globalization

Ethnobotany discovers new medicine for mankind
Globalization kills ethnobotany
Globalization destroys the ability to find new medicine for mankind

Globalization causes industrialization
Industrialization causes pollution that is bad for the environment
Globalization causes pollution that is bad for our environment

As the population grows, more and more people need somewhere to live, and globalization is becoming easier to accomplish. There are 6,000 languages spoken on the Earth today, however, there used to be 18,000, and this is because people are moving outward while influencing other cultures. The knowledge of the other cultures is essential to medicine: they know where to find plants for medication, and we [industrialized nations] know how to use them. Without their knowledge, we would not be able to find plants that could be utilized more easily, and globalization has affected our economy or life.

Your syllogisms are well written but your paragraph did not really relate to them. You did not mention ethnobotany or industrialization. In the paragraph you talked about languages—it was interesting, but not relevant to what you were making the syllogisms for. Just make sure you stay on topic and you will have some great material to work with.

Good job with your syllogisms! They are very clear and easy to follow. What one did you write your paragraph about? They don't seem to be connected.

Good syllogisms, you made the logical conclusion from your valid facts. Especially in the second syllogism. Your paragraph was well written but didn't fully tie in with your syllogisms.
