Tiger 的ISSUE & ARGU  求拍

ISSUE 221

From the statement by the speaker , that we can break down the illusion that people in different historical period are signifcantly different ,which is the chief benefit of study of history , we can be clearly informed that the speaker holds the viewpoint that peolple in differnet historical period are more or less similar . I admit that people in various historical period has more or less similar especilly in human nature , and there is great benefit to know ourselves to study history . However, I contend more compared just finding the similar of human by the study of history , that we can also acknowledge our differences from evolving and processing of civilization , which can be at least the same beneficial .  And the most important is , not only to know human themselves, but also , studying history brings other significant benefits as well .

Frist of all ,studying history can lead us to the similar of human from past to nowadays .Certain of problems currently ,even different in level and style , however , are more or less the repeating to itsself ,such as the pursuit and dispute of equlity , contention of politics, wars and the dynasty subrogation .By studying these , we learn that basic of human nature --our desire and motive ,as well as indulgence and introspection --has presenting alike over centuries . And through learning ourselves deeply , we can deal with problems more wisely and effectively. For example , from the history , we are warned that simple communism is certain of idealize and it is fool to found this kind of society right now , due to the human nature , has its aspect of greed and selfishness ,that we have to accept and acknowledge. And also ,the history teach us that it is inexpedient to attempt to legislate morality ,because human nature resisit having their moral choice forced upon them ,or there will be arising the familiar appeal  that " human rights and freedom are sufferring downtrodden".

However , we have to acknowledge that human beings and their society are in evolving and changing by reanalyzing our history . The living conditions ,values, cultures ,the mian problems and challenge are dramatically different in between different historic periods . For a instance ,comparing by fighting against slavery hundreds years ago ,the purpose that we pursuit human rights are totally different nowadays , it is conceivable context that several sociology experts and education experting are sitting together , discussing if the education in university should be free or not . From researching the history , and the differences ,we learn what is right to do ,and we change and improve our conditions .For example , we found country leaders before World War Two thought about more the defense policies and military strategies by reseaching World War One . Nevertheless, the thing that human beings nowadays thought more is about how to reduce the storing for wars as least the deadly weapons and keep a world-wide harmony by reading the wars before .

What'more , we can not ignore that excepting for just knowing what human beings are ,the likeness and the differences ,we get the significantly precious scientific and knowledge weath ,by the study of history . For example ,disease record are researched to be used to deal with the similar varieties. Crimes record are also benefitful for psychology .The most important reference for holding a successful Olympics Games of 2008 for Beijing may be just the kinds of records of 2004's in Athens and 2000's in Sydney . Ecologist are tending to reseach the fossil ,then to notice us what is the most important in protecting our living enviroment and resisiting disaster by the simulation of history . We can not deny these benefits are also noteworthy by the study of history .

In conclusion ,history is like a magic mirror ,we can know ourselves by studing our yesterday. However, fortunately , we can also see our improvement . Both the similarity and evolvement are beneficial ,admonishing us and encouraging us respectively . In addition, the history provides us with precious knowledge and culture heritage ,waiting us to study more ,and learn more.

ARGU101

In a recent study, subjects who ate soybeans at least five times per week had significantly lower cholesterol levels than subjects who ate no soy products. By fortifying our Wheat-O cereal with soy protein, we can increase sales by appealing to additional consumers who are concerned about their health. This new version of Wheat-O should increase company profits and, at the same time, improve the health of our customers.

In this argument , the author cited a recent study presenting that the people who ate soybeans more than five times every week shown considerable lower cholesterol levels than that have no soy products . Then author advises that their breackfast cereal Wheat-O should be improved with soy protein , due to the reason that they can rise their sales from the potential customers who care more about their health . And finally , the author makes the conclusion that the new type of Wheat-O would raise theire business profit ,and be benefit for their customers' health as well . However, this argument is unconvincing because it suffers from several critical flaws in logic .

To begin with , the study cited by the author shows that people ate soybeans had lower cholesterol levels that that ate no soy products , however , even to persume that the source and the statictics of this survey is authentic , there is yet no direct evidence to prove that these people with lower cholesterol levels is just because they ate soy , and that who has high level of cholesterol attributing to ate no soy products .There is possibility that the subjects who had lower level of cholesterol is because their better physical condition ,or age ,or other reasons but not eating soybeans. Without presenting detailed and direct evidences to show the linkage between decreasing cholesterol levels and eating soybeans, the argument fails to convince from its basis .

Further more, even to admit that eating soybeans has its benefit in decreasing cholesterol levels , nevertheless, what the ingredient that the author advises to use for fortifying their products is soy protein . Fristly , no evidences is presented to prove that the soy protein has the same effect in benefiting people 's health , the natural foods may have the noteworthy differences with artifical foods. Secondly ,because the new ingredient may be neutralized by someother components of Wheat-O ,so the new products may not as salutary as soybeans . Without deep and strict reaseach for soy proteins and its final effect as being the ingredient in Wheat-O , the author's statement is suffering fallacies in reasoning and not logical .

Finally, the author contends that the new type of food will increase their sals ,as well as company profis , which looks like personal opinion without sufficient  market reseach and rational analyzing . There is the possibility that the main customers of Wheal-O focus mostly on the taste of this products ,not the effect in health , so that the new type of Wheal-O may also suffering the risk of sales decreasing . In addition , to add soybean proteins into Wheal-O will inevitably incresae the cost of the product , so now no reasons from this argument can show that the profit of the company will be increased from the new type of products. All these two statements in business field from this argument isnot convincing due to the lack of market reseach and strict analysis .

To sum up , the author fails to address several weak areas that lead to a unconvincing conclusion . To strengthen the argument , not only direct evidence should be presented to show that the Wheal-O with the ingredient -soy protein will be helpful in decreasing the cholesterol level of people and finally be beneficial in health , but also market research and tational analysis should be cited to prove that the new product will increase the sales as well as the profits of the company .
