Globalization: Is it Outsourcing or Oust-sourcing of Countries

Outsourcing is something that is more common in today’s world. If we think about it, outsourcing is always connected to the term globalization, a phenomenona that has shaped the global economy over the last few decades. Understanding the meaning of outsourcing can help individuals become more conscious of the advantages and disadvantages it brings. Outsourcing is being practiced by a lot of countries, few of the reasons are low-cost labor and production, tax benefits, and to save up resources. Some of the countries that are good for outsourcing business are Philippines, India, Brazil, Malaysia, China and many more that are all good candidates for outsourcing. Outsourcing brings a lot of opportunities and possibilities to people around the world but is it really that good and beneficial or maybe it only brings more problems and issues that as time passed by it becomes difficult to solve. Many questions are being asked day by day regarding this business practice.




In our country, Philippines, outsourcing is present in different parts of the country even in small places, outsourcing is still present and practiced. Few of the reasons why many choose Philippines is that it is cheaper here and majority of the people understand basic English. Indeed, it is true that many of our fellow countrymen are given an opportunity to work and earn money in a way that is also beneficial to our country but if we really think about it, it is not always rainbow and butterflies as we all though it would be. It also harms Philippines in a way that outsourcing can jeopardize the country’s security and privacy if it was shown and given to the wrong people. It is also harmful since outsourcing can create barriers and such for example, language barrier which is already a problem even without outsourcing. Language barrier can create miscommunication and by this it creates misunderstandings that can lead to unpleasant situation where it can harm the whole country as a whole. Outsourcing sometimes face the risk of inability to control a certain business that comes from the outside which in return can cause problems and worries that are difficult to resolve.




To sum it up, outsourcing is both good and bad in terms of its purpose and objectives. Outsourcing helped a lot in the growth and development of our country. We just need to be more informed and educated by the things it can bring to our own country negatively and positively. Problems and difficulties can’t be avoided even though how hard we try to keep away from such problematic outcomes but if we know what to do and how to do if problems persist then we might be able to handle and resolve it in a way that both countries are happy and satisfied. Outsourcing is a big part of our lives without us being aware of it. Outsourcing is present even before we, my generation even existed. Being responsible and honest is essential to see the positive part of outsourcing. Our world wouldn’t be the same if outsourcing is not present.
