The world is flat

I watched two movies related to India in a row, but neither of them were made in India. From the movies of other countries, I can recognize the charm of another country. Although this "The World Is Flat" is not a surprising work, but focusing on the rising South Asian India through the phenomenon of global corporate outsourcing, it is inevitable that it has a taste of keeping up with the times. The ability to hire 8 people for the salary of one person in the United States can easily be achieved in a populous country such as India. Profit-oriented American entrepreneurs have outsourced their business here. The call center managed by Todd is one of the outsourcing. project. In order to make the call center adapt to the working conditions in the United States as soon as possible, the company also sent Todd to India to train employees. It is estimated that this is something that any American is unwilling: outside the Indian airport is a taxi for business, and getting on the train is required. Following those who jumped up, urinate and urinate anywhere...there were low-quality people everywhere, which made Todd very disgusted. What makes Todd even more difficult to understand is the collision of concepts, culture and customs: when strangers meet, they directly ask about their privacy; to take food, use the right hand, because the left hand is used to go to the toilet, so there is no toilet paper in the toilet here; older I was mistaken for homosexuality when I was not married; living apart from my family was regarded as a treason; there were hamburgers here, but there was absolutely no beef... All this made Todd, an American white-collar worker, often embarrassed and embarrassed. It is similar to the plot in many American movies—developing countries' contempt and ridicule of developing countries, and the rejection and erosion of American ideas against other countries. However, in India it has been strongly refuted. The arrogance and xenophobia of the Americans are regarded by the Indians as disrespect for their country, beliefs, culture and life. In India, a kind of equality of race, concept and culture has been realized. Actively strive for. Later, at the Holi Festival full of colors and celebrations, the American gradually took off his out-of-fit suit jacket and began to integrate into Indian traditions and beliefs. This was a relaxed start. Some people may think that the film is derogatory and partial to India, and it is suspected of slandering India. I have no way of commenting. After all, I have never been to India; but I think if I can put away this inferiority mentality or poor country mentality or hatred. If you have a rich mentality, you will be able to knock down reality more calmly and calmly. Because in my opinion, even if the United States and India have too much development and development, too much freedom and restraint, too much modernity and tradition, too much new trend and tacky friction and conflict; but they can still maintain the conflict. One's own beliefs and self-identification are the common secrets of the rise of different powers in the world. The name of the movie is "The World Is Flat", which means that with the development of economy and the rapid advancement of science and technology, the boundaries and walls between each other have been flattened, exchanges have become fast, convenient and effective, and globalization has gradually evolved. As a habit, what was originally one's own is recognized and changed. Persistence and cowardice, integration and rejection, creation and destruction have all become the themes of this evolution. Whether it is good or bad, different people have different opinions. China, are you ready?
