The following appeared as a letter to the editor from the owner of a skate shop in Central Plaza.
"Two years ago the city council voted to prohibit skateboarding in Central Plaza. They claimed that skateboard users were responsible for litter and vandalism that were keeping other visitors from coming to the plaza. In the past two years, however, there has been only a small increase in the number of visitors to Central Plaza. and litter and vandalism are still problematic. Skateboarding is permitted in Monroe Park, however, and there is no problem with litter or vandalism there. In order to restore Central Plaza to its former glory, then, we recommend that the city lift its prohibition on skateboarding in the plaza."
Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether the recommendation and the argument on which it is based are reasonable. Be sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the recommendation.
Firstly, the number of other factors have not been considered or taken into account. there must be simple and logical solution stated for the menace stated by the authorities. The owner has not stated or even refuted the argument of the council which makes the argument to be flawed. The other fcators have to be questioned and the reasons on how to stop them in future need to be introspected.
Secondly, comparative statement about the other park has been stated in an ambiguous manner and the owner has failed to mention clear and concrete illustrations, paradigm question needs to be. if both the parks are of the same kind and the same nature. They should also be in a position to answer the question pertaning to the prohibitive mechanism and also the differences between the parks. I would also like to question if both the plazas follow the same protocol and litter control norms.
Thirdly, failed to mention on how the the factor of lilting the band and restriction would be advantageous for the general public and the city council. This argument is also not supported. There might be several other reasons except the prohibition that causes only a small increase in the number of clientele. For instance, the local population.;! better plaza nearby.

No act is done purely for the benefit of Claim: others
All actions―even those that seem to be done for other people―are based on self-interest.
Reason-Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the claim and the reason on which that claim is based.
Firstly, every action that is being done by humans, the hughest and most evolved form of animals tend to have certain primitive features still attached. The simple act of placing oneself and then close ones in priority when in terms of decision making. For example, people always make sure that they have fulfilled their own needs and sometimes they ensure that their wants are also fulfilled. This trait of humans would never change and it would be the same even in the future Even in the dystopian literature and the novels that I have come across humans have never been projected as a selfless creature.
Secondly, the phlight of the reason is imperative to be understood. The claim is being bolstered and strengthened through the reason The word’ All actions" might sound a bit hyperbole and may be exagerated but in general most for he actions done by people for the welfare of the others would have a significant and crucial feature in the their own wellbeing. To illustrate, my friend used to teach us certain chapters and concepts in high school later he revealed tat teaching us helped him to understand the concepts and even remember them even better As stated above, the claim is certainly true to a greater extent, however the reason might be blown out of proportion. Just as how selfishness is a human triat so is selflessness.
To conclude, human life is filled with balances always, people tend to be good for the others and might expect certain benefits for themself This inherent trait at least keeps the sense of helping tendecy alive. Hence I would agree that even when people act for the other it would have some tangible or intangible benefit for oneself.

Colleges and universities should require their students to spend at least one semester studying in a foreign country.
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with (lie claim. In developing and supporting your position- be sure to address the most compelling reasons and or examples that could be used to challenge your position.
I have always been inquisitive and eager to know about the eastern culture and the tradition and even many of the languages. If I get the opportunity to travel and study I will be fortunate to experience the nuances of the culture first hand. To add on. in person experience leaches a student about the inclusive nature of the individual in a new environment. It would also show them the various ideas and theories about their field of study.
For example, my friend who studied architecture went to japan for a semester and he was amazed by the kind of buildings and the kind of patterns the people had used. It helps us to understand the various possibilities and the various horizons that we might not even be exposed to if we do not travel.
It is significant and important for every person to travel to the new places in order to explore about the learning options and also to learn about themselves. Universities are the place where on get sthe opportunity to learn as much as and even make any errors as they are a student. Learning possibilities and options are open and they get to learn and explore as much as possible.
To conlcude. I have alwasy believed that a student is someone who has been boundaries or borders for learnign and he ought to explore as much as possible beyond the geographical barriers.

The following appeared in a letter to the editor of a Batavia newspaper
"The department of agriculture in Batavia reports that the number of dairy farms throughout the country is now 25 percent greater than it was 10 years ago. During this same time period, however, the price of milk at the local Excello Food Market has increased from SI.50 to over $3.00 per gallon. To prevent farmers from continuing to receive excessive profits on an apparently increased supply of milk, the Batavia government should begin to regulate retail milk prices Such regulation is necessary to ensure fair prices for consumers."
Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether the recommendation is likely to have the predicted result Be sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the recommendation
Firstly. The letter has failed to address the population growth in the region of Batavia. in the event of considering the supply and demand in a place. It is crucial to take into consideration the population of the place the equal proportion of the growth in the number of dairy farms This might lead to many reasons and it could also dissolve the issue if the population outburst might have happened.
Another major issue that the letter has failed to address is the impact of the general rpice inflation. It is to be understood that in any economy it is imperative that there would be an increase in the price of products and services over a period of time. There could even be an increase in the raw materials, fodder, and medical expenses incurred by the dairy farm owners and milk manufacturers.
The third arbitrary assumption made by the letter would be that the profits are being solely taken by the manufacturers, the labor wages, cost of production and even the cost incurred doing the deliver) might have substantially increased. If various such factors are to be considered then the appropriate solution cannot be just the government intervention and there might be a need for a more comprehensive solution.
To conclude, the letter might appear to have addressed the issue but in reality it has failed to view it from the different dimension and ultimately fails to give a clear responsive view with valued evidences and supportive data.

The following appeared in a memo from the president of Bower Builders, a company that constructs new homes.
"A nationwide survey reveals that the two most-desired home features are a large family room and a large, well-appointed kitchen. A number of homes in our area built by our competitor Domus Construction have such features and have sold much faster and at significantly higher prices than the national average. To boost sales and profits, we should increase the size of the family rooms and kitchens in all the homes we build and should make state-of-the-art kitchens a standard feature. Moreover, our larger family rooms and kitchens can come at the expense of the dining room, since many of our recent buyers say they do not need a separate dining room for family meals."
Write a response in which you examine the stated and or unstated assumptions of the argument. Be sure to explain how the argument depends on these assumptions and what the implications are for the argument if the assumptions prove unwarranted.
The company believes that they would be able to improve the profit by replacing the dining room space with more space for living room and kitchen, they also focus on state of the art kitchen facilities. It is impertaive that the company states the various assumptions and the basis on which these assumptions would be stated. The company has failed to show and
prove any given data or fact that ought of lead to the evidence that there might be possible increase in the profits.
The preferential choices of the people have also not been stated any where in the passage. The random generalization only weaknes and undermiens the statement. the statement has to be supported with survey from the people or the purchasers which might provide better insights to the given statements.
It is essential for the company to consider the other factors and look into the sales for the holistic perpoective rather that from a profit oriented angle.
The type of assumptions made in the memo are subjective and inclined towards a great extent. which might be flawed in the event of not proving any Isubslantial evidences.
To conclude. I think that it is essential for the company to substantiate the views and assumptions with better data and facts, failing which it would remain to be flawed. Any assumptions needs to be places on valid and reasonable ideas without which the core of the premise would hold no good.

Claim: Governments must ensure that their major cities receive the financial support they need in order to thrive.
Reason: It is primarily in cities that a nation’s cultural traditions are preserved and generated.
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the claim and the reason on which that claim is based.
It is extremely crucial that the traditional and the cultural values of the nation are protected as they create an identity for the individual and also the nation as the whole. But the statement that the cities are the only representation of the cultural and tradition is flawed. I believe that the cultural and the traditional variations and the facts that are ought to be preserved needs to be focused on the towns and the villages also as they contain the roots of the nation. City on the other hand does hold significant buildings, monuments and the historically significant structures that ought to be protected for the safeguarding of the cultural and the traditional importance of the nation.
It is also important for the nation as a whole to protect the facts especially monuments and historical structures that reflect the traditional aspects and the cultural values of the nation. Government funding plays a key role in the establishment of the same as the financial aspects are crucial in protecting the nature of the tradition and culture.
It is also important that the villages. cultural groups and minorities and the linguistic oriented cultural groups are protected and funds should be allocated for the well being and the development of the same. It is essential that the government funds that are allocated must be carefully spent on the factors that influence the cultural and traditional aspects of the nation.
For example, money should be allocated in order to teach, propagate and the spread the local and vernacular languages. Many European countries have been actively doing the same, for over a period of time.
It is also essential for the people as the tradition and culture creates a form of identity for them and the protection of the cultural and the traditional values and aspects strengthens their identity among the world nations.

The following appeared in a letter from the owner of the Sunnyside Towers apartment complex to its manager.
"Last week, all the showerheads in the first three buildings of the Sunnyside Towers complex were modified to restrict maximum water flow to one-third of what it used to be. Although actual readings of water usage before and after the adjustment are not yet available, the change will obviously result in a considerable savings for Sunnyside Corporation, since the corporation must pay for water each month. Except for a few complaints about low water pressure, no problems with showers have been reported since the adjustment. Clearly, modifying showerheads to restrict water flow throughout all twelve buildings in the Sunnyside Towers complex will increase our profits further."
Write a response in which you examine the stated and or unstated assumptions of the argument. Be sure to explain how the argument depends on these assumptions and what the implications are for the argument if the assumptions prove unwarranted.
The owner has stated bis perspective by taking into account a generalized view point and also given the lack of evidentiary values creates a dearth and paucity in the statements made by the owner. The weakness in the statement is purely created due to the general assumption of the owner and not based on the data or substantial evidence of the observation made in the changes in the building.
The Drawbacks have been mentioned by the owner but they have not been considered seriously as negative possibilities that might cause them future expenses. The other important aspect is the lack of the consideration given to the various factors. The owners statement are primarily focused on the profits and they negate all other aspects such as the water pressure and the exact data which he clearly states is unavailable till now.
[Without considering the exact usage of the water based on the number of people who are using, the exact number of shower heads, the total amount of water consumed. the average supply of water in the building, the totla profit that they might make, the overheads cost and the cost of installation of the new shower heads all need to stipulated and then considered on a serious note before they proceed with the changes.
The owner needs to conduct a proer study of the data rather than making a hyperbolic assumption that they would meet profits, given that there is not guarantee for the same.
It is essential for the statement to also consider the extent of profit that they could make (brought the proposed change.
To conclude, it is essential for the statement postulated in the letter to consider more comprehensive aspects before arriving at the conclusion that would only undermine and weaken the perspective of the given letter.
