Fareed Zakaria

author of The Post- American World, Fareed Zakaria, claims that the other nations are catching up to the United States. According to Zakaria, the United States is considered “the dominant player” as being the richest nation in the world (Zakaria, pg. 22). After the United States industrialized, the nation was considered the “most powerful nation since imperial Rome” (Zakaria, pg. 2). However, the other nations such as China, India, and Japan are gaining power, and are becoming richer and stronger. The nations are following the United States’ ways in order to grow as a nation. The other nations in the world are following America’s ways of growing economically. In The Post- American World, Fareed Zakaria gives examples of how the other nations are growing economically by building structures and organizations. For example, Dubria produced the tallest building in the world. China produced the world’s largest public trade corporation and several large…

An excerpt from Fareed Zakaria’s ‘The Post-American World’ appeared in Newsweek in May of 2008. In this excerpt Zakaria asserts that “The post-American world is naturally an unsettling prospect for Americans, but it should not be. This will not be a world defined by the decline of America but rather the rise of everyone else (Zakaria. pg 1).” With this powerful statement Zakaria is issuing a proclamation that America is not in decline, but that there are other countries narrowing the competitive…

Sir Kenneth Robinson, Daniel Pink, and Fareed Zakaria, each text has a unique meaning and different point of view. They also all have a piece in their text which is influenced by education. Before one can proceed further into the re-imagining process, it is of value to uncover the true meaning of education. By comparing and contrasting the previous texts, it would be beneficial when it comes to critically analyzing and thinking about the similarities and differences between education. Knowing…

We Can’t All Be Math Nerds and Science Geeks, Fareed Zakaria uses statistics, rhetorical questions, and hyperboles to convey how society is obsessed with STEM; he argues about how intricate it’ll be for America to be creative. Zakaria’s position is strong, and the strength of his argument is persuasive because of the rhetorical devices he applies to express his opinion about STEM. Zakaria uses one or more rhetorical modes to address the situation with the superfluous of STEM and America’s…

many attacks and grown. We also have diversified and become very different from the country our founding fathers created. Although the American minority, and many more believe we still are the same country, I believe we have changed and not for the better. I believe that this decline that is in question is a real problem that we are choosing to overlook and believe is only something that is trying to make the American country something it is not. Fareed Zakaria is a very successful writer who…

In his article “The rise of illiberal democracy” Fareed Zakaria used a term “illiberal democracy” in the journal “Foreign Affairs” in 1997. In the article he discussed the level of liberties and freedom in the countries that are democracies officially. He divided them into two polar groups: liberal democracies and illiberal democracies. He also gave the description for each of the groups and the reasons why he determined this or that country into a particular group. Let’s try to figure out what…

in the Republican National COnvention, Trump gave his views and well the convention was a big big hit for both good and bad reasons. IN all of this Fareed Zakaria in his weekly column for the Washington Post dedicated his post to the Republican Convention at Cleveland and no doubts on he did that. But then the next thing is pretty shocking. He sarcastically gave his views on the plagiarized speech, the daddy-daughter love, opening up about gay, the Nazi salute and every single thing that took…
