The World is Flat

While it was discovered long ago that The world is round, it hasn't stopped the recent talk that the world is flat. One will ask with this, what does that mean, why would one say that the world is flat when wee obviously know that it is not true, we know that the world is in the shape of a sphere. The reason for one to say that the world is flat and not round is the rapid increase of globalization. Many people can now talk to each other weather one is in Egypt and the other in Canada. Many people can talk while they drive. And yes people can even talk to one another with out using their voices by sending a message instantly over their phone.
Many jobs have gone across sea as well. A perfect example of this is when a individual calls their phone company, they are likely calling some place in India. They have India people learn the English lingo and accent to sound as modern as possible. The high side is that by moving their company over sea they have less tax to pay and they do not have to deal with the American Minimum wage, like the United States. While some are unaware of the deals that the company is making because of the globalization with the moving companies. In some ways it may hurt some American because they do not to have the jobs that are overseas that once sat on American soil and employed American people.
