Most of all
companies from the United States are expanding globally to expand the American
mentality as it pertains to business. America has an expectation from its
workers. The effective use of time is a virtue in America. Youth and vitality
are prized and a good entrepreneur is respected in America more than older
pre-existing wealth. Young entrepreneurs like Sergey Brin and Larry Page, the
co-founders of Google, and Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook get prime
attention as to their focus and ideas. We learned a lot from the young founders
of Apple to let their creativity fly and fund their at first thought of wacky
projects that have since proved to be a source of respect and great wealth for
America in the fields of research, technology and social media. What else is
important to life?
The rest of the
world needs to now learn how to respect the earth and its people and nature and
animals in order for us to be globally at peace with each other. Only then can
progress be made anywhere in the world.
