TOPIC: ARGUMENT178 - The following appeared in the annual report from the president of the National Brush Company.

"In order to save money, we at the National Brush Company have decided to pay our employees for each brush they produce instead of for the time they spend producing brushes. We believe that this policy will lead to the production of more and better brushes, will allow us to reduce our staff size, and will enable the company factories to operate for fewer hours-resulting in savings on electricity and security costs. These changes will ensure that the best workers keep their jobs and that the company will earn a profit in the coming year."

In this argument, the arguer points out that the National Brush Company (NBC) have decided to pay employees for each brush they produce instead of for the time they spend producing brushes. Additionally, the arguer also points out that this change will enable the company factories to operate for fewer hours-resulting in savings on electricity and security costs. Based on this changes and assumption, the arguer concludes that these changes will ensure that the best workers keep their jobs and the company will earn a profit in the coming year. At first, I find that the argument is gravity, rather specific; but, as I carefully ruminate it's, I find dominoes of absurdities are very near the surface.

In the first place, one of the major problems with this conclusion is that there is no necessity link between paying employees for each brush they produce instead of for the time they spend producing brushes and saving electricity and security costs. As we know, electricity expense is decided by the time that machine on the work. If the total time cannot reduce, the cost of electricity will not be short.

Additionally, another flaw weaken the logic of the argument is that this change cannot truly lead to the production of better brushes. As the salary is decided by the number of the brushes employee produces, the employee may and quite possibly pay all of their attention to the speed of the producing but not the quality of each brush. Since the brush may not be qualified, the sales of the bruches may decline, and obviously for the simple reason the company may suffer finical problem. For the changes may cause so many problems, there is no reason to believe the company will earn a profit in the coming year.

Before I come to my conclusion, I should point out another problem of this argument. Best workers is the workers that produce the best production and the most qualified workers, not in the lesat is it uncommon that they cannot produce brushes as fast as others. After these changes the best workers may not perform best under the standard, so they may leave.

To sum up, having fully embraced the argument that arguer by proving is preferable to that the arguer by listing incredible facts or assumptions. So if the arguer wants to make this argument logical and acceptable, he or she should give us enough credible evidence to support his assertion.
