Nature's Way, a chain of stores selling health food and other health-related products, is opening its next franchise in the town of Plainsville. The store should prove to be very successful: Nature's Way franchises tend to be most profitable in areas where residents lead healthy lives, and clearly Plainsville is such an area. Plainsville merchants report that sales of running shoes and exercise clothing are at all-time highs. The local health club has more members than ever, and the weight training and aerobics classes are always full. Finally, Plainsville's schoolchildren represent a new generation of potential customers: these schoolchildren are required to participate in a fitness-for-life program, which emphasizes the benefits of regular exercise at an early age. 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. MY RESPONSE Although the paragraphs aims to provide a very compelling argument, its logic is very flawed as the paragraph makes a lot of assumptions with very few evidence. First, the assumption that the health foods store will be successful in an area where a lot of people live healthy lives is based on really vague information. For example, the company states that it sells a lot of health foods and health related goods but these health related goods may not be relevant to the people of Plainsville who mainly focus of physical activity. Also, the emphasizes the relevance of the healthy lifestyle practiced by the residents in the town. However, without a concrete definition for ‘healthy lifestyle’ it is definitely possible to assume that the people of Plainsville may not be interested in health foods. Similarly, the article used the reports from sales of running shoes, exercise clothings and frequent visits to the local health club as a locus of comparison. The problem here lie in the fact that the author is comparing two distinct things that should not be correlated without any empirical evidence. There indeed has to be a strong positive correlation between the residents physical activity level and the degree to which they endorse healthy eating for this assumption to be relevant. Finally, the author seems to ignore a basic fact of life which is that things change. Let’s assume that the current residents of Plainsville endorse healthy eating and are willing to invest in it. Expecting the following generations to be exactly like their predecessors is a farfetched. In such a situation, the argument can only remain true if the grandchildren are duplicates of their parents in the way they endorse lifestyle practices, in the amount of income earned and their willingness to invest in healthy foods. The presence of multiple undefined variables make this argument extremely flawed. To make a better argument, one will have to analyze empirical data for correlations.

Write a response in which you discuss your views on the policy and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider the possible consequences of implementing the policy and explain how these consequences shape your position. MY RESPONSE The ability to offer free education to every person who claims financial hardship is an expensive investment in which the pros and cons must be carefully reviewed. In a situation where the cons greatly outnumber the pro, it is wise to state that the government should not offer free education to every student who attains a university admission. The first issue lies in the problem of regulation. Saying that the government should offer free education to every admitted student with financial hardship sounds almost musical to the ears until you consider the hidden costs of regulation. The question only gets harder: how do you define financial hardship and how do you regulate it? Assuming we found a way around regulation, the statement remains true that nothing ‘free’ is inherently free but is being paid for by someone else. The cost of education in a 4-year program, which is often a lifetimes investment for many Americans, will be an insurmountable cost which will only be shifted to the taxpayers. Also, the concept of a free university education may, unfortunately, lead to the decline of the value of the education system. Basic economics teaches the inverse relationship between the cost of a product and its value. Removing the cost of education will only transfer the value of the proposed degree into the next best thing. A better model which preserves the value of education may be to offer free education based on academic excellence and merit. However, if the system of government moves to a more socialist system in which every member of society is offered a free university education assuming they are able to acquire an admission, the proposed system may be worthwhile. A free education, although it increases taxes, begins to work like a well-oiled machine as it ensures that more people are able to enter the workforce and contribute to the cost of sending other people to school through taxes. In conclusion, the system of sending everyone who attains a college degree to university is flawed because of the costs associated with it, the unavailability of a system to properly regulate and the capitalist model of government in the United States. One may even propose that offering a free education to everyone who claims financial hardship will only create more pandemonium in a flailing nation.
