Title: Antimicrobial resistance
Author: World Health Organization (WHO)

The argument is very persuasive, This article gives facts, graphs, pictures and data to make the argument more persuasive by supporting it with evidence. This is a factual topic and is supported by the world health organization and we can also tell this is a global issue and is very important concern globally. This is a factual article and there is no bias in it. Therefor it is not compelling to others. The author of the article states antibacterial resistance facts, explain what it means, and it also gives examples of major diseases such as tuberculosis, malaria, HIV and many more. The best thing about this article is that it gives facts about what percent of the population was affected by the antimicrobial resistance bacteria and supports all the evidence by the research conducted by the world health organization. Author wants to make sure that public health is safe and people understands that antibiotic resistance bacteria is a major growing concern and could be dangerous to our health if we don't take any actions now. Author mentions the actions such as following the doctor instructions and taking precautions while using any type of antibiotics. The author also mentions to complete the full treatment course and always make sure you take your medication course everyday as prescribed by the doctor. This is a primary text because it is written by the world health organization, the organization that is responsible for providing leadership on global health matters, shaping the health research agenda, setting norms and standards, articulating evidence-based policy options, providing technical support to countries and monitoring and assessing health trends. From this article I have many facts and statistics I could use in my research paper. It is also more useful than the other article because it has more accurate information. This article sees at the global concern not just national level or locals. All the articles that I have found so far all explain the antibiotic resistance bacteria but this article gives more global statistics on particular diseases in particular countries. When taking about this article their might be some questions brought up but it answers my questions and supports my thesis statement.
