Asians can do these jobs but maybe to help their own people. It is also very frustrating to call a helpline for a product like a computer and not be able to talk to someone you can understand.

If a job is worth a certain amount, why would someone from India do it for less $? Is it because what they're recieving is more than what they are used to?

We buy products because they look good…but why? Do we think that that makes us better, or happier? Mostly the answer is no. If designer toilet brushes weren’t made in the first place, no one would ever really care for one. We buy them and they are created from the huge amount of competition in this country because everyone wants to be the best. This is also in the right and left brain competition, I think that this book is sort of saying that people who are creative are so much better than logical people and that’s just not right. There will always be a place for logic and a place for being creative. Take building a car for example, a creative person can’t build a car alone, they don’t know the right measurements. And a logical person can’t just build a car alone because they don’t see the details or what some people will be looking at in design when buying it. Both right-brainers and left-brainers are needed for the future, one won’t be dominant over the other.shannanphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05423102894439816711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8725119065682380474.post-82740097979564903542008-01-11T10:27:00.001-08:002008-01-11T10:27:00.001-08:00but tasha, when you are faced with that desicion, ...but tasha, when you are faced with that desicion, which are you going to choose.
