ISSUE:
Recently there is a debate over whether …..Some people assert
that.., while other people believe that…
As a matter of fact, the issue of whether ….. is a complex and
controversial one. Different people hold different views due to
their distinct backgrounds. Therefore, there is not a universal
answer to this question, and whether one choice takes
precedence over the other may quite depend on the specific
situation. The decision, nevertheless, is not an easy one to
make. Actually, the final judgment should rely on a case-by-
case analysis. As far as I am concerned, however, I agree
that …. , and do not agree that….. My view can be greatly
substantiated by the following discussions.
The first argument that can be presented to develop my
position is that… A good example may be found in the case
that… Under this circumstance, it is obvious that….
In addition, there is another reason for me to choose this
statement. The reason is not far to seek…. To illustrate, let
us consider that … Hence, another equally important aspect
is that….
Admittedly, it may be true that …. in some conditions.
However, this alone does not constitute a sufficient support to
claim that ….,Actually, these cases are rare and therefore are
too specific and too weak to strengthen the view that…
When the advantages and disadvantages of x and y are
carefully examined, the most striking conclusion is obvious
that…
To sum up, due to the above mentioned reasons, which
sometimes correlate with each other to generate an integrate
whole and thus become more convincing than any single one
of them, we may be comfortable to say that …., because….
ARGUMENT
In this argument, the author concludes that… To support his
conclusion, the author points out that…. In addition, the author
reasons that…
Further more, he also assumes that … . At first glance, the
author s argument appears to be somehow appealing, while
a close examination will reveal how groundless it is.
We do not have to look very far to see the invalidity of
this argument. This argument is problematic for the following
reasons.
In the first place, this argument rests on a gratuitous
assumption that …. The author unfairly assumes that….
However, the assumption is questionable because the author
provides no evidence to support this argument. The arguer
fails to take into account other facts that might contribute to
the result that …….. It is likely that , ……………..; it is also
likely that ………………………… Any of these scenarios, if true,
would show that ………………….. (72)
Therefore, this argument is unwarranted without ruling out
such possibility.
In the second place, the argument commits a logic fallacy of
“after this and therefore because of this”. In no case can the
mere fact that… be cited as evidence to support the assumption
that there is a causal-
effect relationship between A and B. Moreover, that just
because B can be statistically correlated with A does not
necessarily mean that A is the cause of B. In fact, the author
has obviously neglected the possibility of other alternative facts
such as…, or … may contribute to a certain extent to B. It may
be only a coincidence that …… . Unless the author can rule out
other factors relevant to …, this assumption in question can
not be accepted.
In the third place, the evidence that the author provides is
insufficient to support the conclusion drawn from it. One
example is rarely sufficient to establish a general conclusion.
Unless the arguer can show that A1 is representative of all A,
the conclusion that B… is completely unwarranted. In fact, in
face of such limited evidence, it is fallacious to draw any
conclusion at all.
In the fourth place, the argument has also committed a false
analogy fallacy. The argument rests on the assumption that A
is analogous to B in all respects, and the author assumes
without justification that all things are equal, and that the
background conditions have remained the same at different
times or at different locations. There is, however, no guarantee
that this is the case. Nor does the author cite any evidence to
support this assumption. Lacking this assumption, the
conclusion that … is entirely unfounded. In fact, it is highly
doubtful that the facts drawn from B are applicable to A.
Differences between A and B clearly out weight the similarities,
thus making the analogy highly less than valid. For example,
A..., however, B.... Thus, it is likely much more difficult for B
to do....
In addition, the conclusion unjustifiably relies on the poll while
the validity of the survey itself is doubtful. The poll cited by the
author is too vague to be informative. The claim does not
indicate who, when, how and by whom the survey is conducted,
neither does it mention what is the sample size, or how the
samples are selected. Until these questions are answered the
results are worthless as evidence to support that….
Besides, the author assumes that A and B are mutually
exclusive alternatives. However, the author has never offered
any reasons or evidences for imposing an either/or choice.
Common sense and observation tells us that adjoining both A
and B might produce better results.
To sum up, the conclusion lacks credibility because the
evidence cited in the analysis does not lend strong support to
what the author claims. To make the argument more convincing
concerning…. , the arguer would have to provide more
information that………………. The arguer should also
demonstrate that……………….to make this argument logically
acceptable. (51)
Since the author commits the above mentioned logical mistakes
and fails to consider the whole situation comprehensively, his
ideas should not be adopted. The conclusion would be
strengthened if he….
In conclusion, the arguer fails to substantiate his claim that ….
Because the evidence cited in the analysis does not lend strong
support to what the arguer claims. To strengthen the argument,
the arguer must convince us that…. In addition, the arguer
could have to provide more precise information to support his
claim.
It is entirely possible that management has become lax
regarding any number of factors that can affect the bottom line
such as inferior products, careless product pricing, inefficient
production, poor employee expense monitoring, ineffective
advertising, sloppy buying policies and other wasteful spending.
