Synopsis

Based on the hit movie that inspired the television series, the Outsourced High School Curriculum Student Handouts are designed for use with the Outsourced Educational Edition DVD and the Outsourced High School Curriculum Teacher's Guide. Outsourced is a story of discovery. An American businessman, Todd, travels to India and unexpectedly finds himself. He trains his replacement, Puro, who finds his future not in India as he anticipated, but in China. And a young woman, Asha, who works for both of them, finds herself as her future. Each of these people cross cultural barriers, changing their assumptions about others, the world and themselves. Todd learns to let go of his corporate role as a middle manager; Puro learns that Indian women are as capable as men; Asha learns to believe in herself. How do adolescents learn about other people, places, and cultures? How do they perceive and make sense of others, their cultures and relationships to them? What impact does the current flood of business globalization practices have on what they eat, wear, view, and play? Why isn't the work that is outsourced being done in America? How does globalization help us empathize or care about those who are doing most of the work? These and other essential questions ground this high school curriculum for Outsourced.
