I really enjoyed "While I Was Sleeping" because I think that is such a relevant issue. So many jobs have gone overseas, and I think that this is going to be a very difficult issue for America to deal with. I was really surprised to read how about the number of taxes that are done in India, but I think that that process is a very good idea. I don't think this global economy would be possible without technology. I don't find the articles very similar because "While I Was Sleeping" is mainly about how the economies of the world are coming together, but "Moral Disagreement" deals with the differences between cultures.

Compare and Contrast
I read "Moral Disagreement" and "While I Was Sleeping", and I found both articles very interesting. However, I found both articles to have more differences than similarities. "Moral Disagreement" was saying that there are bound to be disagreements because all cultures are different and have different views. The article also was saying that there is no correct perspective because there is no normal culture. I also thought that the article's mention of father's having a larger role in parenting today is definitely true because it has become more accepted for fathers to stay at home with their kids while mothers are working; it's not such a strict gender role anymore.

I agree that the articles wer definitely polar opposite! But i personally believe the world is becoming "flat" only in the urbanized areas. In the more rural and culturally based areas they have unique qualities that make them "round."
ReplyDeleteI think they were really different too. I disagree the world is getting flat though. I think there is just more communication but there are still a lot of different cultures.
