I really didn't see any similarities between the previous article I discussed, and “Moral Disagreement,” written Kwame Appiah. This article made me realize just how fast the world is changing. There is no longer the staple of a stay at home mom, and a dad waiting for dinner to be cooked as soon as he gets home from work. There is no common idea of a "social norm," anymore because the society evolves and changes constantly. Obviously there is a sense of tolerance between cultures and what they view as their norms because a topic like this could cause conflict if everyone didn't accept one another.

Blog post contrast>compare
I read the two articles; “While I was sleeping,” by Thomas L. Friedman and “Moral Disagreement,” written Kwame Appiah. The article "While I was sleeping," actually had a lot to do with the same topic as my rhetorical analysis which made this an enjoyable read! I saw how Friedman made the argument that the World's economies are all connected. Not only that but they are also interdependent. He gave the reader a metaphor saying that if the world is "flat," then everything can be seen all at once. Also, instead of being so far away, every country is within reach!

I like how you interpreted the world being flat as everything being seen at once. I think this is an important thought if we really want to understand why economy's are becoming closer and closer.
