Thinking About Globalization



Some of the main visual elements in this cartoon are; a young angry girl, a older man reading a news paper, and a speech bouble saying "No you may not outsource your homework to India." The issue that the cartoonist is expressing is that becuase of globalizatiion, outsourcing in piticular, people in already delveloped nations are slowly becoming lazy about there work. And there becoming lazy about there work because they are having it done by other people, and making a profit out of it. I this case, the girl is lazy because shes not doing her work, but she gets a profit (good grades). Based oon what I've gathered so far, i would to say that the cartoonist does not like the concept of outsourcing. This specific cartoon relates to the concept of globalization, because it is one of the ten flattener's. Some other techniques the cartoonist could have used to make this drawing more persuasive is probably add in a line for the girl such ass : "why not? The work gets done doesn't it?" or "Why should i have to do may work?" that would probably make this piece's idea clearer.
