To me the most interesting thing about Spurlock’s show were the familiar issues. Things like the destruction of the family were concerns because Indian families were working different shifts and no longer dined or prayed together.

Another issue was religion. Indians are increasingly tied to the west through work which means their time off was often tied to Christian and other western holidays. I’m not going to get into a religious argument but its an issue where I can see their concern.

Very interesting point. I could understand a lot of those concerns, when I think about how much different my work schedule was when I was living just two times zones away from New York City and had to account for the time difference in the hours of the New York Stock Exchange.
