What is the Essential Dividing Line Between Human Beings around the World?
Differences can be observed everywhere, even in the smallest detail. It can also be seen in many different forms, such as personality, point of view, interest, traits, and more. With these differences, the essence of categorizing and differentiating are being maximized. The uniqueness of an individual is also being shown through these concepts. However, still, the unfamiliarity of such differences to other perspectives will initiate questions and arguments. Moreover, until those are brought out in the light, the fundamentals of differences will be defined from different perspectives. For this reading, I am enlightened about how Friedman, Forsyth, and Gelfand view these differences that separate people from others in their perspectives.
In the article, It is a Flat World, Friedman disclosed the world’s opposite opinion than Christopher Columbus’s perspective. For Columbus, the world is to be considered round, but the world is flat for Friedman. Although in his perspective, he is not describing the world flat in a literal way, but rather, he used the world flat to describe the globalization that occurs in the whole world. In his article, he stated that when Nilekani said that the world is flat, Nilekani wanted to tell that India’s considered small countries are globally competitive. To elaborate, with the continuous growth of globalization and innovation of the economy, countries have been striving hard to develop their capabilities to fight globally. He stated that different countries are continuously evolving, that the ones who are considered big countries can now be seen equally to those who are small before. Although these changes can positively result, demerits in globalization can also be seen in his article. Nevertheless, the possibility that these changes which continue to happen will flatten the world into an equal world that will provide equal opportunities.
On the other hand, Forsyth’s Theresa May’s new third-way article shows the differences in politicians’ views. He named in his article some famous politicians in the countries of America, France, and Britain. His article’s main focus was Theresa May, a Prime Minister of Britain and is ten years older than David Cameron. From May’s perspective, she views globalization from a new perspective rather than the other politicians like Donald Trump and Marine Le Pen. May’s strategy was to let nationalists and globalists coexist and construct a third way to connect these two perspectives. She delivers to a bridge to promote peaceful communication between these two parties. That she would change their thinking that only one of these two can be on the top. Although this dream way can be achieved with their cooperation and the long process is determined to take place for such results, May and her followers still believe that this dream can turn into reality.
Lastly, culture was the focus of Gelfand in his article titled Here’s the science behind the Brexit vote and Trump’s rise. In his perspective, there are two categorizations of cultures that reflect the differences of every country....
