There are stereotypes demonstrated in the movie Outsourced. Firstly, Asha’s marriage is under the parent’s agreement, that arranged marriage is illegal in some West countries and Asian countries such as China. Asha has been engaged when she was four years old, that is ridiculous in twenty-first century. Secondly, in movie Outsourced Tod did not get married, and he was though being a homosexual. There is no regulation said people have to get married, in Western society, people pays attention to the cultivation of individual independence and pursuits the personal objectives in their life, not only marriage. Thirdly, Western has bias to India, think they are poor, outdated, and dirty. Honestly, India is developing very quickly including in technology and economy.

All five of these characters are given certain shapes and colors to go accordingly to what their emotion is. An example is that Anger is given

  • The Sarcastically Wonderful World of Outsourcing

    Globalization, or outsourcing, has been a hindrance on the American economy for the better part of twenty years. Outsourcing has cost millions of jobs in the United States over the past twenty years, and continues to create problems for the families in the United States. Outsourcing is a hindrance on the American economy, and will create a lasting effect on the college graduates and younger children of today. While outsourcing is bad for the American economy, it has been a growth factor for the economies of the countries such as India. However, India has a social caste system. The caste system determines what social class one is born into, and that person has to stay in that social class for their entire life. Therefore, the economy of that country would be better, but it would only help the rich get richer and politicians have a stronger effect on the poorer classes.

In Indian Father’s Plea by Robert Lake and Superman and Me by Sherman Alexie, the idea that a dominant culture can pose many threats to a minority culture is shown by Wind-Wolf and Alexie.

  • The Impact of Outsourcing

    There are many benefits to outsourcing, many reasons that company has to outsource some of its business. According to Robin Gareiss, “The No. 1 reason companies turn to outsourcers is to save money--64% say that’s the main goal of their outsourcing contracts” (3). Companies are able to save money because they outsource to another country, and the third party that is in the outsourcing contract, runs the business in that country and is able to pay wages in accordance with that country’s laws, which for the most part there are none. The business usually outsources to a developing nation, and as a result can pay much, much lower wages than if it were to stay within the US. This cost-saving idea has become a much strong reason for outsourcing since the economy has been in a recession, a...

Media globalization stands for the process in which film companies deliver images of national cultures to the whole world.

  • Analysis Of Arranging A Marriage In India

    1059 Words  | 3 Pages

    One of the main arguments for arranged marriages is that parents, being older and more experienced, are better able to find a suitable match for their children. This belief relies on the trust the offspring has that their parents understand what would be best choice or most suitable for their children. This trust is often discouraged by the individualist ideal and rebel teen mentality sponsored by American mass-media. However, in India trust between parent and child are common. When Nanda tried helping arrange a marriage, we see that parents in India weigh many considerations when choosing partners for their children including the statuses of the individuals (including their caste and career path), the social dynamics between the members of both households, and what resources the other family and potential partner have. At least in the case given in the reading, this process can be though and produce a good marriage with stable family ties. Another argument made for arranged marriage is that since the parents are handling the marriage, the children are free to enjoy life and not worry about the details. To a lesser degree in our country, people delegate part of the relationship forming process to others by allowing friends, family, and dating sites or shows to play matchmaker. Though in general, in America the person who would be in the relationship is more involved, and has to worry about handling some of the details. In India, culture is more dependent on family structure so marriage is just as much about forming ties between families as the couple itself, which is part of the reason why the family is so involved in these

    Throughout the course of this paper, I have discussed Hofstede’s five cultural dimensions where I broke down these dimensions. Additionally, I have stated how India tends to appreciate the hierarchical relationship structure, is a collectivist country and leans towards being a more masculine society. Additionally, India tends to possess a medium to low preference towards uncertainty avoidance and leans towards being a future oriented society. Having lived in the United States for almost a decade I think I have become more “Americanized”. India is a great country and I’ll always visit it in the future, but from the way things are going I am going to permanently settle down in New York where I would like to start my career and family.
