Essay On The Movie Outsourced

959 Words4 Pages

“If you deprive yourself of outsourcing and your competitors do not, you're putting yourself out of business.” These famous words were once said by Lee Kuan Yew, the first prime minister of Singapore. Outsourcing is a part of our everyday life, even when it comes to movies. The movie “Outsourced” released in 2006 as a romantic-comedy and tells the story of a man called Todd Anderson who works for an American company which call center gets outsourced to Gharapuri, an Indian city. There he not only has to deal with cultural differences like only eating with your right hand or packed trains but also with employees who think way differently than the ones he had to work with back home in Seattle. Josh Hamilton plays the main protagonist Todd …show more content…

I support this idea but I do not think that the movie showed it in a realistic way. Why did Todd never call his friends or coworkers at home to see how they are doing? How realistic is it to suddenly live by an old woman instead of a hotel where Todd should have stayed? The romance was not realistic as mentioned already mentioned above and the jokes were also very dull. A huge factor of the humor was playing with stereotypes, which is just not my cup of tea. But if I had to watch the movie again, I would. Even though I criticized it so much, the movie lives of its characters who I think are very charming. I wanted to know if Puro can marry his girlfriend and if Ahsa will fight against her traditions and marry Todd. The characters were light-hearted and charming, which made the movie worth watching despite its many mistakes. That is also the reason why I would grade it with a C. It was not necessary a good movie. It did not display the effect out outsourcing in a realistic way and it was not even funny or romantic, but the characters were likeable and made me follow the story. The movie is something to watch Sunday afternoon with cookies and a cup of tea, but it is definitely not the right movie to watch if you want to learn about

  • Critical Summary Of Your Local News By Barbara Ehrenreich

    In Barbara Ehrenreich’s article, “Your Local News”, her ideas about outsourcing help the reader understand Fareed Zakaria’s thesis that we are living through a power shift called “The Rise of The Rest” by explaining that America is not declining but is helping everyone else rise above. These authors come together to further understanding of the shift of power that has occurred due to outsourcing, putting America in the backseat of progression, but not out of the race. Ehrenreich introduces his ideas by explaining that “in the eighties, US companies began outsourcing the manufacturing of everything from garments to steel…”, but by the nineties, “back office and call center jobs migrated to India” (609). This helps the readers understand Zakaria when he he tells his readers that “for the first time ever, we are witnessing genuinely global growth.”

    In order to determine the whether an outsourcing activities would have a positive or negative impact an evaluation of the activity should be undergone. This evaluation examines the required coordination, strategic control, and intellectual property characteristics of the activity (Chase & Jacobs, 2013, p.444). The required coordination aspect examines the difficulty to complete the activity with limited interaction due to geographical locations. Outsourcing an activity that would result in a large amount of back-and-forth exchange would not be wise to proceed (Chase & Jacobs, 2013, p.444).
