The World is Flat (5)

In some ways the flat world is a positive thing for America. People can connect with people so much easier in a flat world and people rely on technology a lot. Outsourcing is a positive thing for America because it saves companies money while doing the exact same work. Outsourcing could also be viewed as a negative thing for America because by moving work to another country, Americans are losing jobs. Supply-Chaining is a positive thing for America because it means collaborating among suppliers, retailers, and customers to make something valuable for everyone. For the flat world to really be a positive thing for America, the people need to be willing to change the ways in which they live in order for the new technology to help them and be a good thing for them. Everyone in America has to collaborate to make the flat world become a positive environment for them. Yet, sometimes people do not want change in their lives.
