The Other Side of Outsourcing

Reference: Youtube

A video recommended by my outsourcing lecturer. A video added 2 years ago in youtube. I do believe the video might have been made much earlier (did not really research on it though). It is also based on Thomas Friedman's "The World is Flat"

As to how you view outsourcing, is entirely subjective. Truth is outsourcing will exists. Truth is India, and many other countries, have already been affected. Truth is globalisation has taken place and we are no longer living a life our parents were living.

But it is still the same city. How we retain our traditions depend on ourselves. There might be youngsters who prefer hip-hop and MTV. But there will also be youngsters who loves Chinese wayang, and Chinese dance. There will still be youngsters in India who will cherish their own tradition values.

I wouldn't say globalisation is good or bad, it is just a necessary element to introduce change. However being a feminist, at least this change empowers India’s females. But is that a good thing?

Oh towards the end, there was this part where a lady was talking about quality of life, between village life and city life. I remember reading an article a few days ago about this guy (Singaporean) who chose to give up the city life and went into kampong life, a life he used to live in. He just wanted to be true to his dream.
