In "While I was Sleeping" the author makes clear the point that "The world is flat." It is an article about the outsourcing to India. This particular journalist wanted to see why companies were switching oversees and what exactly it had to offer over there. His findings were remarkable. There is so much growth in such a rapid time period that I think our specific country underestimates. But as the CEO he interviewed expressed, America does best when it has competition. So hopefully this new found competition will be able to thrust us back into the reining super-power we used to be.

Compare/Contrast 10/25/11
The two articles that I chose to blog about are "Moral Disagreement" and "While I was Sleeping." In "Moral Disagreement," the author chooses to take a look at different situations and the different ways in which people can view them. It seemed more like the idea of relativism to me which is a tricky topic because it can cause much debate. However, regardless, it is a very thought provoking piece, especially for someone who lives in a country where there is a wide mix of cultures and beliefs. I almost feel that I have to be more careful with how I go about topics and discussions because you never know what road that can lead down.

I agreed with you the entire time with the points that you made because I felt the same way when reading these articles, especially when you pointed out that you felt as if you need to be more careful with how you go about your topics and discussions because you never know where it can land you.
ReplyDeleteI thought the interview with the CEO said it all. Hopefully America will be able to be driven by the competition of the other nations to be successful again.
