A writer and American journalist, Thomas Rowland Friedman, insisted that the world is flat. What does he mean? Friedman believes the world is led by the country first, then globalization led by the company, and now it will be led by individuals. Yes, we are the driving force of globalization now. Thanks to these flattening, there is a platform that enables individuals to collaborate on a global scale. Friedman also mentioned "iron business rules". The problem is "Is it done by you or you?" He said, "As the world is very flat, the most important economic competition in the future is between you and your imagination." It doubts my authority and access to this so-called platform.
In Thomas Friedman's "The World Is Flat", the definition of "plane" in his metaphor "planar world" means "equality". Because the power of planarization increases the number of people today.

Friedman believes that the economic competition in our flat world will become more intense and the number of participants will increase. Therefore, he said, "We have to make sure that Americans work harder, run faster, smarter and connect, compete, collaborate and innovate by connecting to the flat world platform, (Friedman 2007.) Although he may have produced the word "flat world", Friedman does not produce the power of globalization, and no one stops it You can not.
