https://www.facebook.com/lightskindarkskin - What is this page about ? We all know have heard of the great debate ... #TeamDarkSkin vs. #TeamLightSkin. We're not here to separate our community but rather celebrate the black community as one color . Even though there may be stories behind our different shades, we are still perceived and should be united as one. ( P.S. Just two teenage girls of color doing something good for once )

America is the main debater on the topic of outsourcing.   Many other countries, the ones that companies are being outsourced to, rarely have a large input in the debate.   They’re benefiting from increased employment, more money in their economy and are becoming more developed.   However, Apurva Bose shares an Indian perspective on the topic.   Bose candidly, using metanoias and antanagoges, sheds light on the dangers for the eager workers that find only great opportunity in offshoring.
Throughout her article, Bose uses a candid tone to address her audience. She keeps a neutral tone to balance the pros and cons of outsourcing for both India and the US and Europe. After addressing her turn down of an outsourced position because of the loss of talent in the position, she then explains the enjoyment of many other job seekers who would gladly take the position.  Next she addresses the benefit of the US’s and Middle East contracts then point out the US’s weakening dependency on the Middle East as outscoring continues. She continues this tone to fulfil her article’s title. She is giving an Indian perspective, not an extreme nationalist Indian, not an uninformed Indian, not an Indian American perspective, but an Indian perspective. Her writing isn’t filled with jargon, overwhelming facts or a complexity. Her writing is straightforward. Her candid tone allows her to deliver her claim more effectively, relaxing her audience and increasing her chances of delivering a compelling argument.
Bose uses metanoias to primarily qualify her statement.  Adding positives such as “I must say”, “but if you look closely at it”, “one might say”, “I don’t whether to term it as”, address her way of thinking and thus strengthen her statement. Without adding these, many readers may have questioned her expertise and if she had enough evidence to truly say that the disparity of countries is the reason for outscoring. And since this was an “Indian perspective”, many assumptions where made and the metanoias boosted her boost her credibility. Readers are more able to read and respect a writer that acknowledges their different way of thinking and of lack of assurance before making a claim.
Bose fills her writing with reverse antanagoges. Instead of balancing negative claims with positive benefits of outscoring, Bose address the negative effects of outscoring and then adds advantages for potential workers to balance her argument.   For example, when first introducing her claim she states outscoring “is a loss of talent loss of India and countries like China and Philippines”. Rather than ranting on about this, she adds in the benefits talents outsourced job workers can attain . With little training, one can “take on the outscoring job”, help in the “incentive to those graduates whose long term planning involves working abroad”.  Rather than leaving the reader with an idea that outscoring is all benefits for India, she adds the negatives to remind readers that outscoring will hurt workers real talents. Her Antanagoges lesson the reality and impact of outscoring effects because after all, “outscoring is here to stay, to grow and to flourish”.

All her of rhetorical devices, her candid tone, metanoias and reverse antanagoges, surprisingly, relate back to her title; a Indian perspective. She gives a balanced argument as any citizen would and acknowledges her way of thinking and lack of assurance to contain her “normal Indian image”. Her creative, reverse antanagoges also add to the balancing of argument. Together, Bose delivers her argument subtlety and effectively.

In the game of business, China is becoming the dominant player at the cost of the US. The US is seeing their companies leaving and joining China’s team.  Many see this as a “foul play” and critique that outscoring and offshoring is pulling employment from a country that is already high in employment, is a strategy that businesses are using to hide their finances from investors and promotes sweatshops. However, coincidentally we Americans call all the right people to complain about this “then we hang up our Chinese-made phones and go shopping” (Cline). Many rally to stop offshoring and outsourcing overseas but forget the daily necessities we buy and use are in support of it. Many fail to also question, why do companies prefer to have their business functions done in other countries? Companies are not only offshoring to decrease expenses, but prefer China to overcome the U.S.’s domestic restrictions of specific activities.
Global brands are taking up the opportunity to directly outsource manufacturing to China and move their operations overseas. China is the go-to country for outscoring and offshoring. 65 percent of China’s revenues are from IT outscoring alone (Leach).  Its software outsourcing park is located in Dalian, with about 400 businesses that are expected to increase sales to 20 billion Yuan annually. America’s recession is the main reason why companies have moved overseas. Rough economic times forced business owners to cut down on cost and as a result has boosted China’s sourcing market. The Chinese government has made significant policy changes to extend this advantage and welcome in businesses. The government offers businesses financial support, subsidies, tax breaks, and intellectual property protection rights. China has also launched a 2013 campaign against malpractices and bribery. Even though this might be a burden to companies, those in compliance can experience ethical business dealings with others and create a better business environment nationally. The government’s active fight against corruption is attracting investments and businesses. That is just one of the many advantages to outsource or offshore to China.
Companies offshore to China to enter a new market. Galaxy Company not only found it easier to be closer to their biggest group of customers but expanded to China to compete in their market. A companies local presence in China, allows the company to gain more local knowledge which is hard to attain with the never ending disputes between China and the US. Companies are able to focus on their companies because they aren’t caught up in the foreign relations of China and the US. Instead of worrying whether their representative will be able to actually fly to China or their shipments are up to par with the U.S.’s and China’s shipping requirements, businesses can concentrate on core tasks. Their business will not be affected by the countries’ world power battles.
Carrying out research and company knowledge research in China is especially easy now, because of “compelling regional language advantage and cost arbitrage” (Leach). There are roughly 300,000,000 English learners in China and language is less of a problem for businesses that want to offshore to enter a new market.

Companies offshore to gain access to a new pool of talents. China has a more than 60% of high school graduates now attending a university (NYT) and is soon to be the new Ivy League nation with the largest higher-education sector in the world (Time Mag). With better educated students, companies can get more efficient and qualified employees. Offshoring allows companies to a better and large labor pool which may not be available locally in the US.

The main incentive for companies is no doubt, their profit but humans naturally sway to something with more advantages. For certain companies, China’s hold more advantages in the world of business and win their company as a result. America may need to stop playing the blame game and actually present “advantages” to win back their companies to the US.
