Blog Post 2

My opinion editorial is about American business being outsourced to other countries and whether or not that is okay. So the big question my opinion editorial is answering is what should we do. My argument will be that it is okay but things need to be done about it. Regulations need to be made for the purpose of keeping our own American morals while doing business overseas. We shouldn't be okay with child labor for our own benefit when it comes to our wallets. I plan to be convincing with my argument by sharing with reader some common information to help them understand their affiliation with the globalization of American business. I will mention big companies like Apple and Wal-Mart and how they do most of their labor in countries like China. I will ask rhetorical questions and then answer them so that the reader believes that I am educated about this topic and it will give them a sense of closure as they finish my editorial. I will also make sure to bring forward counter examples and then go on to disprove them with the research I've done. That will also help the reader know that I know the other side of the argument and that I'm not close minded. The worst thing I could show the reader is that I am close minded and not believing that there are always two sides to an issue. I will make sure I format my essay well so that it flows and that anything I mention in my thesis will be explained through out my writing.

  1. I agree with your idea that it is important to show that you have looked at both sides of the debate fairly. Personally I lose trust in someone that is so one sided. There is always two sides to an argument.

    1. I also completely agree on the importance of recognizing both sides. I think that not only will you lose readers if you fail to do so, but it will be even more convincing to your main argument when you explain how possible thoughts to the other side can be understandable yet improper.

  3. I like that you will be incorporating examples from real-life examples and that you have done research to back up your opinion.
