The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the 21st C

Section 1, Lectures 1 – 6; Section 2, Lectures 1 – 4 and Thomas Friedman’s text (2007), The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the 21st C [3.0] Chap 1 through Chapter 8, pg. 348. In this course material, there are some views of the process and impact of globalization that are in agreement between lecture and Friedman’s book, and others where differing view points are explored.  In Section 2, Lecture 1, pg. 16 Taken from several sources, I wrote that “..advocates of population control share a concern for mass migration of the poor to their countries as well as for social unrest that could upset economic and political stability in the countries of the periphery.” After considering the materials you have read so far in this course, (listed above), address the following questions in your essay exam: In his book, Thomas Friedman discusses and analyzes what he calls “10 flatteners” and a ‘triple convergence’ that are, in his opinion, central aspects of the process of globalization in the 21st C. 1. From your reading so far, list the global “10 flatteners” that he presents. Identify what a “flattener” and a ‘triple convergence’ actually are according to Friedman. Briefly, how does he define the process of each? 2. Explain how Friedman portrays (through his own writing and other people’s views that he includes in support of his position) the impact of the ‘flattening of the world’ on the global movements of people (emigration, legal and illegal immigration) to America and Western Europe. 3. Compare and contrast his position, and others that he includes, with the views reflected in the lectures you have read so far. (See pg. 2)  – 2 – As you write your essay, do not argue from emotion. Identify and evaluate your position and statements based on the materials you have read so far. And, keep in mind that this is not a place to argue your personal views on politics, history, or economics. Use your reading materials to validate your arguments. Again, be specific.

ccording to your reading, the Chinese Exclusion Act set a precedent regarding immigration based on race or national origin

This week we read about American expansion abroad and belief in the “white man’s burden” to civilize backward nations and spread American libertas throughout the world. However, along the homefront, we learned that things were much different. In 1882, the government passed the first legislation that restricted immigration based on national origin and race. By passing the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882, the government closed the United States to certain Chinese immigrants for ten years and required every Chinese person entering or leaving the country to carry identification. At the same time, to pacify the concerns of American investors who thought the act might have a negative impact on trade with China, Congress excluded students, teachers, merchants, and diplomats from the act, and in 1888 the Scott Act amended the legislation to bar re-entry into the United States by Chinese residents if they left the country. The exclusion of Chinese lasted until 1943 when China became an American ally against Japan in World War II, at which time Congress repealed the Chinese Exclusion Act.  After completing the assigned reading and watching the video, answer the following:

  1. What side would you have taken and what can we learn from history about the immigration debates of today?
  1. Why might have investors been ok with students, teachers, merchants, and diplomats, but not others?
  1. According to your reading, the Chinese Exclusion Act set a precedent regarding immigration based on race or national origin. In what ways is this still prevalent today.
