Flat Essay

Lisa Andersen Jeff Kosse, instructor ENG 105 English Composition I March 13, 2010 Our Modern universe of discourse The world is flat One unsuspecting person might reckon that Im very artless to make such an assertion. In fact, Id argue that the other person was rather naive after reading The World is Flat by Thomas L. Friedman and The loth(p) Fundamentalist by Mohsid Hamid. In this essay, I allow for be explaining how I progress to come to conceive this notion. Now, what about the companies that do keep their businesses domestic?We, the United States, being a coarse where many ethnic groups and nationalities have come together, can still face stiff aspiration. We have immigrants wanting(p) to live in the greatest country in the world so the reputation says. Companies can find people who will do the restriction for less, just to have a job. Not only is there competition in laborers, but theres competition in gaberdine collar jobs, as well. Its all coming down to who has th e outstrip education, the ability, and the flexibility.For example, if the demand to relocate or travel is there and if one diorama wont do it, the company or business will find a candidate who will. There are people in society today who know no boundaries and will do whatever it takes to climb the corporate ladder and if it means going to another country to obtain their desires or dreams, thats exactly what they will do. This leads to a have point in the book, The Reluctant Fundamentalist in which the main character, Changez- a Pakistani, succeeded in earning a coveted job with a prestigious American company (Hamid, 5. This position was not necessarily sought upon because of a hanker to be an American, but rather as a vehicle to succeeder and fortune. The chock up for his success with this company was fueled by his desire to heighten himself better than the American counterparts as opposed to the success of the prestigious company, itself. Changez had no emotional connectio n to the United States as evidenced by his impassibility to the attacks on the World Trade Center (Hamid, 72. ) As illustrated by Hamid, if the drive for success is possessed, then no boundaries will get in the way.
