. Three important axes of global inequality are gender, race and ethnicity, and class. These inequalities are on a global scale and are found in virtually all societies. It wasn't until relatively recently, however, that a caste system developed to include race and ethnicity among class and gender. Since imperialism and

Question 2-c If a single company had owned this large piece of land, the land and the buildings thereon should be separate

the DIA. An additional area of concern for BAE was that construction had already begun on the terminal and concourses. Considerable changes were needed in the overall design of the terminal, and some of the construction already completed would need to be taken down and reinstalled in order to accommodate the new baggage system. Installation of the expanded system was initially anticipated to require around $100 million in construction work. In October 1992,

First thing that was done was to surface the court with lights. The surfacing process took no more than three days. Lastly the court was lined and painted and allowed to dry. The basketball court construction was completed in a week and a half. The final week and a half was left to an intense community cleanup, with proper disposal, and reevaluations of each area.

This shows that these stakeholders did not understand their role to be fully engaged and involved.

BAE was told they needed to make a specified deadline of October 1993. The late involvement of the BAE, who was selected to

identification of the two budget types is $33 million. Life Cycle, Time Plan In addition to WBS and in order to estimate the time plan for the PEP’s completion, PMC must define the programs life cycle. The most commonly type of life-cycle program used for construction projects is the sequential one or waterfall program life-cycle; this is the one that PMC will be using for this specific case. According to waterfall life-cycle the following program phases are defined: Diagram 2. Baldwin Water Works Program
