Thomas Friedman (2008) argues that “the world is flat.” He claims
that globalization has flattened the world over the years, and it will
continue to do so. On the contrary, Pankaj Ghemawat (2012) argues
that “actually, the world isn’t flat.”
Instructions:
To critique the two experts’ views, you are expected to watch
Thomas Friedman’s short video, “What Thomas Friedman means when he
say” and watch Pankaj Ghemawat’s TED Talk, Actually, the world isn’t
flat.

Journal Questions:
1. What does Thomas Friedman mean by globalization and why
does he argue that “the world is flat”? What are Friedman’s main
reasons for his argument that the new era of globalization is
producing a “flat world”? Explain his argument and describe
some of the specific reasons and examples he provides to support
his position.
2. According to Pankaj Ghemawat, what does he mean by
globalization and why does he argue that the world isn’t as flat as
Friedman claims? Explain Ghemawat’s argument and describe
some of the specific evidence and examples he gives to support
his position. For example, what are some of the assumptions we
make about globalization that are untrue? What do levels of
internationalization (cross-border activities) tell us about how
“globalized” the world actually is? Why is it important to be
accurate when making claims about globalization?
3. In your opinion, is globalization making the world flat? Between
Friedman and Ghemawat, whose argument do you find more
compelling, and why? Briefly compare and contrast the two authors’
positions on this critical debate about the extent of globalization, and
clearly explain why you find one point of view more convincing than the
other.
