2.(9) The following appeared in the opinion column of a financial magazine.

“On average, middle-aged consumers devote 39 percent of their retail expenditure to department store products and services, while for younger consumers the average is only 25 percent. Since the number of middle-aged people will increase dramatically within the next decade, department stores can expect retail sales to increase significantly during that period. Furthermore, to take advantage of the trend, these stores should begin to replace some of those products intended to attract the younger consumer with products intended to attract the middle-aged consumer.”

In the argument, the arguer gets a conclusion that within the next decade, department stores can expect retail sales to increase significantly during the period. To buttress the argument, the arguer refers to a fact that the number of middle-aged people, of who consummers devote 39 percent of retail expenditure to department store products and services, will increase dramatically within the next decade. Furthermore, the arguer also suggests that to take advantage of the trend, these stores should begin to replace some of those products intender to attract the younger consumer with products intended to attract the middle-aged consumer. while the argument seems to be plausible at a first glance, it is not without loopholes and generalities taht seriously dent the validity. Clearly, the arguer fails to address a number of factors that are vital to substantiate the conclusion.

In the first place, the arguer rests on dubious assumption that since the number of middle-aged people will increase dramatically within the next decade, department stores can expect retail sales to increase significantly during that period. However, no further information and specifics are provided to bolster this assumption and establish the correlation. As a matter of fact, it is quite likely that  department stores will not have a increase in retail sales during that period though the middle-aged people increase dramatically. For example, it is unknown whether when now younger become middle-aged, they will follow current model to prefer to department store products and services. Therefore, without futher investigation whether when people become middle-aged, they will comsume department store products and services, the argument cannot safely be jump to the conclusion as arguer has stated.

In the second place, even if the investigation whether when people become middle-aged they will comsume department store products and services is proven to be true, there is no guarantee that the middle-aged people in next decade have sufficient buy-power to help the department stores increase their sales. Meanwhile the arguer commits another fallacy that replacing some of those products intender to attract the younger consumer with products intended to attract the middle-aged consumer in these stores will help to increase their sales within next decade. For instance, if the younger people within next decade trend to buy more products than now, the stroes may lose such increase sales. Without carefully exam the possible changes, the arguer is simply shooting in the dark and jeopardizing all the effort to reach the conclusion.

In conclusion, the arguer, by leaving out the above-mentioned factors, tries in vain to justify the argument. to better brace for his argument, the arguer need the provide more analysis on the possible changes in buying habits of both younger and middle-aged consumer within next decade.

2. The best teachers are those who expect their students to challenge popular ideas rather than accept them.

Whether teachers who expect their students to challenge popular ideas are better than those expect their students to accept the popular ideas? Some people think that because the teachers epecting students to challenge popular ideas will alway encourage students to think more on the popular ideas and try the find things benethe the surface of them. On the other hand, Some one hold the opinion that the teacher who expect their students to accept popular ideas are better because those teachers may think it can help students to learn more by accepting ideas proven by people before. In the following arguement I shall prensent more favorings to the former statement.

First of all, it is important for student to build up their own view of popular ideas, and it is also teacher`s responsibilities to help students to do so. To have own view of popular ideas, the first thing students should learn is to identy what are the popular ideas and how the ideas are proven to be true. However, students may not be capable of reviewing the popular ideas themselve, and even more, in many classes teacher are the host and teach knowledge to student by means of telling students the ideas in book. While many ideas are introducted in a single class within less than an hour, it is hard for students to think alone and challenge the ideas if any. So the best teachers are those who expect and encourage students to chanllenge popular ideas.

Furthurmore, the great people in science and other fields are often the ones who had a teacher who expect and encourage them to chanllenge the popular ideas when they in school.     It is comman that students who have more independent thinking and challenges of popular ideas, though may the challenges are always fallacy, will learn more during the times spent in school. Because the teachers` expect and encourage are helpful for students to think independently, the best teachers are those who expect and encourage students to chanllenge popular ideas.

In conclusion, as the factors mentioned above, helping students think more independently and build up their own view of the popular ideas, the best teachers are those who expect their students to challenge popular ideas rather than accept them.

In this age of automation, whether humans are becoming subservient to machines or machines are continually improving our lives? Different people have different views according to their own perspective. On the on hand, someone complain that humans are becoming subservient to machines because modern machines are making humans live in a poor environment, such as producing more and more pollutions; on the other hand, some people hold the opinion that machines are continually improving our lives, as it can been seen that humans are receiving more and more benefits from machines using now. In the following argument, I will present favoring on the later statement and refuting the former one.

 

In the first place, the most import reason why I choose the later statement is that as machines are becoming more and more powerful and providing more and more convenience to humans, it is obviously that machines are improving our lives. For instance, the development and improvement of railway and train is the best example that machines are making our lives better: before train was innovated, people used cargos to transport goods, an inefficient way when compared with modern train and railway systems. Even though the current train and railway system seems efficient enough to fulfill people`s requirements, the system are being improved to be more and more powerful to meet people`s future need. So it is true that the machines are improving our lives.

 

Additionally, there is another reason that new technologies and innovations developed based on the machines which are using will make people lives better. Taking high technology industry as an example: when computer was first invested, no one could foresee that it will be used so widely that now almost all the businesses are run partly on computers. Furthermore, everyday thousands of softwares are developed based on the computer to make our work easier and our lives better. For instance, the computer has taken over the driving job of subway trains in some cities, the 'computer driver' are more accurate and easier to control, so the journey in subway are safer than before.

 

Admittedly, in some conditions it is true that humans are becoming subservient to machines. For instance, the machines are producing more pollutions than before. However this alone is not able to undermine the conclusion that machines are continually improving our lives, because it is possible some devices helping to decrease pollutions will be innovated in future.

 

Consequently, as the matter of factors above-mentioned--because machines are becoming more and more powerful and providing more and more convenience to humans and because  new technologies and innovations developed based on the machines which are using will make people lives better--we can safely come to the conclusion that machines are continually improving our lives.

 

 

In the argument, the author makes a conclusion that capital idea should invest in the Roxy Playhouse, the Slice-o`-Pizza, and the Divot Golf Club, three new businesses in the Park Hill district. To buttress the argument, the author refer to a assumption that because the Thespian Theater, Pizzazz Pizaa, and the Niblick Golf Club have all had business increase within the past two years. Furthermore, the author suggests a strategy to contribute the conclusion that if the Roxy Playhouse, the Slice-o`-Pizza, and the Divot Golf Club are required to participate in a program that any customer who patronizes two of the businesses will receive a substantial discount at the third with the purpose to motivate customers to patronize all the three, the profitability of each will be better and the return to Capital Idea will be maximized. However, the author fails to provide more information that will brace the assumption and investigation that whether the customers who get the discount opportunity will patronize at the third.

 

In the first place, the author assumes that  because in the Park Hill district the Thespian Theater, Pizzazz Pizaa, and the Niblick Golf Club have all had business increase within the past two years, it is true that the Roxy Playhouse, the Slice-o`-Pizza, and the Divot Golf Club will also have the potential increase in future. However, information about the reasons why the Thespian Theater, Pizzazz Pizaa, and the Niblick Golf Club have all had business increase within the past two years are insufficiently provided in the argument to make a such assumption. As a matter of fact, it is likely that the increase of businesses in the Thespian Theater, Pizzazz Pizaa, and the Niblick Golf Club is due to some other reasons. For instance, maybe the three have a unique membership system that is attracting more and more people to patronize while the new ones are lack of such system. So it is hard to say that the new ones in the same business will have the same business increase as the old ones.

 

In the second place, even if the the Thespian Theater, Pizzazz Pizaa, and the Niblick Golf Club do not have unique weapons that make the increase in business, there is no gurantee that the Roxy Playhouse, the Slice-o`-Pizza, and the Divot Golf Club will have a increase in businesses in future. Furthermore, the author commits another fallacy that he/she thinks that the program which provides customers discount of the third if they patronize in the other two will contribute to the profitability of each and maximize the return to Capital Idea. However, without sufficient investigations of the consumers, it is hard to make the conclusion that the program will work fine. For instance, if the discount is not low enough to attract customer to patronize, the program may fail to contribute to the profitability.

 

In conclusion, as the matter of factors above-mentioned, the author fails to make the argument convincing. To brace the argument, the author should provide more information that will brace the assumption and investigation that whether the customers who get the discount opportunity will patronize at the third.

6. （9）Employees should keep their private lives and personal activities as separate as possible from the workplace.

It has been debated for a long time, whether employees should keep their private lives and personal activities as separate as possible from the workplace. Different people have different views upon this issue according to their own perspectives. On the one hand, some one think that employees should separate their private lives and personal activities from the workplace, mainly because private lives and personal activities in workplace will decrease the productivities of employees; on the other hand, some one hold the opinion that there is no need for employees to separate their from the workplace, as it may make employees uncomfortable in workplace. In the following argument, I will present favoring on the former statement and refuting of the later one.

 

First of all, the most important reason why I think that employees should keep their private lives and personal activities as separate as possible from the workplace is that the private lives and personal activities will truly make a decreasing in the employee productivities. For example, if one employee always thinks about his/her private things which have no relevant with work in his/her office, it is obviously that the efficiency of the employee will be effected, lowing his/her output in workplace. As it is known, the office is a place where businesses are running and the high competition in business today requires everyone in a company to focus on their jobs and do their best to help the whole company more efficient. So, to contribute more to the success of their company, it is undoubted that employees should keep their private lives and personal activities as separate as possible from the workplace.

 

Additionally, there is another cause that I favor the former statement in the issue: their own benefits will be hurt if the employees cannot keep their private lives and personal activities as separate as possible from the workplace. For instance, in factories, it is common that injuries are happened because the workers are distracted by their private lives and personal activities. Furthermore besides the hurts in body, there would be hurts in their salaries and bonus if the employees cannot separate their private lives from the workplace. If the employees more concentrate in the job in workplace, they will get less hurts in bodies and increases in salaries and bonus.

 

Admittedly, It is very difficult for employees to eliminate all thoughts about private lives and personal activities in workplace, because for something important will be always recalled in mind even in workplace. However, this alone is not able to undermine that employees should keep their private lives and personal activities as separate as possible from the workplace.

 

Consequently, as the matter of factors above-mentioned, to be good for both the employees` companies and themselves, we can safely come to conclusion that employees should keep their private lives and personal activities as separate as possible from the workplace.
