6. The following appeared as part of an article in a magazine devoted to regional life.
“Corporations should look to the city of Helios when seeking new business opportunities or a new location. Even in the recent recession, Helios’s unemployment rate was lower than the regional average. It is the industrial center of the region, and historically it has provided more than its share of the region’s manufacturing jobs. In addition, Helios is attempting to expand its economic base by attracting companies that focus on research and development of innovative technologies.”
The conclusion endorsed in this argument is that Corporations should look to the city of Helios when seeking new business opportunities or a new location. The basis for this argument is that Even in the recent recession, Helios’s unemployment rate was lower than the regional average. An additional reason given in support of this argument is that Helios is the industrial center of the region and historically it has provided more than its share of the region's manufacturing jobs.The author also cites that Helios is planning to attract companies to expand its economic base as an example to support this argument.And we do not need to look very far to see how groudeless the argument is .After careful examination,we can know this argument commits several logical faults that are addressed below.
In the first place, this argument rests on the gratuitous assumption that corporations should look to the city Helios because its unemployment rate is lower than regional average even in the recent cession.However,there is no any evidence to support this assumption.Moreover, it is possible ,there is some other city that had much lower unemployment than Helios.Therefore, lack such evidence,we can not agree that lower unemployment in Helios can be the reason for corporations to look to the city of Helios.Furthermore, there is also a possibility that corporaions may not find enough worker who can work for them just because of the low unemployment.In a word ,the corporations can not look to city of Helios just because of the low unemployment .
In the second place, the author wrongly assumes that corporations should look to the city of Helios in that it is the industrial center of the region and has provided more than its share of the region's manufacturing jobs.However,the author negelects that the space of the city of Helios may not be enough for corporations to move in ,just because it is a industrial center of the region and has over much more corporations in it.Therefore,without rule out such possibility ,the argument is unwarranted.
In the third place, the author unfairly assumes that just becaue Helios is attracting companies in order o expand its economic base , corporations should look to the city of Helios.The author does not show us what dvantages Helios will give to the new corporations ,such as low taxes or low rent for houses.Without giving such benefits ,the author can not come to this argument, for no corporation will look to the city of Helios in purpose to expand Helios's economic base.
To conclude, since the author commits the above mentioned logical mistakes and fails to consider the whole situation comprehensively, his ideas should not be adopted.The author fails to provide adequate justificaiton for corporaitons should look to the city of Helios when seeking new business opportunities or a new location because of the low unemployment of Helios.As it stands ,the reasoning does not consititute a logical argument in favor of the argument.To make this argument logically acceptable,the author would have to show more precise information about how would the Helios provide benifits to new comers in order to expand its economic base.In addtion to solidify the conclusions,the author should provide concrete evidence as well to demonstrate that industrial region as it is ,the Helios can provide more opportunities to new coming corporations.Only with more convincing evidence could this argument become more than just an emontional appeal.
