I really enjoy reading Thank You for Arguing. The assigned reading from the book was an easy and enjoyable read. I really like how the author will throw in a smart comment on a situation from time to time. Everyone can relate to the real life circumstances the author discusses in order to better explain his points. I agree that arguments and fights are often confused by most individuals. In order to reiterate this point, the author presents dialogue between a husband and wife to show the difference between an argument and a fight. I also learned from this reading that there is an importance concerning the tense used within an argument.
In chapter three of Global Issues, Local Arguments, the good and the bad regarding offshore outsourcing are discussed in depth. Personally, I feel that offshore outsourcing can help developing countries grow and prosper. Developed countries will benefit in the long-run from the economic development of these countries and the higher ranking job openings. The reading referred to this process as creative destruction. Americans concerned with whether or not offshore outsourcing is hurting or helping America should read Drezner’s article, “The Outsourcing Bogeyman”. In this article, Drezner deals with predictions made concerning the results of offshore outsourcing with statistics and facts. I believe this article can comfort worried Americans and educate others about offshore outsourcing.

I agree in that Thank you for arguing is an enjoyable read. The author creates a writing style of his own that makes me want to keep on reading and think about arguing and our everyday lives. It's simple and funny.
I also wrote a blog similar to what you said about the devlopment of the economy. Offshore outsourcing IS beneficial to creating more jobs..One thing that was baffling though, was the term "creative destruction" - doesn't this sound like it's a negative word rather than a positive one? Just thought that was kind of funny.
