A200.Statistics collected from dentists indicate that three times more men than women faint while visiting the dentist. This evidence suggests that men are more likely to be distressed about having dental work done than women are. Thus, dentists who advertise to attract patients should target the male consumer and emphasize both the effectiveness of their anesthetic techniques and the sensitivity of their staff to nervous of suffering patients.
Resting on the statistics collected from dentists to suggest that men are more likely to be distressed while going to the dentists, and then the dentists should advertise to attract patients targeting the male consumer, the author's statement seems sound at first blush. A further analysis nevertheless indicating that the his or her reasoning is based upon insufficient evidence and invalid deduction, which would therefore render it from convincing us as it states.
In the first place, the author fails to provide evidence to support his assumption that three times more men than women faint while visiting the dentist. It is completely possible that there are more male patients than female during the investigating period, has lead to the result of more men faint. Assuming that there are 1000 men and 100 women visit the dentists during that period, and 30 men and 10 women faint. By comparing the ratio of male and female patients to that of the faints-- -ten to one to three to one---the proper presumption can easily overturn that of the author's. Therefore, lacking reliable evidence to prove the correctness of the assumption, the author cannot justifiably conclude that men are more easily than women when going to the dentist.
Secondly, given that the assumption in the first paragraph is warranted, it is still not reasonable for the author to claim that men are more likely than women to be distressed. As to the case of having dental work done, in the fact that women are more likely to hind their feelings, women may be more nervous than men. Unlike men, they may suffer from other distress rather than faint, and distress like psychological, mental, and so forth; if worse, they may even not go to the dentists. Without pondering and ruling out those and other factors, it can not reach to the result that men are easier in coma compared to women while having dental work done.
Last but not least, the author irrationally suggests that in an attempt to attract patients, the advertisement should be devised to target the male consumer and emphasize both the effectiveness of their anesthetic techniques and the sensitivity of their staff to nervous and suffering patients. If there are just many of those women who would not visit the dentists because of nervous, a prodigious amount of potential female clients would lose. Moreover, as it is always women who manage the house-hold and consume the most, they have always been considered as the prime objection of the ads. Thus, how could the dentists neglect to aim at the female patients? In addition, the most important thing cared by patients is the dentists' technique but not their sensitivity. After all, Relying only upon the effectiveness of anesthetic techniques and the sensitivity of their staff to nervous and suffering patients do little to attract clients.
Based on the analysis of all these illogical and unreasonable evidence, the author can not safely draw the conclusion which, irrational alleged in the statement, would mislead the dentists and patients, and may even give rise to serious situations. To strengthen the argument, the author should investigate and present more specific details and scientific statistics to prove whether it is true men are easier faint than women. The author should also bolster the argument by pondering every possible factors may serve to attracting clients, and contriving a more constructively suggestion.
