"While I was Sleeping" by Thomas L. Friedman shares how he thinkes the world is "flattening." He explains that the "competitive playing field" is leveling out. He also shares about how technology is replacing the work that used to take one person hours. He gives examples of when this happened in the past through the invention of the printing press and the industrial revolution. The article "Moral Disagreement" by Kwame Anthony Appiah shares how in different cultures, alot is different. For example, he says that his father wouldn't eat "bush meat" which is animals killed in the forest, but in other countries, this is perfectly acceptable. Similarly, we eat cows, but in other countries, such as India, if you are Hindu, then it is an awful sin to eat a cow. He goes on to say this idea that different cultures have different ideas is something that translates to all topics, such as morals.
