　　ARGUMENT179.The following is a memorandum written by the director of personnel to the president of the Cedar Corporation.

　　"It would be a mistake to rehire the Good-Taste Company to supply the food in our employee cafeteria next year. It is the second most expensive caterer in the city. In addition, its prices have risen in each of the last three years, and it ruses to provide meals for people on special diets. Just last month three employees complained to me that they no longer eat in the cafeteria because they find the experience &aposunbearable.&apos Our company should instead hire Discount Foods. Discount is a family-owned local company and it offers a varied menu of fish and poultry. I recently tasted a sample lunch at one of the many companies that Discount serves and it was delicious—an indication that hiring Discount will lead to improved employee satisfaction."

　　issue:59- "Too much emphasis is placed on role models. Instead of copying others, people should learn to think and act independently and thus make the choices that are best for them."

　　70."In any profession—business, politics, education, government—those in power should step down after five years. The surest path to success for any enterprise is revitalization through new leadership."

　　argument:188-A new report suggests that men and women experience pain very differently from one another, and that doctors should consider these differences when prescribing pain medications. When researchers administered the same dosage of kappa opioids — a painkiller — to 28 men and 20 women who were having their wisdom teeth extracted, the women reported feeling much less pain than the men, and the easing of pain lasted considerably longer in women. This research suggests that kappa opioids should be prescribed for women whenever pain medication is required, whereas men should be given other kinds of pain medication. In addition, researchers should reevaluate the fects of all medications on men versus women.

　　issue 18 "In the age of television, reading books is not as important as it once was. People can learn as much by watching television as they can by reading books."

　　argument :111The following appeared in a memo from the vice president of marketing at Dura-Sock, Inc. “A recent study of Dura-Sock wearers suggests that our company is wasting the money it spends on its patented &aposEndure&apos manufacturing process, which ensures that our socks are strong enough to last for two years. Dura-Sock has always advertised its use of the &aposEndure&apos process, but the new study shows that the average Dura-Sock customer actually purchases new Dura-Socks every three months. Furthermore, Dura-Sock customers surveyed in our largest market, northeastern United States cities, say that they most value Dura-Sock&aposs stylish appearance and availability in many colors. These findings suggest that Dura-Sock can increase its profits by discontinuing its use of the &aposEndure&apos manufacturing process."

　　issue 226-"People are mistaken when they assume that the problems they confront are more complex and challenging than the problems faced by their predecessors. This illusion is eventually dispelled with increased knowledge and experience."

　　48-"The study of history places too much emphasis on individuals. The most significant events and trends in history were made possible not by the famous few, but by groups of people whose identities have long been forgotten."

　　argument26-The following appeared in a memo from the chairperson of the school board in the town of Saluda.

　　"For the past five years, Mr. Charles Schade has been the music director at Steel City High School, and during that time the school band from Steel City High has won three regional band competitions.

　　argument46-Although black bears are common in the eastern Canadian province of Labrador, grizzly bears—often similar in color, but much larger—were believed to exist only in the western provinces. Despite a nineteenth-century explorer&aposs account of having startled and narrowly escaped from a grizzly bear deep in the woods in Labrador(4), modern scientists find no physical evidence that grizzly bears have ever lived in Labrador. But recent research into the language and legends of the Innu(1), a people who have lived in Labrador for thousands of years, reveals that their language has words for two different kinds of bears, and their ancient legends attribute different characteristics to the two kinds of bears(2,3). Therore, there probably were grizzly bears in Labrador, and the explorer&aposs account probably accurately identified the bear.

　　ISSUE141-"Most people recognize the benits of individuality, but the fact is that personal economic success requires conformity."

　　168-"Critical judgment of work in any given field has little value unless it comes from someone who is an expert in that field."

　　ARGUMENT192.The following is a letter to the editor of the Roseville Gazette.

　　"Despite opposition from some residents of West Roseville(1), the arguments in favor of merging the townships of Roseville and West Roseville(2) are overwhelming. First, residents in both townships are confused about which authority to contact when they need a service; for example, the police department in Roseville receives many calls from residents of West Roseville. This sort of confusion would be eliminated with the merger(3). Second, the savings in administrative costs would be enormous(4), since services would no longer be duplicated: we would have only one fire chi, one tax department, one mayor, and so on. And no jobs in city government would be lost—employees could simply be reassigned(5). Most importantly, the merger will undoubtedly attract business investments as it did when the townships of Hamden and North Hamden merged(6,7) ten years ago."

　　Issue210-"Most people choose a career on the basis of such pragmatic considerations as the needs of the economy, the relative ease of finding a job, and the salary they can expect to make. Hardly anyone is free to choose a career based on his or her natural talents or interest in a particular kind of work."

　　Argument26-The following appeared in a memo from the chairperson of the school board in the town of Saluda.

　　Issue 75-"People work more productively in teams than individually. Teamwork requires cooperation, which motivates people much more than individual competition does."

　　Issue218-"In order for any work of art—whether film, literature, sculpture, or a song—to have merit, it must be understandable to most people."

　　Argument 152.The following is a letter to the head of the tourism bureau on the island of Tria.

　　"Erosion of beach sand along the shores of Tria Island is a serious threat to our island and our tourist industry. In order to stop the erosion, we should charge people for using the beaches. Although this solution may annoy a few tourists in the short term, it will reduce the number of people using the beaches and will raise money for replenishing the sand. Replenishing the sand, as was done to protect buildings on the nearby island of Batia, will help protect buildings along our shores, thereby reducing these buildings&apos risk of additional damage from severe storms. And since the areas along the shore will be more attractive as a result, the beaches will be preserved and the area&aposs tourist industry will improve over the long term."
