The world is becoming flat. Companies these days are outsourcing their jobs like no other. Most major companies these days have call centers in another country. They do this so it is cheaper for them to operate. Some of the major companies in include Dell, AOL, and Microsoft. In Texas people complain about other people taking their jobs, but really we should start blaming the companies and not the people. Eventually if the trend remains the same almost all companies will have offices outside of the United States. I believe the outsourcing of jobs could be a part of the problem we are having economically right now. If companies were to remain in the United States and give jobs to the citizens, the money would stay in the U.S and we would be in better shape economically. I don't know if there is any law preventing companies from outsourcing their jobs but I think there should be some kind of “rule” set in place. I don't like the whole idea of the world becoming flat and such. I believe as an American that we should be different and try to stand out. I wouldn't be surprised if in the future we develop a “global bill” much like the Euro but for the entire world. The way things are going I think we should try to become more isolated like the United States was before.

I completely agree with what was said about America not needing to outsource to other countries due to our economic downfall. The only problem with these large companies trying to keep jobs in the United States is that most Americans who don't have the necessary skills to work the computers and don't really want to be telemarketers. I see daily on Craigslist companies trying to get anyone to work for Dell,XBOX, etc. and no one will work these jobs unless there is high pay and health insurance involved. The fact is that most Americans want a lot for nothing and large scale companies need reliable people to get the job done. People from other countries don't have anywhere as close as a chance to get a good pay for their families and a possible chance at a great life outside of America. I don't know how to fix the problem of outsourcing but I would imagine if laws went into effect where companies had to pay as much money to the workers in other countries as they would in America it would help the problem. With a law like that in place I would think that it would also help other countries build better stronger lives for all our brothers and sisters on earth.
