Japan doing it the American way who would of thought.

There are many countries in the world but America offshores and outsources the most. Many people don’t really think about other countries outsourcing or offshoring but it happens all the time around us the really thing to think about is if all countries offshore or outsource like America. Well I’m here to tell you not all countries can be like America. Japans outsourcing and offshoring helps Japan out sometimes depending on the situation.
Japan is not a very large country; it is small so they do try to get other resources from other countries. Yet at the same time offshoring and outsourcing isn’t something they are too big on doing. There are people who are outsourcing themselves and some companies who outsource but not that many. And from what I’ve gathered Japan doesn’t offshore much either. But before I go on to a better understand of what I’m going to talk about let me explain to you the differences of offshoring and outsourcing. Offshoring is the practice of basing some of a company's processes or services overseas, so as to take advantage of lower costs. Outsourcing is to obtain (goods or a service) from an outside or foreign supplier especially in place of an internal source. From what I’ve researched it seems that both of these things are good for Japan but they don’t really do it much. I mean I guess that would have to do with Japan kind of sticking to themselves mostly. Or the fact that Japan is all about nature with the Shinto religion so maybe they would prefer to use their own resources instead of focusing on others resources.

            I’m pretty sure outsourcing and offshoring helps Japans economy more than hurts them but in a way it could hurt the economy. It’s good because people who outsource themselves are working so it’s not like there aren’t any jobs for the people of Japan because people are outsourcing themselves getting jobs in other places then Japan but I guess at the same time this is bad because people are leaving Japan and their companies and going to another country like China. Offshoring seems like it doesn’t happen that much because I literally spent a while on google searching for places Japan offshoring other than India and some site mentioned China but they didn’t back it up or anything.  Japan’s Outsourcing Inc bought a majority stake in Bangalore-based hiring firm Alp Consulting so they could increase its reach in India’s fast growing employment market. Since India has a larger percentage of people they hope that their company can grow more.

So paske mwen pale Kreyol mwen un moun fou?


Mwen pa janm konnen pou ki sa moun toujou vle pale angle. Tout moun vle pale angle epi le yo fin konnen ki jan pou yo pale angle yo kite kreyol.  tonkou yo pat janm pale lang lan nan la vie yo. Angle e pou moun blanc yo le ou pale avek moun blan ou parle angle. Angle ayisyen pa menm bon men yo fe efo.  Le ou parle deux lang li pas fasil.  Si ou ayisyen ameriken le ou pale ou gen yon aksan. lè ou pale avek aksan pafwa moun fè plezi a ou. Mwen menm gen de fwa le ti fre mwen pale kreyol mwen fe plezi avek li paske li pa pale li byen. Le Anzaldua pale de lang li e  li montre kouman lang li pa pou li mwen konprann li paske gen kek fwa mwen santi lang mwen pa lang mwen. Mwen pa kab pale lang mwen avek moun ki pa ayisyen yo pap ka pab konprann mwen. Si mwen di yon mo an kreyol yo gade mwn tonkou mwen mwen se yon moun ki fou. Mwen pa kab pale kreyol lekol mwen e mwen pa pale kreyo anpil  avek manman mwen paske li pale angle avek nou. mwen pale kreyòl lè m al nan legliz e le m te al ayiti. Mwen pap di mwen pa renmen lang mwen. Non mwen renmen pale an kreyol avek lot ayisyen zanmi mwen. Mwen juste pa renmen si mwen avek moun ki pa pale kreyol e yo vle mwen di yo ki sa m’ap di like retire ko ou nan konvesasyon mwen. So pou mwen le’m pale avek moun mwen code switch anpil mwen pale kreyol avek granmoun nan fanmi mwen men mwen pale angle avek fre mwen e zanmi mwen. Mwen rete nan un peyi ki garde ou tankou ou fou si ou pa pale angle selman avek yo.  Menm li pa confuse mwen. E juste jan mwen vive la vie’m. lang mwen se lang mwen. E mwen ta vreman epresye moun pa garde mwen dwol ou pale mwen mal paske mwen pa pale standard English. Si mwen pale angle mal e paske mwen leve nan un kay ki pa pale angle byen. E mwen noir so pou ki sa ou bezwen jije m '. kite mwen pale jan mwen vl. Epi dats it!
Reflection
Si ou mande mwen si mwen ka kominike byen avek moun konsa mwen
Ta di ou non. That’s impossible to speak to people like this. Yo pa kap konprann mwen yo tap use google translate for the the whole time mwen tap pale or tell me to translate. I think we don’t need standard English mein ou pa kap pale lot lang avek moun e exppecte yo konnen sa yap di. So se yon mechanste wap fe. Mwen ta di talking na lang pa ou should be more allowed and not frowned upon. Mein mwen pa kab di moun sispun pale angle and speak other languages.

My thesis is that just because you speak another language and have to learn English doesn’t mean that you have to completely terminate the other language.  You should be able to speak broken English if that’s best for you and be able to speak your own language without people looking at you like you’ve grown 5 heads. The fact that my family doesn’t speak English and I’m black so I know black English more than standard English should not be a flaw people find in me but a good thing.

America Possible call me beep me if you want to reach me!

As the World’s mom and personal police officer America always knows what’s happening with every country. To quote from the Kim possible theme song doesn’t matter where doesn't matter when will be there for ya til the very end. Danger or trouble I'm there on the double you know that you always can call Kim Possible (America in our case). It’s just what America does. America never actually sit down and say hey we should probably do something about our own country.  You know how about those college students and they debt they will have after college we should lower that or I don’t know work on jobs and the economy before rolling out to war. But hey what do I know I mean I am just 17. And Ukraine seems to be way more essential then my college life, or whether people have good jobs, or if our economy is doing well. But back to America being everyone’s mom we most likely will get involved but what about other countries?  If we are the mom and other countries are our babies that make them siblings/cousins so who will help who? Do other countries get news reports on Ukraine and Russia every day or do they get no news at all? Do they even care what’s going on with the two countries?

Well from what I’ve gathered in my research most countries are talking about it in the same way we are. I mean I highly doubt they post something new every 10 minutes like us but they still seem to be updating the people on the situation at hand and what is really going on with the two countries. In the Japan times news I felt they went in depth about the situation talking about the oil and basically the reason why people are worried about the war. They talked about how it would affect them and Nissans. The article was basically about companies and how the debacle between the two countries does affect them in some way and they continue to talk about it throughout the whole article. Whereas the Times of India’s article on the subject seemed less in detail about how it would affect them and more on background of what is happening. They sectioned the article nicely starting with talking about the president’s role in all this and even talking about Crimea. Of course countries aren’t as in depth with things as America and probably aren’t updating the status of the countries actions every two minutes like its Facebook, but they are reporting what is going on to the people.
