gre argument 3

[rohit_koc018]

The following appeared as a letter to the editor

from a Central Plaza store owner.

 

"Over the past two years, the number of shoppers

in Central Plaza has been steadily decreasing

while the popularity of skateboarding has increased

dramatically. Many Central Plaza store owners

believe that the decrease in their business

is due to the number of skateboard users in

the plaza. There has also been a dramatic increase

in the amount of litter and vandalism throughout

the plaza. Thus, we recommend that the city prohibit

skateboarding in Central Plaza. If skateboarding

is prohibited here, we predict that business

in Central Plaza will return to its previously

high levels."

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

there is absolutely no relation between skateboarding

and decrease in customers .

          just think isn't skateboarding inside

plaza . isn't that mean skateboarders are also

customers whether they shop are not .ok if we

feel that customers are really only shoppers

then just place a cost on skateboarding per

hour a person or day a person daily ticket

pass or so. this will improve the customers 

at the same time plaza will get profit and also

skateboarders will be happy.

         according to the argument prohibition of

skateboarders causes increase in plaza's profit

but what they cannot realize is it is quite

opposite as if skateboarders are banned as the

shoppers are low already the whole plaza will

be empty or may be even banned as they are the

major customers .

          moreover it is not clear whether skateboarding

is the only aspect or not.whether any other

sports are conducted in that plaza . are the 

same persons coming always.whether the vandalism

is actually caused especially by  skate boards

arenot there any skate parks near by.is the park

occupied by some other player or even other

sports players . 

           i asked the above questions as it is

possible that the skateboarders may be there

but not exactly the cause of vandalism as there

may be other sports people who were causing vandalism

but placing it on the skateboarders which also

means even if we ban skateboarding vandalism

will continue but skateboarder will be sad

if the same people coming always there might

be a chance that they doing it on purpose

causing vandalism and spoiling name of all

skateboarders which is also a fact we should

count in.

            considering above factors we conclude

the decision in the argument.
