This week’s reflection essay is based on the topic of outsourcing. Your essay will answer the questions posed in prompt # 1 of the Geographic Connections section of Chapter # 8: South Asia of our course textbook (page 453).

“One of the current issues in the United States involves the so-called outsourcing of jobs: the transfer of salaried employment from American to foreign locations. Many economists say that this is a logical outgrowth of globalization, that it involves comparatively few jobs, and that it helps U.S. companies survive competition to which they might otherwise succumb –costing more jobs that the outsourcing did in the first place. India has become a major player in the outsourcing of certain jobs…

“What are these jobs?” …

“Where in India do they cluster and why?” …

“Do language and/or time-zone location have anything to do with India’s success, and if so, how?” (de Blij and Muller 2010: 453)

After reading this chapter of the textbook, write an essay based on these questions. Most of your essay must be written using your own words only. You must also include a complete reference of the source/s you have used at the end of your essay, including the course textbook (a complete reference of this source is available in the course syllabus and at the end of this prompt).

Remember that there are no right or wrong answers, but you must present an argument that supports and/or rejects your position regarding this topic, applying the concepts learned in our course.
