    Offshoring is the process of relocating a specific business process or department of the company to another country (usually to a third world country or a country with less regulations/laws). The YouTube video, Offshoring, filmed by Morph based on the book Offshoring by John Urry explains why a company decides to use this business strategy as a course of action, and then it discusses the problems that arise in the country where the company has chosen to offshore. An analysis of the video reveals that the maker used logos to further support its ethos and used pathos in its graphics to both inform and persuade the reader. The article “Why we can all stop worrying about offshoring and outsourcing” written by Ben Heineman for The Atlantic online…

    "Its been said that arguing against globalization (and many of the issues related to globalization) is like arguing against the laws of gravity." This statement comes from Kofi Annan, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2001 and also became the seventh secretary general of the United States (The Nobel Foundation, 2001). The quote introduces, in its broadest sense, the issue discussed in this paper. While the general idea of globalization is not our primary focus in this report, one of the most controversial subjects to arise out of the globalization phenomenon, offshore outsourcing, is of particular interest to us. Offshore outsourcing (hereafter used interchangeable with offshoring) has been around for some time now. The pressure to transfer business processes over-seas first came from Japan in the 1960's, then from Mexico in the 1990's, and today the pressures are coming from China and India for goods and services, respectively. Offshore outsourcing is the same as any other form of international trade; in fact, it is an extension of international trade. Thus, economic theories such as comparative advantage and absolute advantage apply to the basic idea of offshore outsourcing.…
