 * A) Overview **

 Globalization is the growing relationship between numerous countries around the world, through mainly economics. This happens through the decrease of trade barriers from different countries to allow a larger variety of different goods to be distributed across the gl obe. Globalization was first introduced in the early 1900’s, however, the popularity of this new idea slowed because of the two World Wars. Only until the 1960s did the idea finally start to become noticed and used. There are many different aspects and perspectives on Globalization, for example, Tomas L. Friedman saw that globalization, outsourcing, and supply chaining changed the world. The IMF had laid down 4 basic elements of Globalization in 2000. They are: the Dissemination of knowledge (and technology), the Migration and movement of people, trade and transactions, and capital and investment movements.("Globalization," 2012)  Outsourcing is the act of a business, normally a larger one, working with other businesses to do a certain t ask which would normally be accomplished by in-house employees. Outsourcing is normally done ith jobs such as payroll, or call centers. Large businesses contract smaller companies that specialize in a certain task to do work, this smaller business is normally located overseas. Outsourcing comes with a range of advantages. But the main advantage is that outsourcing saves money because the outsourcing services are much cheaper and they don’t need to provide benefits for their workers. (Thompson, 2012)

  **B) Current News**

Recently, due to bankruptcy, American Airlines had planned to cut 13,000 positions and move positions overseas to improve their profits by $3 billion. With just the closure of the Fort Worth Alliance Airport, about 1,200 employees anticipated to lose their jobs to other countries. Also, a paper converting Machine Company was given advice to lower its prices by 40% and outsource nearly all of its production to China, which, in turn, lowered the work force of the company by approximately 900 workers. China, the Philippines, India, and other countries are racing to work twice as hard as any American to get paid much, much less. Corporations know this and use it to their advantage, which saves them large sums of money.  With the times changing there are new innovations, with these innovation the world can be changed. An example of this is the recent formation of a site called Skype. Skype is a product that involves using the Internet to talk to a person through live video. With this ability there are many people who can talk to relatives that live in far away in different environments.

 Because of globalization, many small cultures have become even smaller. According to the Wall Street Journal, more than 7,000 languages will be extinct by the end of the century. Even though this is a negative effect of globalization, one good thing comes out of the problem. Many rare and close-to-extinct languages may be preserved with uploading. Fluent speakers of dying languages are now able to painstakingly record words in a language and upload them onto an audio dictionary. This gives anyone access to the language online and the language will be preserved forever. To the right are a few children in Papua New Guinea that can speak Matukar Panau, an endangered language. There are an estimated 600 speakers of the language today. The villagers that speak Matukar Panau are hoping to record their language onto an audio dictionary, but currently the village does not have access to a computer.

Three main categories of education will be impacted by the worlds transition into Globalization; Elementary School, Junior/High School, and College. Each stage of education will be impacted differently. For example the common Elementary School, English has become the world’s international language, so not only will this continue to be taught in Elementary schools across America, but it will be stressed. And with Globalization ‘flattening’ the world, or in other words, making the world the same everywhere, Americas Elementary School education may begin to take a similar form or Europe's education.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Learning in college about outsourcing and globalization can be key to success for one's future. Some manufactures are investing in highly-trained workers. Untrained employees can cost major companies money with mistakes they make on the job. Untrained employees also work slower than someone who would be willing to work for less overseas.[6] Colleges themselves are striving to include outsourcing courses in their schools. Taking these kinds of courses also give students a MOU (a memorandum of understanding) which is necessary for them to acquire an associate’s degree. The students can have a better grasp of what they are going up against so they can be prepared for their futures.[7] === <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium; text-decoration: none;">  <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium; text-decoration: none;">D) Government, Politics and Employment  ===

With the new flat world’s great technology, we can easily spread advertisement anywhere around the world, ranging from 5th grade president to the President of the United States. With all new and popular websites on the Internet advertisements can be seen everywhere, allowing government officials to take a lead in the game when others have not converted to the flat world. However, many problems can come from this Internet advantage. Unknown sources can spread many lies and rumors of political officials and cripple what chance they had. No matter how much red tape is put on these awful websites they continue to seep past and destroy many. Now, most fear trying to connect with people over the Internet due to what has happened to so many others.

In the book “The World is Flat” it is stated that Outsourcing is a great thing to happen to many countries. When truly it is one of the worst things that can have happen to America. America is a perfect example of what over Outsourcing can do. Before some companies of ours just wanted to save some cash by shipping some jobs here and there to other countries. It gave some people in India and China a nice job and did not affect our economy. But 79% of companies realized how much they could save by mass Outsourcing to India and China. This caused many debates in our government, and laws hastily passed. This Free Trade forces us to continue to Outsource and exploit the poorest countries in the world. It leads to a “race to the bottom” in wages, work safety, and environmental standards, says John Stossel. And he is correct, the more we keep lowering the pay for these jobs they could end up easily costing as much as a McDonald’s cashier job. When Outsourcing seemed like the perfect heaven to save money and create jobs all over the world, it will in fact be our great down fall if not carefully watched.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> A few schools in the United States are currently making plans to outsource school jobs. Schools are looking for cheaper ways to keep the hallways clean, put food onto kids lunch trays, and drive the children to get to their classes on time. The reason for all this outsourcing is that many schools in the United States have seriously low funding. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> The National School Transportation Association (NSTA) recommends outsourcing jobs.<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> “  <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #4d4d4d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">Outsourcing has proved successful in almost all cases where schools have partnered with private companies to provide transportation. While maintaining control over transportation through contract stipulations, school administrators who convert to contracted transportation are able to redirect both energies and resources to their core function, education.“ <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">("Nation al school transportation," 2012) To outsource a field of jobs, a school can hire a private company to supply workers. Although the work is supplied more cheaply, the employees wages are dramatically reduced and there are little to no job benefits. Quality of work may also take a turn for the worst if outsourced employees are hire. Freeman, M. (2012, February 12). Palm beach county schools consider outsourcing because of budget shorfall.

Instead of just experimenting in one company alone on a disease, illness, or problem outsourcing allows the scientists and health industries to expand and share their information. For example if China found a new cure in cancer, they would share the information to India allowing them to collaborate with us. Then we can use it and with the new minds joining in we can improve the cure, by making it more efficient then it was before hand. It helps scientist find new up-to-date information within their range of what their field of science already knows. The new ideas/information can be found all over, since an experiment is suppose to be tested repeatedly people in places such as the US, Mexico, India, and England all have the right to revise, tweak the experiment or finding.
 * <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"> Environment **

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; display: block; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Outsourcing also has an important impact on the environment. It has done so much such as shipping things and also companies collaborate with things such as global-warming issues and techniques that can improve and decrease these issues. The most common environment issue is the placement of factories. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Like many factories are mainly all placed on areas such as forests or untouched habitats. Killing the home of living animals. This effects the air we breathe limiting the carbon dioxide we need to breathe and causes an expansion of the endangered animals we already have. Although it does benefit the companies, it helps them save money, and sometimes a whole lot then bargained for. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> Globalization has also affected the survival pattern of various types of plants and animals. A particular geographical area is recognized by the distributions of its life patterns. Disruption of vegetation for industrialization by taking a specific species and bringing it to a different area leads to the loss of valuable plant species and loss of endangered animal species due to loss of habitat.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> **<span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: center;"> Health ** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> Traditionally, the globalization and outsourcing of things have to do with the health <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; display: block; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> systems that have been closed for international ideas, and were originally nationally focused. But recently, outsourcing has begun to become more helpful for health jobs, studies and projects. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">For example, many people travel abroad to other countries to get medical care that may not be available in the country that they had come from. The sharing of ideas within this field world-wide may help people accomplish many things whether if it's finding a cure for a disease, finding results to an experiment, or improving technology that will help health-care in hospitals.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> Outsourcing also works with the health industry helping with the information processing in our outsourcing environment. Their objective is to outline the factors that need to be considered to effectively address the issue of processing of personal health data and information irrespective of the location where it is processed. It helps opening new job opportunities. They are also using outsourcing as a cost controlling strategy enabling health care organizations to redirect scarce staff resources.

It helps new/old artists and art collectors combine their work and pieces together, Companies all over the world use it because it allows them to focus on other business issues while having the details taken care of by outside experts.It has been widely used in the game industry particularly for art. It attracts people such as game developers seeking to finish their project on time and on budget. The art industry has really moved on from "high art" to pop culture paintings/work. Also internet artists are all over the now showcasing their work online to a larger audience. With this technique opportunities have been opened all over the world for the creative and talented artists. Helping professional and amateur artists showcase their art all over the world.

Across our printing, publishing, and broadcasting industries it has helped reduced costs and gaining flexibility. Doing all this helps them innovate application-outsourcing solutions. It also takes a big part in movies, our television, in our mobile devises, and internet access. Allowing countries to share the information they collect and improve and also save more money with the low costs they offer and provide. Allowing access on things such as mobile devices and the internet creates a huge impact on how media is exchanged, and marketed. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">With the increasing about of contributors and consumers, the entertainment industry has been having a huge profit increase. Entertainment will also be affected by Globalization and Outsourcing. Depending on how many hours an individual spends on the Internet, watching television, or any other form of media, due to new technology advances, we can access media from other countries as well. With media, comes entertainment. Movies, television show, Podcasts, everything is already shown in multiple countries with multiple languages. However, with the increase of outsourcing and Globalization, perhaps eventually the world can all be multilingual, with one standard language, and everything can be streamed in said standard language. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> Leisure also uses outsourcing and globalization as an advantage. Since leisure and cultural activities usually take place over grounds that have been sold to the industry, they need to build more to expand their choices. So they are more able to attract a larger amount tourists and also enlarge our wastelands. To do so they use outsourcing to collaborate with other companies, allowing them to expand all over the world. It works with cultural activities because over the years more and more people all over have been traveling to countries, sight-seeing, and more. Many of the tourist and leisure based projects are running the up growth or cities all over. It also increases their amount of residents which then helps contribute to the industry growth in that country, or city.
