Argue 169
"Some studies conducted by Bronston College, which is also located in a small town, reveal that both male and female professors are happier living in small towns when their spouses are also employed in the same geographic area. Therefore, in the interest of attracting the most gifted teachers and researchers to our faculty and improving the morale of our entire staff, we at Pierce University should offer employment to the spouse of each new faculty member we hire. Although we cannot expect all offers to be accepted or to be viewed as an ideal job offer, the money invested in this effort will clearly be well spent because, if their spouses have a chance of employment, new professors will be more likely to accept our offers."

This plausible argument concludes that the school should offer employment to the spouse of each new faculty member they hire and the money invested in this effort will clearly be well spent. Many people may agree with it at the first glance of the argument. To support the recommendation, the arguer cites Bronston College to conclude that both male and female professors are happier living in small towns when their spouses are also employed in the same geographic area. However, after taking many things into consideration, these evidences will neither make up a logical support, nor be practical.

The very outstanding problem concerned to the argument is the research itself. The arguer fails to convince us
the authority of the studies. And the arguer does not provide any useful information related to the study too. Moreover, there can't be an exact definition of happy. So, how could the study reflect the happiness of professors in Bronston College? Are the respondents forthright when answering those questions?The survey is only related about the people in Bronston College, when it comes to the professors in Pierce University, it may be not so reliable. In other aspects, we can't ensure whether the people's perceptions are suggested by the arguer and thus they may result in the difference.）

     The second problem weakens argument's logicis the existing differences between Bronston and Pierce. The arguer fails to establish the casual comparability between the two schools in totally two small cities For instance, the environment and standards of Bronston College may be superior to Pierce. At the same time the salary and the welfare offered by Bronston may be
far more attractive. Thus, these may be the true factors that contribute to the happiness. It may be exactly these reasons that influence the professors' decision, but not the work place of their spouses.

     Thirdly, even I concede that offering employment to the spouse of each new professor will make professors more likely to work here. Here comes another question. The argument asserts that the money invested in offering jobs to spouses will clearly be well spent. However, the investment must cost much money of the school. Have they ever made a budget? Will it be possible for the school to afford all these expense? If the school doesn't have the ability to offer jobs, all the assumption will be in vain. At the same time, the school can make full use of money, for instance, they can improve living environment equip the stations in Labs. Thus, it will attract more professors.


     The last but not the least, the arguer fails to provide the evidence that the major components of the staff in Pierce University are the new faculty. And according to the assumption, we will only offer employment to the spouse of each new faculty member in order to improve the morale of our entire staff. So we can't guarantee that the action will attract the really gifted teachers.
  
    The argument is far from persuasive as it claims. The conclusion lacks credibility because the evidence cited in is not powerful at enough to support the arguer's main idea. However，To consolidate this argument， the arguer need to provide evidence that jobs for spouses of faculty in Bronston College are effective in attracting professors. Also, the comparability of the two colleges and the reliability of the study cited are needed to support the final conclusion.
