Analytical Writing Assessment: Practice 04 The following appeared in the editorial section of a corporate newsletter: "The common notion that workers are generally apathetic about management issues is false, or at least outdated: a recently published survey indicates that 79 percent of the nearly 1,200 workers who responded to survey questionnaires expressed a high level of interest in the topics of corporate restructuring and redesign of benefits programs." Discuss how well reasoned you find this argument. My response: The author points out that a recently survey indicates that 79% of the surveyed workers showed a high level of interest in the topics of corporate restructuring and redesign of benefits. Thus, the author concludes that workers are generally apathetic about management issues is false or at least outdated. However, I don’t think the author’s reasoning is logical. First of all, corporate restructuring and redesign benefits programs are topics that directly influent workers. The author fails to consider that the workers expressed a high level of interest in these topics may just because these topics are what the workers care about most. In other words, the workers interest in these topics do not mean that they will definitely interest in management issues in general. In addition, the author does not mention the percentage of the workers who responded to survey questionnaires expressed a high level of interest in other topics. A higher percentage of the workers may showed high interest level in other topics, making that management issues the least topics they concern. In conclusion, the author’s argument is not well-reasoned. To strengthen the argument, the author would have to provide additional evidence to support his or her conclusion.
