Argument 165
The arguer gave a conclusion that no chemicals inducing health problems are contained in the cans. He supported his statement by presenting three points:(1) eight million cans of tuna were returned, which seems a good selection of sample;(2) five of eight common problem chemicals were not found;(3) other three are often found in canned foods. At the first glance, the statement seems to be well grounded. But when we make a deeper analysis, it is easy to notice that there are many flaws in this statement.
To begin with, it is doubtful whether the result of tested samples can present the information of all returned cans. As we know, though eight million cans were returned, it is impossible to test all of them. This is an issue of effective selection. Maybe the tested samples are from the same place or the same factory and it is true that no obvious chemical containing. But we still have the skeptical that other cans have toxic chemicals. Therefore, it is necessary to make sure that the tested samples are from different places, factory and produced in different time.
Providing that the sample selection is totally believable, the authority of the test result is still not beyond doubt, for the arguer only mentioned eight common chemicals. Perhaps there are many other chemicals blending in the foods. There is no evident to exclude this possibility. Perhaps other chemicals have a significant affection on our health.
Furthermore, it is irresponsible for arguer to ignore three naturally containing problem chemicals. Though the arguer knew that these three chemicals can be harmful to our body, he did not give a positive respond to solve this visible problem.
As an educated individual, no one can accept such a ridiculous conclusion.
To sum up, the arguer gave a credible statement that the cans are safe foods. In order to practically assure the health of consumers and present us a well grounded conclusion, the argue has to go further work as following: (1) making sure that the testing method obeys the basic principle of statistics; (2) whether there is an existence of unique noxious chemicals;(3) persuading the food producers to replace or modify the current material of can.
Issue 203
"The best way to understand the character of a society is to examine the character of the men and women that the society chooses as its heroes or its heroines."
Heroes and heroines frequently appear on the TV screen, and we are used to considering them as the characteristic persons in our society. To some extent, heroes and heroines actually reflect the partial characters of our society.
Heroes and Heroines usually stand for strong and endless power. They always bring us something amazing, even unbelievable. What invariably happen in a movie is that heroes or heroines beat back our enemies and relight our life through a painful fight. There is a close resemblance to our society. We human beings always come across some disasters and come to the dangerous edge at some time. But these disasters had never brought us down though we paid a severe price. In fact, we are all heroes or heroines.
But we never miss the sense that heroes and heroines show their other aspect-weakness. Heroes and heroines sometimes drop tears behind common people for they don't want others to know that they also very common. Despite their disguise, we can still find the little remain on their pale face. To varying degrees, all of us have the time when we feel sad or depress. So does the society. The environmental problem is such a typical example. The beautiful earth is our lovely mother but she is so weak when we produce so much toxic gas and pollute the blue seas without realizing that these have hurt her so heavy.
On the other hand, society is much more complicated than the plot in movie. There are many problems which a hero or heroin cannot solve. Human is only one of the various components of society. Other breeds are equally important as our human. We always ignore the importance of these creatures so that some of them die out and the balance of society is disturbed. It is our false to disregard the existing of our neighbors. As we know, giant pandas are mere species, and maybe some years later they will never move ponderously in front of us and never bring us happiness if we still to act according our own styles for profit. Only paying more attention to these mere species and giving them a friendly environment, we can then call us heroes or heroines.
In conclusion, heroes and heroines possess some features of society. But we are only part of society so that it is not enough to learn it simply though heroes and heroines. There are many tough issues, beyond the ability of heroes and heroines, which are waiting to be dealt with by ourselves. |
