“The common notion that workers are generally apathetic about management issues is false, or at least outdated: a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.The argument states that workers of certain coporate are generally apathetic about management issues is false or at least outdated by mentioning a certain survey which indicates that 79 percent of the nearly 1200 workers respond a high level of interest in the topics of coporate restructuring and redesign of benefits programs . The conclusion of the argument relies on assumptions for which there is no clear evidence. Hence, the argument is weak/unconvincing and has several flaws.
Firstly, argument says that workers show high level of interest in the topics of corporate restructuring and redesign of benefits
Programs , it is not a clear evidence for claim that workers are generally apathetic about management issues is false. May be workers are interested in restructuring due to its points of benefit which will directly influence workers salary or accommodations but not due to the point that it concern about coporate issues.
Secondly, argument support its claim by giving evidence of some survey which indicates that 79 percent of the nearly 1200 workers respond a high level of interest in the topics of coporate restructuring and redesign of benefits programs. The survey represents response of some 1200 workers which collectively may be a small proportion of coporation. So, survey may not be a strong claim of all workers of coporation.
Finally, survey may not be a true representation of what workers want . It is possible that survey is conducted by some specific group of commite or by some baised members. Or it is quiet possible that the survey was conducted among some the specific group of workers.
In conclusion, the argument is flawed for the above-mentioned reasons and is therefore unconvincing. It could be considerably strengthened if the author clearly mentioned all the relevant facts. Some more reliable evidence must be added to make argument more sound and more appealing. Without this information, the argument remains unsubstantiated and open to debate.
