Although I do agree with his predictions about Turkey rising as a major military and economic power, along with the decline of population which is clearly evident now (Dr. James example with grandparents having more kids than their parents), and the usage of space for military purposes and development, I did not agree with him on issues such as the lack of population leading to massive immigration, China not rising as a major world power, and the rise of Poland as a threat to the United States. Friedman made great strides to cover most of what he believes may happen in the next century, but I do believe that he left some out that may happen in the next decade. The United Arab Emirates is currently ranked as the twenty eight largest economy in the world with a GDP of approximately $440 billion. Located in a troubling region with a lot of social distress, the United Arab Emirates has increased their military force significantly.

Diversity has made the United States what we look at today as a great nation with greater opportunities. In that same mentality, a business only becomes greater by including diversification, not only within the United States, but diversifying throughout the world. As our organization ventures out to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), we have to make the move as smooth and educated as possible. Whenever a company enters the international market, they have to make sure that they understand and examine the different parts of the culture and practices that differentiate them from the United States. By understanding the geography and background, cultural dimensions, differences in daily activities, etiquette and leadership styles, and the different laws, our company can successfully transport into the UAE.
Nike Inc. was founded in 1962 by Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight as a partnership under the name, Blue Ribbon Sports. Our modest goal then was to distribute low-cost, high-quality Japanese athletic shoes to American consumers in an attempt to break Germany's domination of the domestic industry. In 2000 Nike Inc. not only manufactured and distributed athletic shoes at every marketable price point to a global market, but over 40% of our sales came from athletic apparel, sports equipment, and subsidiary ventures. Nike maintains traditional and non-traditional distribution channels in more than 100 countries targeting its primary market regions: United States, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Americas (not including the United States).

Its vast supply of oil directly effects per barrel pricing and is a unique bargaining tool in international politics. But Saudi Arabia is no ordinary country in today's world. Its borders are governed by a royal family of nearly 30,000 individuals, all of which share most of the wealth and almost all of the power. Its people, with foreign exceptions, are wholly Islamic and many practice the faith with a frightening sense of devotion. And despite the immense revenue generated by its oil reserves, part of its population still lives in absolute poverty. Although recently it has seen immense change, it is still a country fair behind the progressive world.
Sports throughout history have shown close ties and relations to values and cultures of a society. Sports and competition have adapted and grown as the world and people have grown and developed. Sports are often seen as simple consequence of the industrial revolution. The Impact of increased urbanization, better communication and transportation, as well as more time and income for specialization, all led to the creation of sports. (szymanski).
