Who is characterized as 'Somewheres' according to Goodhart's key points?

Well-educated, global citizens
Mobile individuals, valuing diversity
Rooted individuals with a focus on group security
Affluent people living in urban areas

The correct answer is: Rooted individuals with a focus on group security

Goodhart characterizes 'Somewheres' as rooted individuals who prioritize group security, often emphasizing connections to their local community, traditions, and shared values. This term is used to describe people who find their identity and sense of belonging in their immediate environment rather than in global or cosmopolitan contexts. The 'Somewheres' tend to prioritize the needs and well-being of their communities, often perceiving themselves as part of a larger group that shares similar backgrounds or experiences. This characterization helps understand the ongoing social debates about identity, belonging, and the tension between local and global perspectives. In contrast, the other options describe individuals who are mobile or affluent and tend to embrace a more global outlook, which does not align with the essence of the 'Somewheres' as identified by Goodhart.
