Essay - GRE888. The following appeared in a magazine article about planning for retirement. "Because of its spectacular natural beauty and consistent climate, Clearview should be a top choice for anyone seeking a place to retire. As a bonus, housing costs in Clearview have fallen significantly during the past year, and real estate taxes remain lower than those in neighboring towns. Nevertheless, Clearview's mayor promises many new programs to improve schools, streets, and public services. Retirees in Clearview can also expect excellent health care as they grow older, since the number of physicians in the area is far greater than the national average. " Discuss how well reasoned you find this argument.
The statement makes a propaganda for grasping higher customer numbers of those going to retire to make it in Clearview town. According to the article, it has spectacular natural beauty and consistent climate making it top retirement choice. Further more, going with the text, the housing costs have been reduced and taxes remain lower compared to other towns. The third claim from the the argument, Clearview is going to execute a program to develop schools, streets, and public services. And finally the physicians number there is higher than the national average. Thus it is excellent place to retire as the writer thinks. Yet every part of the argument is extemporized and missing strong evidence to credit the conclusion.
The first objection that could be thought is about spectacular natural beauty and consistent climate. Is there any possibility that any other city has more spectacular natural beauty and consistent climate than that of Clearview? Being true, this objection can destroy the argument. The author was required to make a comparison among the twons - including Clearview - and explain the advantages and disadvantages of each city concerning beauty and climate. Then, he can detemine the cities having more and less beauty and climate in a comparative form.
According to the text, secondly, the housing costs have decreased and the taxes remained lower in Clearview than the other cities. The author did not encourage us to believe that claim as he did not mention numbers concerning the housing and taxes for the current and last years. So it is still ambiguous. Also, we do not know about such expenses in the other towns and the author did not tell us. Perhaps there is another place having less housing and taxing costs.
The third claim from the the argument, Clearview is going to execute a program to develop schools, streets, and public services. This itself counter-argues the author conclusion. Because it suggests that Clearview currently has not good education, streets, and public services. So that those are prospective retirees shall not go there. Even, if we consider as a pro-conclusion, what is the time frame for achieving these results? We do not know. Again what about the other attractive retirement towns.
And finally the physicians number there is higher than the national average. Yet, the people who are going to retire do need not only physicians, but also doctors from different disciplines to assure good medical services there. It is obscuring not to have doctors able to treat cancer, or Zahaimer.
In conclusion, the author is making argument for encouraging the prospective retirees to do it in Clearview. Yet, he/she did not give strong reasons and vital evidences to validate his argument and make it sound.
Thanks for passing on.
