The following appeared as a letter to the editor from the owner of a skate shop in Central Plaza.
"Two years ago the city council voted to prohibit skateboarding in Central Plaza. They claimed that skateboard
users were responsible for litter and vandalism that were keeping other visitors from coming to the plaza. In
the past two years, however, there has been only a small increase in the number of visitors to Central Plaza.and litter and vandalism are still problematic. Skateboarding is permitted in Monroe Park, however, and there
is no problem with litter or vandalism there. In order to restore Central Plaza to its former glory, then, we
recommend that the city lift its prohibition on skateboarding in the plaza."
Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether the recommendation and the argument on which it is based are reasonable. Be sure to explain how the answers
to these questions would help to evaluate the recommendation.
See the detailed answer in explanation.
Explanation
The given letter describes in detail the recommendation of the owner of a skate shop in the central plaza.The
letter mentions that the city council had prohibited and imposed restrcitions on the usage of skateboard in the
central plaza.though the argument in the letter deems to be possible, there are various illsutration and dearth of
facts that makes the arguement placed in the letter to be weak and it is also subject lo be undermined.
Firstly, the number of other factors have not been considered or taken into account. there must be simple and
logical solution stated for the menace stated by the authorities. The owner has not stated or even refuted the
argument of the council which makes the argument to be flawed. The other fcators have to be questioned and
the reasons on how to stop them in future need to be introspected.
Secondly, comparative statement about the other park has been stated in an ambiguous manner and the owner
has failed to mention clear and concrete illustrations, paradigm question needs to be. if both the parks are of
the same kind and the same nature. They should also be in a position to answer the question pertaning to the
prohibitive mechanism and also the differences between the parks. I would also like to question if both the
plazas follow the same protocol and litter control norms.
Thirdly, failed to mention on how the the factor of lilting the band and restriction would be advantageous for
the general public and the city council. This argument is also not supported . There might be several other
reasons except the prohibition that causes only a small increase in the number of clientele. For instance, the
local population.;! better plaza nearby
Question # 2
Colleges and universities should require their students to spend at least one semester studying in a foreign
country.
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with (lie claim. In developing
and supporting your position- be sure to address the most compelling reasons and or examples that could be
used to challenge your position.
See the detailed answer in explanation.
Explanation
Educational institutions have played a vital role in forming the basis and the foundation for any student. Many
places of study nowadays encourage students to travel and explore new places of study and also explore the
possible learning experiences across the globe. I personally agree with the given statement that each individual
should be encouraged to travel and study from various places which would improve not just their knowledge
but also enhance their exposure to the various cultural and anthropological features in the foreign place.
I have always been inquisitive and eager to know about the eastern culture and the tradition and even many of
the languages. If I get the opportunity to travel and study I will be fortunate to experience the nuances of the
culture first hand. To add on. in person experience leaches a student about the inclusive nature of the
individual in a new environment. It would also show them the various ideas and theories about their field of
study.
For example, my friend who studied architecture went to japan for a semester and he was amazed by the kind
of buildings and the kind of patterns the people had used. It helps us to understand the various possibilities and
the various horizons that we might not even be exposed to if we do not travel.
It is significant and important for every person to travel to the new places in order to explore about the
learning options and also to learn about themselves. Universities are the place where on get sthe opportunity to
learn as much as and even make any errors as they are a student. Learning possibilities and options are open
and they get to learn and explore as much as possible.
To conlcude. I have alwasy believed that a student is someone who has been boundaries or borders for
learnign and he ought to explore as much as possible beyond the geographical barriers
Question # 3
No act is done purely for the benefit of
Claim: others
All actions—even those that seem to be done
for other people—are based on self-interest.
ReasonWrite a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the claim and the reason
on which that claim is based.
See the detailed answer in explanation.
Explanation
We live in an altrustic world where being selfish and self centred have become commonplace It is human
nature to be selfish and think for one self as stated in the claim, at time s even when we tend to act for three
wellbeing and goodness of other it is hidden and implied there would be a reason for the action I strongly
agree with the given claim and also the reason on which the claim is based upon
Firstly, every action that is being done by humans, the hughest and most evolved form of animals tend to have
certain primitive features still attached. The simple act of placing oneself and then close ones in priority when
in terms of decision making. For example, people always make sure that they have fulfilled their own needs
and sometimes they ensure that their wants are also fulfilled. This trait of humans would never change and it
would be the same even in the future Even in the dystopian literature and the novels that I have come across
humans have never been projected as a selfless creature.
Secondly, the phlight of the reason is imperative to be understood. The claim is being bolstered and
strengthened through the reason The word' All actions" might sound a bit hyperbole and may be exagerated
but in general most for he actions done by people for the welfare of the others would have a significant and
crucial feature in the their own wellbeing. To illustrate, my friend used to teach us certain chapters and
concepts in high school later he revealed tat teaching us helped him to understand the concepts and even
remember them even better As stated above, the claim is certainly true to a greater extent, however the reason
might be blown out of proportion. Just as how selfishness is a human triat so is selflessness.
To conclude, human life is filled with balances always, people tend to be good for the others and might expect
certain benefits for themself This inherent trait at least keeps the sense of helping tendecy alive. Hence I would
agree that even when people act for the other it would have some tangible or intangible benefit for oneself.
Question # 4
The following appeared in a memo from the president of Bower Builders, a company that constructs new
homes.
"A nationwide survey reveals that the two most-desired home features are a large family room and a large,
well-appointed kitchen. A number of homes in our area built by our competitor Domus Construction have such
features and have sold much faster and at significantly higher prices than the national average. To boost sales
and profits, we should increase the size of the family rooms and kitchens in all the homes we build and should
make state-of-the-art kitchens a standard feature. Moreover, our larger family rooms and kitchens can come at
the expense of the dining room, since many of our recent buyers say they do not need a separate dining room
for family meals."
Write a response in which you examine the stated and or unstated assumptions of the argument. Be sure to
explain how the argument depends on these assumptions and what the implications are for the argument if the
assumptions prove unwarranted.
See the detailed answer in explanation
Explanation
The memo discusses in detail about the statement s made in order to suppose a suggestion that might get more
profits for the firm. It is essential that the statements need to be supported by proper data and facts. The given
statement is unsupported and is built upon a basic premise of an expected possibility in the future. The memo
states that a change in the manner or pattern in which the house is built will probably be helpful for the
company to improve its nature and also profit.
The company believes that they would be able to improve the profit by replacing the dining room space with
more space for living room and kitchen, they also focus on state of the art kitchen facilities. It is impertaive
that the company states the various assumptions and the basis on which these assumptions would be stated.
The company has failed to show and prove any given data or fact that ought of lead to the evidence that there
might be possible increase in the profits.
The preferential choices of the people have also not been stated any where in the
passage. The random generalization only weaknes and undermiens the statement.
the statement has to be supported with survey from the people or the purchasers
which might provide better insights to the given statements.
It is essential for the company to consider the other factors and look into the sales for
the holistic perpoective rather that from a profit oriented angle.
The type of assumptions made in the memo are subjective and inclined towards a
great extent. which might be flawed in the event of not proving any Isubslantial evidences To conclude. I think that it is essential for the company to substantiate the views and assumptions with better
data and facts, failing which it would remain to be flawed. Any assumptions needs to be places on valid and
reasonable ideas without which the core of the premise would hold no good
Question # 5
The following appeared in a letter to the editor of a Batavia newspaper
"The department of agriculture in Batavia reports that the number of dairy farms throughout the country is
now 25 percent greater than it was 10 years ago.Dunne this same time period, however, the price of milk at
the local Excello Food Market has increased from SI.50 to over S3.00 per gallon. To prevent farmers from
continuing to receive excessive profits on an apparently increased supply of milk, the Batavia government
should begin to regulate retail milk prices Such regulation is necessary to ensure fair prices for consumers."
Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether
the recommendation is likely to have the predicted result Be sure to explain how the answers to these
questions would help to evaluate the recommendation
See the detailed answer in explanation.
Explanation
The letter slates a proposal to act as a solution for a given problem. It states that milk producers have increased
the price of milk inspite of an increase in the supply, which enables them to receive excessive profits. The
given suggestion is that government intervention might be a possible solution for addressing this issue. The
proposal has given only a subjective view but has failed to prove how the government intervention might help
them reach the required outcome through valid evidences.
Firstly. The letter has failed to address the population growth in the region of Batavia. in the event of
considering the supply and demand in a place. It is crucial to take into consideration the population of the
place the equal proportion of the growth in the number of dairy farms This might lead to many reasons and it
could also dissolve the issue if the population outburst might have happened.
Another major issue that the letter has failed to address is the impact of the general rise in inflation. It is to be
understood that in any economy it is imperative that there would be an increase in the price of products and
services over a period of time There could even be an increase in the raw materials fodder, and medical
expenses incurred by the dairy farm owners and milk manufacturers.
The third arbitrary assumption made by the letter would be that the profit are being solely taken by the
manufacturers., the labor wages, cost of production and even the cost incurred during the delivery might have
substantially increased. If various such factors are to be considered then the appropriate solution cannot be just
the government intervention and there might be a need for a more comprehensive solution.
To conclude, the letter might appear to have addressed the issue but in reality it has failed to new it from the
different dimension and ultimately fails to give a clear responsive view with valued evidences and supportive
data.
Question # 6
The following appeared in a letter from the owner of the Sunnyside Towers apartment complex to its manager.
"Last week, all the showerheads in the first three buildings of the Sunnyside Towers complex were modified to
restrict maximum water flow to one-third of what it used to be. Although actual readings of water usage before
and after the adjustment are not yet available, the change will obviously result in a considerable savings for Sunnyside Corporation, since the corporation must pay for water each month. Except for a few complaints
about low water pressure, no problems with showers have been reported since the adjustment. Clearly,
modifying showerheads to restrict water flow throughout all twelve buildings in the Sunnyside Towers
complex will increase our profits further."
Write a response in which you examine the stated and or unstated assumptions of the argument. Be sure to
explain how the argument depends on these assumptions and what the implications are for the argument if the
assumptions prove unwarranted.
See the detailed answer in explanation.
Explanation
The given letter is from the owner of the Sunny side apartment complex to the manager of the buildings and it
is regarding the replacement of the showerheads in the buildings and the statement is made making an
assumption that in the future there would be more profit if they make the same changes to more profits.
The owner has stated bis perspective by taking into account a generalized view point and also given the lack of
evidentiary values creates a dearth and paucity in the statements made by the owner. The weakness in the
statement is purely created due to the general assumption of the owner and not based on the data or substantial
evidence of the observation made in the changes in the building.
The Drawbacks have been mentioned by the owner but they have not been considered seriously as negative
possibilities that might cause them future expenses. The other important aspect is the lack of the consideration
given to the various factors. The owners statement are primarily focused on the profits and they negate all
other aspects such as the water pressure and the exact data which he clearly states is unavailable till now.
[Without considering the exact usage of the water based on the number of people who
are using, the exact number of shower heads, the total amount of water consumed.
the average supply of water in the building, the totla profit that they might make, the
overheads cost and the cost of installation of the new shower heads all need to
stipulated and then considered on a serious note before they proceed with the
changes.
The owner needs to conduct a proer study of the data rather than making a hyperbolic
assumption that they would meet profits, given that there is not guarantee for the
same.
It is essential for the statement to also consider the extent of profit that they could
make (brought the proposed change.
To conclude, it is essential for the statement postulated in the letter to consider more comprehensive aspects before arriving at the conclusion that would only undermine
and weaken the perspective of the given letter.
Question # 7
Claim: Governments must ensure that their major cities receive the financial support they need in order to
thrive.
Reason: It is primarily in cities that a nation's cultural traditions are preserved and generated.
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the claim and the reason
on which that claim is based.
See the detailed answer in explanation.
Explanation
The claim introduces a major fact of statement that elucidates that the financial support of the government
should be concentrated towards the cities and the reason explains a statement that the importance of doing so
is for the well fare and the well being in protecting the cultural and the traditional values of the nation.
It is extremely crucial that the traditional and the cultural values of the nation are protected as they create an
identity for the individual and also the nation as the whole. But the statement that the cities are the only
representation of the cultural and tradition is flawed. I believe that the cultural and the traditional variations
and the facts that are ought to be preserved needs to be focused on the towns and the villages also as they
contain the roots of the nation. City on the other hand does hold significant buildings, monuments and the
historically significant structures that ought to be protected for the safeguarding of the cultural and the
traditional importance of the nation.
It is also important for the nation as a whole to protect the facts especially monuments and historical structures
that reflect the traditional aspects and the cultural values of the nation. Government funding plays a key role in
the establishment of the same as the financial aspects are crucial in protecting the nature of the tradition and
culture.
It is also important that the villages. cultural groups and minorities and the linguistic oriented cultural groups
are protected and funds should be allocated for the well being and the development of the same. It is essential
that the government funds that are allocated must be carefully spent on the factors that influence the cultural
and traditional aspects of the nation.
For example, money should be allocated in order to teach, propagate and the spread the local and vernacular
languages. Many European countries have been actively doing the same, for over a period of time.
It is also essential for the people as the tradition and culture creates a form of identity for them and the
protection of the cultural and the traditional values and aspects strengthens their identity among the world
nations.
