Arg 1 Palean Basket unique

Woven baskets characterized by a particular distinctive pattern have previously been found only in the immediate vicinity of the prehistoric village of Palea and therefore were believed to have been made only by the Palean people. Recently, however, archaeologists discovered such a 'Palean' basket in Lithos, an ancient village across the Brim River from Palea. The Brim River is very deep and broad, and so the ancient Paleans could have crossed it only by boat, and no Palean boats have been found. Thus it follows that the so-called Palean baskets were not uniquely Palean.

Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.

claim   the ancient Paleans could have crossed it only by boat
data  The Brim River is very deep and broad
warrant the river's condition means that.
evidence  the condition of ancient Brim river

claim  the palean basket was made by lithos people.
data no Palean boats have been found
warrant  palean basket can only be transferred by boat, and no palean boat at that time,so
'Palean' basket in Lithos cannot be transferred from palean to lithos
evidence  if any other way still existed to transfer the palean basket, like an accident.
              if lithos had boat to cross the river.

claim (ancient plean had no boat  )
data no boat was found
warrant   no boat was found means plean couldn't have boat in the past.
evidence   if the boat could be preserved till now.

intro
The author argues that Palean baskets were not uniquely made in Palean as another palean basket was found in Lithos, and the evidence including the local condition of palean and no boat was found manifest that it cannot be made by palean. To evaluate the argument, we need more evidence which are mainly about the condition of ancient Brim river, the possibility of the boat preserves till now and other way to cross the river.

para 1
For one thing, the author doesn't indicate that the ancient Brim river had same aspect and condition with nowadays'. the author just shows the resent condition of Brim river, i.e., it's too broad and deep not to be crossed except by boat. However, the chance is that this river would be crowed and shadow and easily passed in the past. And maybe the river was even not exist at that time. In this situation, ancient palean people needn't to own a boat to arrive at lithos. So, we could get the conclusion that the palean people couldn't go to lithos only because no boat have been found in palean. If some evidence approve the assumption above,then the palean blacket have the chance to be sent to lithos, and the author's argument will be undermined strongly.

The citizens of Forsythe have adopted more healthful lifestyles. Their responses to a recent survey show that in their eating habits they conform more closely to government nutritional recommendations than they did ten years ago. Furthermore, there has been a fourfold increase in sales of food products containing kiran, a substance that a scientific study has shown reduces cholesterol. This trend is also evident in reduced sales of sulia, a food that few of the healthiest citizens regularly eat.

Write a response in which you examine the stated and/or unstated assumptions of the argument. Be sure to explain how the argument depends on these assumptions and what the implications are for the argument if the assumptions prove unwarranted.

Claim: The citizens of Forsythe have adopted more healthful lifestyles.
Data: Their responses to a recent survey show that in their eating habits they conform more closely to government nutritional recommendations than they did ten years ago.
Warrant: (having an eating habit which is close to the government recommendation means a healthier lifestyle) implied
Assumptions:
1)        The survey is persuasive and objective
2)        The survey did ten years ago is credible
3)        The eating habit which is close to the government recommendation is healthier

Claim: The citizens of Forsythe have adopted more healthful lifestyles.
Data: there has been a fourfold increase in sales of food products containing kiran, a substance that a scientific study has shown reduces cholesterol
Warrant: (the increase in the sales of food products containing kiran in Forsythe indicates the healthful lifestyles of citizens) implied
Assumptions:
1)        It is people’s concern about healthful lifestyles that leads the increasing sales of healthful food products, such as the one containing kiran
2)        The increase in the sales of food products containing kiran is significant enough in amount and benefited many of the citizens
3)        The reduction of cholesterol means healthful

Claim: The citizens of Forsythe have adopted more healthful lifestyles.
Data: the reduced sales of sulia, a food that few of the healthiest citizens regularly eat.
Warrant: The decline in sales of suila has proven the trend of advocating healthy lifestyles in Forsythe
Assumption:
1)        The foods that few of the healthiest citizens regularly eat are unhealthful
2)        The decline in sales of suila shows people's attention to health

Introductory paragraph
The author argues that the citizens of Forsythe have adopted more healthful lifestyles. A number of assumptions have been made about the recent survey concerning eating habits of citizens, and the sales records of two types of food. We need to examine these assumptions carefully to decide if the argument is reasonable.

Middle paragraph
To begin with, it is assumed that the surveys about citizens’ eating habits could draw the conclusion that the city residents adopted more healthful lifestyles than they did ten years ago. It’s not clear, however, the scope and validity of that survey. For one thing, could these sampled respondents truly represent the Forsythe citizens? If the respondents were mainly from a particular socioeconomic class or the amount of respondents was not big enough, for example, the survey results could not be generalized to the entire population in Forsythe. For another thing, is the eating habit which is close to the government recommendation healthier? As we all known, the standard for a healthful lifestyle is not unique. Even if this survey could prove that people's eating habits are closer to the government nutritional recommendations, the author cannot say that people's lifestyles are healthier without scientific research. Unless the survey is fully representative, valid, and reliable, it cannot be used to effectively back the authors’ argument.

Recently, however, archaeologists discovered such a 'Palean' basket in Lithos, an ancient village across the Brim River from Palea. The Brim River is very deep and broad, and so the ancient Paleans could have crossed it only by boat, and no Palean boats have been found. Thus it follows that the so-called Palean baskets were not uniquely Palean.

Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.

Claim:         The so-called Palean baskets are not uniquely produced in Palean but also produced in other places
Data: Archaeologists discovered such a 'Palean' basket in Lithos
Warrant: The 'Palean' basket found in Lithos was made by Lithos people

Claim:         The so-called Palean baskets are not uniquely produced in Palean but also produced in other places
Data: The Brim River is very deep and broad, and so the ancient Paleans could have crossed it only by boat
Warrant: Therefore the 'Palean' basket found in Lithos could not be brought to Lithos by Palean people without boat. Instead, it was more likely produced in Lithos

Claim:         The so-called Palean baskets are not uniquely produced in Palean but also produced in other places
Data: No Palean boats have been found
Warrant: Paleon people do not use boats for travel and trade since Palean boats have not been found.

Based on the recent archaeological finding, the author of the argument argues that the woven baskets, which were only found in Palean in the past, are not uniquely produced in Palean but probably also in other places such as Lithos. However, in order to evaluate the argument, we need more specific evidences such as the archaeological information about the basket, the depth of the river in the ancient time, the existence of bridge, and the existence of Lithos boats.

Firstly, the author need more archaeological information about the baskets to determine whether the woven baskets found in Lithos are originated from Lithos or are recently being brought to Lithos. Baskets recently found in Lithos need to be examined. For example, if there were signatures or specific signs by Palean people on the baskets, we may conclude that the baskets might be made in Palean, and the basket might be transported to Lithos in the past by means other than boats or transported recently. Thus, the argument can be refuted in this case. If there were signatures by Lithos people, the baskets in Lithos might be made in Lithos. Therefore, the author’s argument can be supported by these evidences in this case. More information regarding the issue is needed.

思路：三点都在assume市民的饮食习惯变好了，从而推出more healthful lifestyle，先从这点开头。然后分述三个data。画了个图。。好像传不上


开头段：As is presented in the health magazine,the writer believes that Forsythe’s residents have become more healthier since they seem to adopt better eating habits.While this assumption might be conceivable to some extent,the reasoning of deduction process is unpersuasive due to several unsubstantiated evidence which,is proven not exactly,will seriously challenge the author’s conclusion.

中间段1：First of all,the writer’s conclusion relies heavily on the assumption that there are no alternative factors related to a fitness living module.In other words,people are bound to live a healthier life if they just concern about what they eat.However,this assumption is potentially problematic because we are not informed whether the citizens of Forsythe have perform well in other scenario，such as exercising frequency,sanitation habits,etc. If it turns out that their nutrition consumption are progressive but show negligence to basic work-rest habits,then the author’s assumption for trends of healthier lifestyle is invalid.

According to the author, the obesity rate of Benton city is projected to be below the domestic average because of the improvement of eating habits of citizens. Citing to comparisons of citizens’eating habits to government recommendations and data about sales of kiran and sulia, the writer tries to prove it. A number of questions must be answered in order to evaluate the argument, such as whether the government nutritional recommendations were healthier than the eating habits citizens had ten years ago, whether the survey is scrutinized,whether healthy food becomes more welcome recently and what different factors can lead to the obesity rate above average. Without precise answers,we cannot conclude the obesity rate will drop in the near future.

To begin with,we should know whether Benton city residents adopt healthier eating habits than before. Only that they are eating healthier, we can believe that the obesity rate may decrease. Though the survey claim that their eating habits conform more closely to government nutritional recommendations, we do not get any information about details of these recommendations so that we can’t draw a conclusion that people’s healthier lifestyles result from their adopting to government recommdations. In addition, we need to know whether the eating habits ten years ago were less healthier than current nutritional recommendations. If not, the arguement that when people adopt to government nutritional recommdations,they will become more healthier may not be accurate and we still cannot come to a conclusion of the decrease of obesity rate in the future. Given the recommendations are standard of healthy diet and eating habits ten years ago are less healthy than it, the author needs to answer questions about the reliability about the survey, such as how many residents have been investigated, can those participants reflect the eating habits on average and how to decide whether their eating habits are close to recommendations. Without the answers to these questions, the survey and any conclusions from that may not be reliable.

Introduction:
According to the health magazine, the citizens of Forsythe should have adopted more healthful lifestyles. Citing the results of a recent survey and figures of food sales, this magazine argues that people of Forsythe are eating more healthily. However, the listed evidence need to be scrutinized critically to assess the strength of the argument.

First body paragraph:
To begin with, it is assumed that the results of the survey reflect that the citizens' eating habits have become more closely to the government's nutritional recommendations than that a few years ago. Nevertheless, this finding itself does not prove that they are keeping more healthy diets because the government's recommendations have been changing. So the people's eating habits are not compared with the same recommendations. In addition, people may pretend to live more healthy lives than they actually do during interviews. What's more, the sample size of the survey is not stated in the argument, which is key to the results' confidence level.

Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.

According to the reading, conclusion that citizens of Forsythe have adopted healthier lifestyles is drawn from a number of assumptions, which are based on a survey and the sales of kiran and sulia. However, a closer scrutiny of the assumptions would cast doubt on the soundness of the conclusion. Discussions are as follows.
In the first place, the conclusion is based on results of a recent survey, in comparison with results a decade ago. However, question remains that whether recipients gave the accurate response. As it is common in researches, interviewees might give false responses due to reasons such as social pressure, etc…..
In the second place, the reading contends that a fourfold increase in sales of food products containing kiran, a substance that reduces cholesterol, indicates that citizens are living a healthier lifestyle. However, possibility remains that products that contain healthy substances could also be unhealthy. …
Last but not least, though sales of sulia, a food that few healthy citizens regularly eat reduces, it is likely that the food could be healthy itself, only not meets the taste of healthy people.
In conclusion, it is difficult to confirm that Forsythe have adopted healthier lifestyles. The assumptions discussed all have its own weakness in logic. Therefore, it would require further evidence to draw a safe conclusion on the transformation of lifestyles among Forsythe citizens.

开头段
According to the passage, the Forsythe citizens have lived more healthful lifestyles than before. Citing the recent survey and scientific study results, it argues that the change is mainly reflected on the eating habits. A number of assumptions have been made in the argument about the nutritional recommendations, food products containing kiran and sales of sulia. These assumptions need to be scrutinized critically to assess the strength of the argument.
中间段第二点
In addition, we also need to check the assumption that the sales increase of food containing sulia represents the lifestyles are more healthy. Maybe containing the sulia just make the food more delicious which results more people tend to buy them. Or perhaps the reason to buy these foods is just to follow the majority which is more attractive to people than reducing the cholesterol. If other factors contributes to the food sales increase, it may not matter the phenomenon shows the lifestyle is more healthy than before.

Recently, however, archaeologists discovered such a 'Palean' basket in Lithos, an ancient village across the Brim River from Palea. The Brim River is very deep and broad, and so the ancient Paleans could have crossed it only by boat, and no Palean boats have been found. Thus it follows that the so-called Palean baskets were not uniquely Palean.

Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.

Claim: The ancient Paleans could have crossed it only by boat
Data: The Brim River is very deep and broad
Warrant: the Brim River has always been very deep and broad since that time; only by boat can people cross the Brim River.
Evidence: whether the Brim river is always deep and broad at that time; whether there was a bridge at that time.

Claim: the so-called Palean baskets were not uniquely Palean.
Data: The Brim River is very deep and broad and no Palean boats have been found
Warrant: no Palean boats have been found means that no boats have ever existed in this place.
Evidence: whether boats have ever existed in this area.

Intro：According to the argument, the Palean baskets ,once ware believed to have been made only by the Palean people, may have been made from areas other than Palae as they have also been found in an area close to Palae. We need more evidence about the geographic and climate information of the area, the information of bridge and boats building and transportation information at that time to evaluate the argument.

Middle：To begin with, we need information of climate and geography in that area at that time. Although it is assumed that the ancient Paleans could have crossed the Brim River only by boat as the river is very deep and broad, there could have other scenarios. For instance, maybe the river was nonexistent at that time. If the Brim River was nonexistent at that time, the Palaens could arrive other areas easily on their foot. On the other hand, if it was very hot and dry in the summer which would make the river become shallow at that time, people could walk across the river easily and trade the baskets.

Claim1 ：the ancient Paleans could have crossed The Brim River only by boat
Data1：The Brim River is very deep and broad, and so the ancient Paleans could have crossed it only by boat,
Warrant 1:just because the river is so-called deep and broad, there is only one method which is boating to cross the river.

Claim2: the so-called Palean baskets were not uniquely Palean
Data2:Thus it follows that the so-called Palean baskets were not uniquely Palean.
Warrant2: just because the so-called only tool which was Palean boats had not been found, the author predicted that the Woven baskets could not have been taken from Palea to Lithos, an ancient village across the Brim River from Palea. Woven baskets might be from Lithos
开头段
According to the argument, the author believed that the so-called Palean baskets were not uniquely Palean just because they were found in another place across the Brim River from Palea. To strengthen his assumption, the author added that the Brim River is very deep and broad, so the ancient Paleans only had one method which is boating to cross the river. But no Palean boats had been found. There are several evidences such as the method to cross the river, the casual link between the boat and the Woven baskets which are needed to support the author’s assumption.
中间段
To begin with, the author believed that the river is deep and broad. But he did not give the exact number of the river’s depth and breadth. So we can not preclude that ancient Paleans can use other methods than boating to cross the river. Maybe they can swim across it or there is another way to go to the other side of the river.
In addition, the author said that no Palean boats had been found, but he did not instruct exactly the casual link between the boat and the Woven baskets. He also did not say the time of the  village of Palea and the village of Lithos. Maybe they were in different times and the woven baskets were taken to Lithos when there was no river.

Woven baskets characterized by a particular distinctive pattern have previously been found only in the immediate vicinity of the prehistoric village of Palea and therefore were believed to have been made only by the Palean people. Recently, however, archaeologists discovered such a 'Palean' basket in Lithos, an ancient village across the Brim River from Palea.

Thus it follows that the so-called Palean baskets were not uniquely Palean.

Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.

Claim 1:Palean Basket is only made by the Palean people

Data 1: Palean Basket had only been found in the immediate vicinity of Palea village

Warrant 1: the present known place that found the Palean Basket is the place it was made.

Evidence: More information about the archaeological progress in the nearby area around the Palea.

More information on the discovery of Palean Basket. Whether it is easily preserved even after the long history.

The Condition of Palea, whether it has the condition that allows the basket to preserve throughout the long history.

Claim 2: ancient Paleans could not cross the Brim River

Data 2: The Brim River is very deep and broad and there is no boat found

Warrant 2:

1. Brim River is as deep and broad in ancient times as today

2. There is no other way other than by boat to cross the Brim River

3. Ancient Paleans had no boat.

Evidence: The geographic information in ancient times of Palea and Brim River. The wether conditions in ancient times of Palea.

Claim 3: so-called Palean baskets were not uniquely Palean

Data3 :

1. archaeologists discovered such a 'Palean' basket in Lithos, an ancient village across the Brim River from Palea.

2. Claim2: ancient Paleans could not cross the Brim River

Warrant3: the basket could be brought to Lithos only by people.

首段

The argument states that the so-called Palean baskets may not be uniquely Palean as one had been found in a village from across a river. To evaluate the credibility of the argument conclusion, a lot more evidences are needed in order to illustrate as least the three following aspects: archaeological progress of Palean Basket, whether Palean baskets could be brought to Lithos only by people and whether Paleans could cross the Brim River.

中间段

The argument assumes if Palean basket is made by Palean people, its appearance in Lithos has to be brought over by people. However, many other ways could also do the work. The baskets has been preserved for thousands of years, a long time that plains could have become mountains. The basket might be buried in Palea however moved to Lithos along with geographical plate movement, and therefore were discovered there. It could also be brought by hurricanes, flood or simply drift over along Brim River. Without contradictory evidences, it could even be carried there by a boring bird, who stole the basket from Palea, flew to Lithos, and dropped it there.

There may be various reasons for the change in the consumption of kiran. To make sure the increase in kiran consumption is due to the improvement of people’s awareness in healthy problem, we should compare the kira consumption per capital instead of the total amount. Therefore, the data of the population of the city should be taken into the investigation when writing the report.

In this argument, the author maintains that the citizens of Forsyth(F) have adopted more healthful lifestyles.  By referring to a study about the eating habits of F, the author tries to persuade us that they really live a good eating lifestyle.He also points out the sales of two kinds of food which affect the health to strengthen his view.
