Compare and Contrast

The two articles that I read were "While I Was Sleeping" and "Moral Disagreement". In both articles they are describing the way people are living their lives in today's world; however, the articles are different in the way that one is describing how the economy of the world is changing and the other is describing how different people have different views on things. In "While I Was Sleeping" by Thomas L. Friedman, it is interesting to actually take a step back and think about how fast technology is growing in the world and how fast the economic world is functioning. In "Moral Disagreement" by Kwame Anthony Appiah, I like how he discusses the difference in peoples' perspectives. Most of the time everyone is so worried about themselves or focused in on what their opinion is, and they don't ever stop to think about what other peoples' views are. What may be acceptable for one person, may not be acceptable for another, so it is always good to be aware of what others may be thinking, regardless of the type of culture the are associated with. Both articles gave a great incite on two important topics in current time, which we can all take lessons from.
