Outsourced "Reflection"

Outsourced "Reflection"

Every country have their culture and it different from place to other place, in this reflection will see the outsourced and how the expat person shock from other the culture so this reflection will talk about movie, its compare between USA and India Cultural Dimensions and how they are too different also will give examples from the movie of Hofstadter  Power Distance and Individualism.

The main character named Todd and he work in company in USA and his boss want to transfer him to other branch in India with out take by him opinion so that he traveled to India, while he moving to India he think their culture will be the same culture of USA and the people are develop, so when he reach India he shock when see what happen in airport and how people live their, after that he want to  back to USA and care one more day in India but the boss ignore him when he called him. How ever, Todd see no way to back to USA so he try to adapt with the people their, first two days at the work Todd didn't make any success because he not discuss with staffs like USA style in work (no discuss with the boss) so after that he make meeting with the staffs and then make success. That main the USA culture is high power distance because it show us the people in that culture is not equal and the most time you can't discuss with your boss just do it what he say. How ever, in India we see the opposite of what see in USA, in India in general the people there are work as equal so they discuss with each other and see that when Todd make a success with his staffs because of discuss and the staffs can talk with their boss. Moreover, the USA society  individualism society so we know that from the boss when he take him decision to moving Todd to India so this society loose the connection with each other and weak sharing of responsibilities in the country. While in India so the collectivism society, so always they work as a group and large amount of loyalty and respect for members of the group.

In the end, the boss for Todd visit India to meet Todd and ask him should travel to china without discuss, so Todd shock because the high power distance is back.
