Arguementive thesis   :
              With one mind set of “Balance of power and gaining profit for self interest , has turned our government to make decisions based on “what is best for the people” .  Allowing little to no vote or knowledge that the people have with corporations and head of government making decisions, leaves the people wondering whether or not if the right decisions are actually made.
             In the reading “crude world” there was a small passage that combines both Balance of power and Gaining profit for self interest. “American companies with investment in Africa were present at a luncheon that was actually held at a army and navy club.” At this luncheon there were oil executives and senior department officials including secretary of state for Africa affairs Walter kansteiner .
               With so much people at power making trades and decisions for the U.S and trades, it leaves the people too little to no knowledge that this luncheon even took place. It clearly explains how the balance of power can over through the people vote decisions. Although government and foreign trades can both benefit and destroy us as a whole, these decisions and voices are heard and taken place from those that are in higher power. With self interest of gaining profit, balance of power and supply and demand, now corporations are turning what we call today a democracy into a democracy that is self interest of money and power.
               Where might the decisions on “freedom of speech and the right to have our voices heard and opinions taken into consideration have gone? This leaves us to know that balance of power and the government control has over the people. Corporations are now gaining the same rights as government and those who are in power; it is now left to think about more than just our needs as a country. It is now based on where we can get the cheapest fastest and most profitable material.
              Decisions are now made from what is best for the country and how the U.S. can profit from another country. Whether its food, oil, stocks and even material. It’s no longer become a globalization it’s more of coming to an agreement with taxes raised and trades. Nations are now looking passed the choice of war. Now government and officials are looking at how we can benefit from one another using more than money.             
 With corporations now taking the role of government, a different approach has been taken. Our food has also become more business than safety. Animals have now been called profit material.

  1. hi,thanks for allowing me to read your blogs. Which I found very interesting and informative,and would like to recommend you for your work.All your blogs carry such strong message and intriguing facts,especially the "Argumentative Thesis" blog.This blog did not only inform its readers.The blog challenge each one of us Americans, to critically think about what we believe of our democratic government.By reading the blog ,I realized how the word democracy has become more of mere word by mouth, rather than application.I strongly agree with your second to last paragraph,where you mentioned that "Nations are now looking past the choice of war.Now government and officials are looking at how we can benefit from one another using more money".This I think would gradually tarnish the reputations and trust American citizens have in their leadership.However if you can work on your organisational structure,it would help your readers to understand,enjoy,and follow your thought.
