Argument 170:
Words: 426       Time: 35 minutes
In this argument, the arguer concludes that Gulf Coast oysters will make greater progress, once the consumers are aware of the increased safety of Gulf Coast oysters and willing to buy them at the same price as northeastern Antic Coast oysters. In order to support this conclusion, the arguer points out that the decrease profits are emerging after harmful bacterial were found in a few raw Gulf Coast oysters. In addition, he shows that scientists have devised a process to kill the bacterial. However, after careful examination, this argument is not persuasive as it stands for several flaws.

First of all, the arguer makes a false assumption that the consumers are willing to buy Gulf Coast oysters though the safety of them is informed. Generally speaking, the reputation is very important to a company. After the decrease selling for the found bacterial in Gulf Coast oysters last for the past five years, it is very difficult for the company to pick up its reputation and the trust of the consumers, though the process of killing the bacterial are obtained. The mental shade prevents the willing to buy Gulf Coast oysters.

What is more, the arguer makes a false conclusion that the consumers are pleased to pay the same price as northeastern Coast oysters. As the consumers are willing to pay twice as much for oysters from northeastern Atlantic Coast as for Gulf Coast oysters in the past five years, the consumers are accustomed to the taste of the latter. Under the condition of the same price, there is no sure that the consumers are pleased to buy oysters from Gulf Coast.

Last but not least, the arguer makes a hasty conclusion that greater profits will be obtained Gulf Coast oysters. The research of the process of killing the bacterial costs large amount of money which can not be gained in a short time, especially under the condition of profits decreased. What is more, other expenditure can also influence the profits. Without these factors taken into account, that conclusion can not stand well.

In sum, this conclusion is not reasoning and lacks credibility because the analysis in the argument can not lead strong support to what the arguer maintains. To make the argument more convincing, the arguer must make more wide and deep market survey to sure that the consumers are truly pleased to buy oysters without doubt after knowing the safety of the oysters from Gulf Coast. Additionally, the arguer has to consider more factors to make sure that Gulf Coast oysters will win greater profits.
