Describe the challenges and opportunities of globalization in a ""flattened"" world.

Answer and explanation:

American journalist and writer Thomas Friedman (born in 1953) in his book "The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century" (2005) uses the term "flattening" to describe the phenomena by which the world is tearing down barriers thanks to computers and the internet and its impact in the worldwide economy.

Having a flattened world has allowed commerce to spread massively. Buyers and sellers from anywhere on the planet can match their needs on a web page. Besides, job opportunities have increased mostly for developing countries since work is taken to those regions due to cheaper labor costs. But the last situation represents an advantage for workers but a disadvantage at the same time. The labor force in the company's domestic countries is affected by the outsourcing of work.

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
