People can have a biblical world view of life around them, which helps them to see with clarity that which is right or wrong with society’s views.

As an up and coming international management consultant, the idea of the world being flat is an interesting topic. Thomas Friedman, who is one of the leading faces of the “world being flat perspective”, is an extremely well acclaimed author on many topics. Especially on globalization and economic areas.

There is no global leader that has affected my view of the world, but one has absolutely influenced how I would formulate a view of the world, and then act upon it; that someone is Richard Holbrooke. The way he handled the civil war in the former-Yugoslavia should serve as an example to how every diplomat should deal with any challenge facing the United States.
