Militarism and Globalization

I have chosen The Relationship Between Globalization and Militarism to write my Rhetorical Analysis on.

Audience:
In this article, the writer is directing his argument to more of the people of the First and Second world standings. Also, he could be directing it to government officials who actually have the power to change the way the world is going.

Current and/or contemporary events of importance:
New Third world countries are being forces to base their economies on a military focused directions.  Because of globablization, there are even more wars being fought around the world then during the Cold War.  Most of these wars are not even between different nations, but are civil wars. 

Profession/race/age/socioeconomic status:
This paper is directed to people who probably have a high education.  People who are not lacking and living in a country that is highly developed and self-sufficient.  I don't think he has really directed it to any certain age group.  I think it will have an effect on all ages and most people, regardless of their backgrounds or professions.

Ideologies:
To stop all the loss of human life, these ideas and issues and ho globalization  is pushing countries to militarism needs to stop.

Issues of importance:
South Africa only is aloud to make weapons by the World Trade Organization and are not allowed to put funding into civil or environmental projects.

Opponents (real or perceived):
Big businesses in general, especially big arms dealers and manufactures.  Also, large global organizations who support globalization.

Major fear/worries:
That if this isn't taken care of, more and more governments are going to collapse and millions of lives are going to taken because of all the ways
