I am bored and kind of actually have some time to spare and so am connecting to Farli's meme.

1. Flip to page 18, paragraph 4 in the book closest to you right now, what does it say?
"balkanisation: the process whereby any organisation or structure is split up into smaller seperate parts, with limited connections between them. It refers to the historical development of the Balkans in Europe which changed from being dominated by a few Empires to forming many smaller States, as those Empires broke up. In sociology, balkanisation can refer to labour markets, where jobs are divided into different sectors with little interchange between the parts or it can refer to an organisation where the levels are split from each other and kept seperate by the need for qualifications to advance to different parts."
