The store should prove to be verysuccessful: Nature’s Way franchises tend to be most profitable in areas whereresidents lead healthy lives, and clearly Plainsville is such an area.Plainsville merchants report that sales of running shoes and exercise clothingare at all-time highs. The local health club has more members than ever, andthe weight training and aerobics classes are always full. Finally, Plainsville’sschoolchildren represent a new generation of potential customers: theseschoolchildren are required to participate in a fitness-for-life program, whichemphasizes the benefits of regular exercise at an early age.
Write a responsein which you examine the stated and/or unstated assumptions of the argument. Besure to explain how the argument depends on these assumptions and what theimplications are for the argument if the assumptions prove unwarranted.
以下是小銀的處女作品。嗚嗚~~~~(>_<)~~~~ ，壓力山大則個。求好心人猛拍。XDD
In this analysis,the author conclude that the next franchise of Nature’s Way, which is a chain of stores selling health food and other health-related products, should prove to be very successful. To support his conclusion, the author points out that the all-time high sales of running shoes and exercising clothes bespeak that the Plainsville’s residents lead health lives, the residents who favor of exercising should also enjoy health food and the plainsville’s schoolchildren who participate in a fitness-for-life program should be a new generation of potential customers. However, the argument is flawed by a serial of substantial assumptions and is therefore unpersuasive as it stands.
First of all, the author fails to establish the causal relationship between sales of running shoes and exercising clothes with the Plainsville’s residents’ health lives.Actually, it is possible that the high sales of those sports shoes and clothes are due to their big discount and cheap price, thus attract a large number of customers to buy them so that boost the sales, as a result, we cannot conclude that the resident in Plainsville lead a health lives.
In addition, the author fails to demonstrate that the residents here who are fond of exercising should also enjoy health food. People here may never care about health food,they just enjoy exercising. Actually, it is reasonable to doubt that what theauthor assume will never happen. It is unfair to drew conclusion simply on the surface.
A final problem with the argument is that the author assumes that the schoolchildren who participate in a fitness-for-life program must be a new generation of potential customers. However, this might not be the case. Whether this program will makes choolchildren lead a health life is still unknown, and also, students who participate this program never mean they would enjoy health food and be the potential customers. Maybe they still like junk food. The author fails to offer sufficient evidence to substantiate it.
In sum, this argument is not convincing for several possibilities ignored by the author that may undermine the author’s conclusion. To make the conclusion sound, the author should demonstrate that the residents of Plainsville lead health lives, and people here who favor of exercising would also like health food and the students who participate the program also would lead health lives and enjoyhealth food. 1# shixichuguo
