Project 3 outline

 

Thesis: The definition of globalization should simply be changed to the word “Americanization” because of the United States’ influence and dominance on the economic, political, and cultural levels in the global market.

 

I.                    Introduction

 

II.                  Background

 

III.                Globalization should simply be defined as the word “Americanization” because of the United                      States’ dominance in the world economy.

                              A.   According to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA),” The United States had the largest economy of                                              any single nation ($13.9 trillion), followed by China ($7 trillion), Japan ($4.4 trillion), and India ($3                                        trillion)”.

                              B.   According to the Bank for International Settlements’ Triennial Report of the currency markets, the                                     market share of the dollar in cross-border transactions has remained unchanged at 85% over the                                     past 15 years.

 

IV.               The word “Americanization” should be the definition for globalization because of the spread and                      influence of the United States’ political system.

                             A.    The revolt in Egypt in where the protestors wanted to end the regime of their current leader, and                                      establish a democratic political system like that resembling the United States.

                             B.    According to Myron. J Aronoff, Israel has taken dramatic political reforms in moving away from the                                     Westminster model of parliamentary democracy to a system that resembles that of the American                                     democracy.

                            C.     America invading Iraq and Afghanistan to overthrow their governments and install a democratic                                     political system.

 

V.                Lastly, globalization should be defined simple by the word “Americanization” because                     of America’s influence in world culture.

                             A.   The spread of American multinational corporations like McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, Nike and Wal-Mart.

                             B.    The influence of American “pop culture” on global culture.

                             C.    The rise of the English language across the world. Maybe this?

 

VI.               Refutation of why the definition of globalization should not simply be changed to the word                     “Americanization”.

                              A.  The only liable argument against this would be on the economic level. Globalization should not be                                         known as “Americanization” because China has been growing at a rate of 9% over the past 30                                     years and is projected to pass the United States by 2016, in terms of GDP.

 

VII.             Conclusion
