The Globalization of Poverty in my analysis eyes

This article written by Antonia Juhasz is trying to show that globalization does not help end poverty worldwide and it is not a counter to terrorism but it indeed is the opposite that can cause terrorism and can cause poverty. Antonia started off the article with some emotionalties to Americans when He brought up the Bush administration using September 11th as a ploy to leverage the idea of expanding global trade and to further push globalization by saying that it will be a huge way to stop terrosism. That brought me in emotionally to want to read more because I feel like I am loyal to America and I wanted to see more of what he was going to say. From that point on I didn't really feel emotionally tied into the article anymore I felt like i was bombarded with fact after fact after fact and many quotes that I understood how he was using that to show his point but I wasn't necessarily as interested as I would have liked to have been. I do feel that the article was effective in the way that he does show lots of evidence. I don't think that he wrote anything that was going to initiate any extreme change taking place because of the way that he wrote. I think he should have continued with a lot more emotion on the subject.
I think for the most part that he had a neutral view and showed that he wasn't for any one particular political party or religion and that may have given him some validity on being able to present something that ties into the world. I don't however feel like anything terribly soul shaking or new was being brought to my attention causing me to not have a huge opinion that has changed. I feel like his point was made but not in an urgent way. The title used in "The globalization of Poverty" suggests a strong opinion from the beginning. I felt at times he was a tad myopic in his view. He didn't give any of the other side of the fence and that would have provided more perspective to me as a reader in this case. That would have been my last thing I would have hoped to see. This wasn't terribly interesting to me but enough in the fact that I am in business and I will always be wanting to know about the effects of globalilzation on people and not just business.
