argument3In this argument, the author concludes thatlarge, corporate firms of Megalopolis need to offer graduates more benefits andincentives and reduce the number of hours they must work with the evidencesprovided as follows: (1) In Megalopolis, the number of law school graduates whowent to work for large, corporate firms declined by 15 percent over the lastthree years, whereas an increasing number of graduates took jobs at small, generalpractice firms. (2) Law school graduates choose to work for the smaller firmsmost likely because they experience greater job satisfaction at smaller firms.(3) A survey of first-year students at a leading law school, most agreed withthe statement that a high salary was less important to them than jobsatisfaction. It seems logical at the first sight, however, after close scrutinyof each of these facts, we may find that sit is unconvincing. Several flaws canstill be found after a carefully check into it.
At the beginning, the conclusion is drawedbased on the survey, however, first-year student cannot represent graduates,even if it can, law school student cannot stand for students from otherschools, what is more, leading law school students do not represent all lawschools students in Megalopolis. With such an inconvincible survey, I don'tthink the argument would be persuasive.
In addition, even assuming that first-yearstudents from leading law school can represent all graduates, the author ignoreother relevant factors that may also influence the phenomenon that moregraduates choose to go to small, general practice firms rather than largefirms. The space for improvement, the amount of work are also very importantfactors when graduates choose firms.
Finally, the author claims that it is inthe last three years that this phenomenon happened. The author assumes withoutjustification that the background conditions have remained the same atdifferent time. The assumption is unwarranted because things rarely the sameover extended periods of time.
To sum up, the conclusion lacks ofcredibility. Regardless of who the author is, he or she has overlooked orchosen to ignore many aspects of his or her conclusion. To strengthen theconclusion, the author should give more evidences about the above-mentionedpossibilities. |
