Answer to Question 1

The Internet and modern communications technologies have eliminated the requirement that jobs must be done in particular geographic locales. Therefore, offshore outsourcing extended into service and technology jobs, including jobs held by well-paid and highly educated professionals. Computer programmers, computer technicians, and even physician-radiologists found themselves competing with less-expensive workers in other countries.

Answer to Question 2

Through political, economic, and sometimes military intervention, the core nations encourage the emergence of political and economic elites in the peripheral nations that will support and assist in economic expansion of the core. This elite in the peripheral nations benefits from the world system and supports policies that will maintain its role in the world capitalist system.
