Prompt: Take about 20 minutes and post your reaction to Friedman's The World is Flat (rambling/ ranting is fine). Then, inspired (?) by the book, post a couple of globalization issues you'd like to learn more about. Here are a few questions to get you started or unstuck:

1. What do you like most about the book? Least?
2. What are some good points he makes? Some bad ones?
3. Identify a few specific spots that interest, annoy, or enlighten you.
4. Friedman is a journalist, not a business or technology or engineering professor. Find a spot where you think he knows (or doesn't) what he's talking about.

Possible topics from Mon:

• Media depictions of globalization
• Globalization and national standards
