In the article “Globalization Is Beneficial to Society,” Abbas J. Ali argues that globalization is good for the world economy and for businesses around the world using word choice, redefining the issue, and optimism. Abba is a business professor at Indiana University of Pennsylvania and is an executive director of the American Society for Competitiveness, which is an advocate of international trade. His ethos is very influential because he has a lot of experience and knowledge concerning the issue of globalization.
At the start of the article, Ali talks about how globalization is a very heated issue and because of the growing interest it “increases the probability that the term will be used in contradictory ways and more importantly that is will be misuses in the service of the dominant forces in a given society.” By redefining what globalization actually is, he can start from scratch basically tell readers whatever he wants concerning the subject. He makes readers realize that he is very intelligent and so once they know this it is very hard for them to go against what he says. This tactic helps him establish his ethos and so people believe what he says because he has a lot of background on the subject.
Ali informs us of his stand on globalization using word choice and allusion to past events. He states that “globalization represents a giant leap forward in the history of humankind.” This refers to the historical event of the lunar landing that occurred in 1969. This is very similar to the phrase used by Neil Armstrong when he landed on the moon saying, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” This alludes to the great accomplishment back then and so Ali is saying that globalization will also be a great achievement in history. This use of word choice and allusion is very beneficial to his argument and it helps readers believe that the progress of globalization will be a great thing.

For my issues paper I could possibly right about how national parks and state parks should be kept and preserved even though there may be some economic benefit for getting rid of them. It is important to keep these historical and beautiful parks for many different reasons.
