TOPIC: ARGUMENT188 - A new report suggests that men and women experience pain very differently from one another, and that doctors should consider these differences when prescribing pain medications. When researchers administered the same dosage of kappa opioids-a painkiller-to 28 men and 20 women who were having their wisdom teeth extracted, the women reported feeling much less pain than the men, and the easing of pain lasted considerably longer in women. This research suggests that kappa opioids should be prescribed for women whenever pain medication is required, whereas men should be given other kinds of pain medication. In addition, researchers should reevaluate the effects of all medications on men versus women.

Grounding on the report from 28 men and 20 women who are suffered from pain derive from the extraction of wisdom teeth, the author hastily comes to the conclusion that women should be presicribed with kappa opioids whereas men should take other kinds of pain medication whenever pain medication are required, besides, the author also suggest researchers should reevaluate the effects of all medications on men versus men. Persvasive as it seems, the author virtually features some flaws once submitted to further examination.

On the first floor, the author cites that a research was conducted to 28 men and 20 women who have been presicribed with the same dosage of kappa o while they were having their wisdom teeth extrated, and the feeling reported by women is much less than the men, and the effect of the medication lasted considerably longer in women than in men. On the one hand, the sample is prone to be biased as to the number is 28 and 20 respectively. It is possible that all 20 women feel pain while there are 21 men feel pain, then this ratio displays that women feel much more pain than the men.

On the other hand, the information of health condition of those 28 men and 20 men are not provided by the author, it is impossible that all the 48 interviewees’ health condition are the same.
Suppose that the 28 men more sensitive to the sense of pain than those of 20 women, then the report is susceptible to be unconvincing.

Moreover, we also cannot rule out the possibility that those 20 women has added some other pain medication while taking the kappa o, or some particular care of theri teeth to ease pain. On the contrary, the men have not take such action so that they would feel much painful than those women.

And also according to the difference between women and men, the same dosage of kappa o cannot meet the demands of disimilar type of women and men. The men may need larger dosage of pain medication than women. For example, whem women take 2 pills a day, men need 3 pills per day so that the medication can be effective. So this tends to illustrate that kappa o is effective to men only when they take enough dosage of medication.

Last but not the least, concedeing all the above falws are out of question, the report of the effectiveness of kappa o on these 48 people cannot represent the overall situtaion of people who take kappa o, it is equally possible that thses interviewees are the distictones deviate sharply from normal situation. So there is no need to reevaluate the effects of all medications on women vrsus men as it is a time-consuming and finance-consuming work.



In sum, in order to bolster the author’s statement of suggesting only women to take kappa and reevaluate all medications on men versus men, the author should provide detailed information of the sample from every possible aspect to reinfore the reliability of the conclusion.

怎么写了这么多……
不知道主要逻辑错误有没有抓住呢…
