Well, I read the book, The World is Flat. While that implies a negative stigma, he actually does a surprising job of arguing for it as a good thing. Even if he invokes Godwin's Law 2.0, when he makes constant allusions to Al Quada. Fortunately, it isn't used to discredit the idea of globel flattening, so it seems to work.
It does, however, tie in interestingly to "The dip." If the globe is becoming more flat, the "Best in the world" is beginning to really mean "best in the world" A person must compare themselves to people from other countries to do the simplest of jobs. Such as "Working at Burger King." There goes my job plans...

Hihi!
Hello, it's me, Mitchell, from class. You know, the kid who's always goofing on his laptop? (And the guy who the teacher previously made fun of.)
This is my first blog, and I jsut wanted to say I really enjoyed "The Dip." I still disagree big time with his idea of the necessity of being "Best in the World", though it can be rationalized, I guess. Still, the idea of Dips and Cual-de-sacs is really sound, and it makes sense. It might seem rather simple, and the author even acknowledges such, but a lot of people make those screw-ups!
Just wanted to get my first blog post in, and greet everyone! I look forward to comments, and to being commented on. I can't wait for the class on the ninth!
