Globalization and Outsourcing

= A) Overview =

Globalization is the process of increased interconnectedness among countries most notably in the areas of economics, politics, and culture. McDonalds in Japan, French films being played in Minneapolis, and the United Nations, are all representations of globalization.

Outsourcing is the process of shipping parts of a product to a different part of the world to be assembled by people so that the product can be created cheaper, but with the quality of and effectiveness of an expensive and high-end version of the product. This also applies to workers, who are moved around the world to do different things, from assembling to advising. Outsourcing is largely affiliated with something known as “Globalization.” As stated by Thomas Friedman, Globalization is the process by which the global playing field all of the companies of the world, both big and small, play on is being leveled by the invention of new products (namely new forms of technology), and the creation of new processes. For example, the creation of the process of outsourcing has allowed companies to cut the cost of creating a product by a significant amount. Certain companies will provide services at costs lower of that of their competitors. media type="custom" key="12811732"


 * B) Current News **

If you look at your iPod, it doesn’t say “Made in America” does it? This is because it can be done cheaper in China, where Apple products are assembled. Not only do we have to worry about outsourcing, but globalization as well. You may be wondering well what is it? It is the growth to a global or worldwide scale. America isn’t growing, we are stunted because you cannot grow without money, if you have no money you have n o way to be successful in this economy, or in the job world. Globalization is beginning to shape the 21st century, it obvious that the United States isn’t keeping up with the development of other nations. The United States is falling behind on some of the most important issues such as health care and education. Our president says that he is doing everything he can to bring our jobs back into

American. If you see the companies that outsource, you would be amazed. From Apple, banks, and clothing stores, it's apparently all the new rage. If we don’t start to make the product in America, we will not see a steady economy for a while. Its already been since 2009 when the market crashed, now its 2012 and very little things have changed. People are still out of work, unable to find jobs, and are living off unemployment benefits instead of going out to look for new jobs. The unemployment rate in Nevada as of 2012 is still 12.6 percent. Although it is said the people signing up for unemployment benefits has gone down, have they really gotten jobs, or given up?


 * Areas of Impact **


 * C) Education **

__Overview__   Like with so many other aspects of life, outsourcing has been important in education. Education in the US is actually done with the help of outsourcing, through things like online tutors in India, as described in The World is Flat.

In some people’s opinions, outsourcing is not the best for schools. Outsourcing should be the last resort, that way you will be cutting costs. Clark County School District wants to hire some of the outside custodians and bus drivers. **  A change as significant as outsourcing transportation does not always occur easily. There are a number of steps schools should follow in order to achieve successful outsourcing. The schools outsourcing continues to grow.

 __Elementary School Impact__  Since there are budget cuts in schools, they do not have gym teachers to work with the elementary students. That resulted into teachers teaching physical education in between the other subjects they teach. But with the classroom teachers teaching it the students don’t get as much as if it was an actual class. There are many other elementary schools around the world that are the same way. They try and get parents or other people around the community to volunteer to give kids physical education.

 ** __Middle School/ High School Impact__ **  ** There are some middle schools that are maintained by the 21 district employees and the others by a privately contracted firm. For example, the Kyrene school district wants to outsource all its custodians, which will mean laying off 21 people and saving $200,000. That means the janitorial work will be done during school breaks or whenever students are not in school. **<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> That is a good way of saving money and outsourcing. Some high schools would like to eliminate the sports to save money. This means that the school will just work on the student’s education. Eliminating sports will indeed save plenty of money since the schools will not have to buy all the equipment that is needed go play sports. Some sports such as soccer requires a lot of equipment. A school uniform for the soccer team can be up to $140 just including shorts and shirt. There’s an additional $15 value for about 40 pairs of soccer socks. They also need to buy the balls, set up a whole field and manage it, buy two $2000 goals, and supply water for the team. This cost is tremendously high, and that is only one sport. Some schools are even cutting out electives such as Home Economics. Cutting out electives will surely increase their money budget and thus, schools will not have to lay off teachers.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> __College Education Impact__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> Colleges are looking to cut costs when tight financing comes around and are increasingly hiring outside companies to do everything from running dorms to taking out the trash. Outsourcing helps those colleges to save money and offer better services to students and faculty. Some colleges also are extending their budgets by partnering with other on purchases, outsourcing and internal functions.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> A huge problem that has overcome this country is that stores are getting supplied with their products by other countries. This means that the economy of these countries is stable. They obviously have to make the products in factories, and factories supply jobs. The U.S. has only a few factories compared to a country like China

In fact, outsourcing is directly intertwined with employment. They are inseparable, which causes issues. Of course, where there is such issues regarding employment, government and politics occur. Shall we start with employment? When globalization occurs, some jobs can be done cheaper elsewhere. These jobs include everything from tech support to secretaries to educators. Unfortunately for many in the West, corporations are finding ways to save money by sending jobs overseas, to places like India or China. People in other nations are getting better jobs, being employed easier and in a more beneficial position to do work that Western companies find easy and cheap to have them do instead of their own countrymen. It is a rather simple concept that causes much disruption.

When there are no jobs, government is seen as responsible. In a flat world, things like this happen. Government can sometimes act to manipulate the flat world and stop its consequences, and sometimes it cannot. Thomas Friedman in <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">//The World is Flat// <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> seems to promote the latter idea. Of course, government breeds politics, mainly concerning the argument of whether or not the government should act. Government has acted in the past, and politics has influenced it.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> The debate on globalization and outsourcing continues to rage. Globalization has a nice sound to it, but outsourcing has a connotation of unemployment, jobless Westerners. What will become of the argument is not known, and what should become of it is a political question. Should government intervene or should it allow free trade to do as it pleases, even if there are pains that come from it.

In fact, outsourcing is finding work in other nations, and work is about <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">//jobs.

How are we going to create jobs if they keep getting sent to other places? The answer is we aren’t. If we don’t start to make the product in America, we will not see a steady economy for a while. Its already been since 2009 when the market crashed, now its 2012 and very little things have changed. People are still out of work, unable to find jobs, and are living off unemployment benefits instead of going out to look for new jobs.

Artists need to balance creating art, promoting art and recharging their personal and creativity. And they can do that by outsourcing. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> They outsource work to some of the best companies in the business, but they wouldn’t be successful unless they supervised their work closely. ** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> Getting packaging designs done for their product line is something that requires the designer and the client to interface quite a bit as that can make or break a product. **

While parts are shipped somewhere to be assembled, people are also shipped if they're part of the company that’s being outsourced.

Even though the company may not exist in the country anymore, it isn't gone yet; it could still be outsourced to other countries without that kind of law. So, those who work on that job could potentially harm the environment. Globally, although the work is spread to other countries and worked together to make one huge success in business, its not going to affect the environment that well! So, outsourcing is one thing that could help itself, but not throughout the whole world. Generally, Globalization/Environmental sustainability does not go well together.

Outsourcing clearly revolutionized the information technology in the 1990's and the 2000's. People believe outsourcing has the potential to revolutionize science research. This is indeed a very hard task though. It's clear that doing this, scientists will need providers but doing this will bring a lot of difficulties into the hands of the scientists. They need to communicate with them and pay them, which is complicated. Outsourcing science will bring up a lot of new and useful science experiments that should help out the whole world. It's an important way to revolutionize the world. By sharing data and other research through communication over different media, the scientific research would be more efficient and accurate.

In fact, outsourcing is finding work in other nations, and work is about <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">//jobs.
