An Argumentative Essay by Stratfor and the Six Degrees Foundations
An Argumentative Essay by Stratfor and the Six Degrees FoundationsA comparison of arguments by Stratfor and the Six Degrees Foundations is an argumentative essay by Stratfor and the Six Degrees Foundations. It is an effort to construct a definitive case for why the United States would be better off if the US was smaller.One thing that I found interesting, from the Stratfor website itself, is that they compare between bigger and smaller nations when it comes to trade. So we should watch that argument and make sure it is good. After all, the United States is a big nation, but it isn't a nation of rich, powerful nations; it's a nation of poor, weak nations.I think one of the most important things to know about the United States and the countries in our region, the South, is the fact that we are seeing nations which were once very strong, come apart at the seams. You see, you can't live in a small world, especially in an area like the South. And yes, this has been the case in the past, b ut it seems we have seen a change.To have this happen again, with countries like China and India, is something to fear. They seem to have forgotten what it meant to be a country. Their mindset has changed, and if we don't continue to show them that they can't do it without us, then we have the power to change their mindset.This is why I feel so strongly about the need to begin a national conversation. That way, we can put the focus on leadership, and the types of leadership that we need. We can begin to build our nation back up from the ground up, and then we can look at the wider picture and see the challenges ahead.You see, Stratfor is good at analyzing data, and they really seem to know what they are talking about. However, when it comes to a good argument, they seem to get lost. It could be because their authors, if you will, are themselves so used to writing essays.Since I teach in the Journalism Department at Skyline College, I take advantage of their resource material. In fac t, I found one particular essay by another of our faculty members, to be particularly useful. I thought it was a good argumentative essay.And if you want to see an argumentative essay, I would suggest you check out my student resource, because I use it in all of my classes. Please consider all this and think on it.
