Business from India
There was a short clip on CNN regarding the performance and operation of business from India. That was no surprise to me, considering that everytime I call Dell or Verizon Wireless, the technicians always have that Indian accent. I’m against overseas production because of the joblessness it causes domestically but that’s besides the point. On this blog, I avoid controversy and political statements.
Actually, aside from the staggering statistics that CNN clip offered, there was something else that caught my attention. The reporter mentioned that Indian laborers express respect for those higher in status to them. For example, if you are the manager of that division, they’ll address you as “Manager Bob” not “Mr. Bob”. And if you have a professional degree, they’ll add that title to the business card titles as it will earn respect and honor.

Who is the blame for the rising statistics of violence? Most say it is the television and media. Unfortunately, that is not the complete case or opinion. Look around you.

Technology has just creeped upon us.
Take the baby’s crib for example. Nowadays, you can buy automatic rocking cribs, which makes it unnecessary for a mother to cradle her child in her own arms.

I’m going to put it out to you flat right now: you will not meet your future spouse by bumping into her in the high school hall way. Love at first sight does not exist. That’s called infatuation. Infatuation may turn into love but the chances… 99.9% of the time, infatuation does not turn into love. Instead, it transforms into your destruction. I say this from not personal experience, by the way, but from observation of my friends and peers.
On the same line of thought, documentaries and movies are meant to be convincing. You must watch and understand them from a critical point of view. Just because they have good reasoning does not mean it is correct or relevant to the subject matter. Good reasoning and actuality are two different things. Good reasoning is how OJ Simpson was released. Actuality was probably something different.
