Week 10

In class we had a presentation by Thomas Friedman called "The World is Flat". This was a concept that I had previously seen and discussed in another class, so I was very familiar with the topic to begin with. It is a concept that I agree with overall, because as I have studied in other classes, globalization and the world market are real and are here to stay. With emerging countries and near-powerhouses in South America, Europe, and Asia, the global market is a place where money is to be made. I also think and fear that America being a perennial leader in the global market, may not be a statement we will be making too much longer. China, especially has proven that they are a market to be wrecking with.
