Student Summit

      The first time I heard about the flatclassroom project, to be frank i thought it was a waste of time and i had little interest in it but as time went i began to understand the essence of the program. My project for the program is Globalization and Outsourcing. I have got to understand that globalization is basically the reduction in trade barriers among countries which has enhanced trade and led to the expansion of a countless number of businesses.
      The concept of outsourcing corresponds to a lot of issues but it mainly refers to employing labor oversees. Outsourcing of work has made businesses more productive and efficient in the sense that more businesses are maximizing profits and cutting down the cost.
       Even though Globalization and Outsourcing is good to the economy and the individual, it has it's disadvantages. The has been increasing percentages of unemployment lately due to globalization and outsourcing because businesses are employing cheap labor in other countries, leaving skilled labor in their resident countries unemployed.
       The flatclassroom project has taught me how to effectively collaborate with people from different countries and i am happy to be in this class.
