Blog stage six

          As I was reading my classmates blog,I found the issue of the editorial interesting. Her intended audiences are the whole American population. The author has begun her editorial with the economic health of America in 2009. She argues that Government did wrong by granting a loan to General Motor. She says that giving money to the Company General Motor was not required rather, it could be used for creating jobs, social security or Medicare. She has also shown that she is not satisfied with Government’s act of giving money to the Company General Motors because she says that about four decades later, Government is giving tax money to the company General Motor that took the job of lots of people in the past.
        As a reader, I found this editorial a bit unclear because of incomplete information and most of her ideas are just based on her own mind, as I could not see any supporting facts and statistics. I did not find content of the editorial as gripping as the topic. Her arguments were not valid and credible, as it could be if she had stated some of the facts and statistics. In fact, I do not agree with her belief that Government made the wrong decision by giving money to the Company General Motors because we all know that the Company General Motor  was escalating downward towards its failure and Government did an admirable job by giving credit to keep the company. In addition to that government loan helped to keep the load of jobs. Recently Company General Motor has also paid off eight billion to taxpayers ahead of schedule. I truly appreciate the author’s opinion about government investing that money for social security, Medicare and welfare, but in that instance, it was Government’s responsibility to protect that the company from going bankruptcy. I think she could have assembled a bit more evidence and logics to supports her ideas. Her allegation was not totally wrong, but I would say it was a poor claim. I think that the writer could have researched it a bit more and included more detail on it because as a reader, I could not figure out what was the main theme of the editorial. In addition, author could have used more issue related ideas rather than other ideas that were not strongly related to the topic. Also, author could have restated her thesis in conclusion so that it would be clearer what the main thought that she was arguing for was.
      In conclusion, I would want to say that her arguments and claim were not strong enough. However, the author has tried to make it intelligible and easy.I would suggest that she could have included more detail about what she was arguing for and the supporting facts. The author was not successful to get the clear picture to the intended audience of what she was arguing for in her editorial. Also, her arguments were not that strong as it could be if she had taken support of relevant information and researched it little bit.

President Obama and Russian President Medvedev have signed the treaty to cut off the nuclear arms

        President Obama and the President of Russia Medvedev has recently signed the treaty about cutting the nuclear arms. At present where most of the countries are increasing the production of nuclear weapons, President Obama after passing health care reform Law, is on mission to reduce the utility of nuclear arms together with nuclear-armed country Russia. It is good to know that President Obama wants to solve every problem by peace process. It may sound offensive and unusual to some people, who think America deserves the hegemony, but I actually admire and appreciate Mr. President for this peace action. He also proved that he deserved the Novel peace price as a lot of controversy raised by then when he won the Nobel peace prize.

       The production and use of nuclear weapons and arms does not make country powerful rather it creates threats and insecurity to people. We have already learned the lesson from the World War 2 about the consequences of nuclear arms. We cannot even imagine the worst scenario that nuclear weapons will create even though we saw Japan literally bombed and effected for decades .Therefore it is right step that President Obama has taken to cut off the use of nuclear arms in America. We are well known that some of the countries at present are increasing the production of nuclear power to prove them powerful. The effect is every people in the world are globally threatened regardless of the country because of their ambition to be dominant. However, President Obama has tried to show that a country can be strong and powerful without nuclear arms. This could be a live example for all the countries in the world.


           Mr. President has taken such a peaceful step to secure the future of America by peace process. President Obama and Russian President Medvedev are in process of increasing the participation of other countries as well. President Obama has said that America and Russia are prepared to take leadership once again by signing the treaty of cutting down the nuclear arms. They are also confident in ratifying the treaty .It is believed that this treaty will be the key part to reset the acquaintance with Russia that was badly strained under the Bush administration. It is good news that America is proceeding toward friendship and peace action with other nations and building the new relationships with those countries that had cold feeling between each other because of past wars. This news could be something that many Americans might have been waiting to read since so long.
