By now most of us can agree that the world is in fact flatter than we thought it was. As the final touches are placed in the platform of globalization we are forced to interact with different people and learn different things. I am originally from Guatemala, so I know about different cultural settings and growing up in a different type of government and economy. I didn't have much trouble adapting to the U.S., but me being a child then does not compare to what an adult has to go through in order to assimilate. As companies begin to flatten they interact with the world, this interaction can bring culture clashes. When a business interacts on a worldwide basis, someone has to leave behind certain cultural attributes to get rid of friction that may slow down production.
How much are you willing to give up, identity and rights, in order to keep up with globalization and your job?

Good question! I think I would give up a lot to keep up with the world and my job. The most important thing to me in a few years will be finding a job and I think I will have to give up a lot to find a job that I both like and pays well. From there I will have to give up more to climb the job ladder and I am willing to do that.
Yeah, growing up in Guatemala has got to be different. But like you said in class, you got to America and had way less work. You weren't really challenged as much anymore. See, Americans aren't disciplined to learn how to learn.
