ARGUMENT 7
The following appeared in a letter to the editor of the Clearview newspaper.
"In the next mayoral election, residents of Clearview should vote for Ann Green, who is a member of the Good Earth Coalition, rather than for Frank Braun, a member of the Clearview town council, because the current members are not protecting our environment. For example, during the past year the number of factories in Clearview has doubled, air pollution levels have increased, and the local hospital has treated 25 percent more patients with respiratory illnesses. If we elect Ann Green, the environmental problems in Clearview will certainly be solved."

提纲:
对作者的论证做出总体评述。
作者的证据不足,无法说明GEC比CTC更关注环保。
作者提供的数据无法说明其连锁反应,即 工厂*2→空气污染加重→患呼吸道疾病的人*1.25。
评选市长应该考虑多方面因素。
综述结论作者根据不足,提出市长的职能。
分析思路:
结论: 应该选AG作为下一任市长。
论据:
1.
AG是GEC的成员,其竞争对手FB是CTC的成员,CTC的成员近些日子没有保护环境。
攻击点:①GEC保护环境了吗?其成效如何?
②CTC的其他成员不能代表FB,没有对FB作出任何介绍。
③当选市长一定要以环保为前提吗?即使AG比FB更环保,那其他方面的成绩呢,比如经济增长,教育水平等等。
2.
过去一年中,工厂数量翻倍,空气污染程度增加,医院治疗的呼吸道疾病患者增多。
攻击点:①保护环境与工厂增加必然矛盾吗?工厂一定会污染环境吗?
②空气污染一定是工厂造成的吗?还有其他成因吗?
③病人一定当地人吗?短期数据有说服力吗?
3.
AG当选后Clearview的环境问题一定能解决。
给我个理由先,既没有AG的情况也没用关于他和FB的任何比较,如何得出结论?
The author assert that if Ann Green, rather than Frank Brown, is elected to be the next mayoral of Clearview, the environmental problems will certainly be solved. This notion is too subjective. The author must have paid much attention to the local environment, for all the grounds are based on the environment and pollution.
Obviously, there are no more information about Frank in the argument, what he has done and how about his leadership quality, planning and organization ability are all important aspects to evaluate a effective leader. And also, we only know Ann about which system he is in. It seems that Good Earth Coalition is environment friendly at a glance; however we cannot merely judge an organization through its name. It also mentioned that the members of Clearview town council recently did nothing to protect the environment, but it does not meaning that Frank don’t do anything to improve the environment quality if he will be the mayoral.
There are no evidences that it was the factories caused the air pollution. Probably the government inducts many new energy powered factories in so a short time, which are environmental friendly. As we know, the air is moving all the time, maybe the polluted air was coming from nearby cities. And the air pollution can be transformed from other kinds of pollution, such as the evaporation of dirty water, the burning of rubbish. And the patients with respiratory illness may not local citizens. Perhaps the medical facilities of this city’s hospitals are excellent and attracted many neighbor inhabits come to take a treatment. In another aspect, with increasing factories, more workers are needed. Amount of labors might come from other places and some of them had got a respiratory illness. The statics about the illness only conclude two years situation, however to draw a trendline of an illness, a long term tendency should be more reliable.
Given that Frank cares little about environment and Ann is more competent than FB, we still cannot hastily draw the conclusion that AG is the best choice for the next mayor. Generally, protecting environment is not the main principle of elect a mayoral. There are other factors such as economic, education, public security, welfare maybe more significant.
In sum, the author should provide more information about the candidates, and compare them in every aspect. Environment is only a part of the city, to be an effective leader, the ability of making everything function well and moving forward stably is much more important. |
