Sven: Trade unions are traditionally regarded by governments and econo [#permalink]

Kudos
Sven: Trade unions are traditionally regarded by governments and economists as restraints of trade, working against the complete freedom of the economy, but I believe that unions are indispensable since they are often the worker’s only protection against exploitation.

Ravi: I don’t agree. The exploitation of the workers and their work is a normal part of ordinary trade just like the exploitation of natural or other material resources.

Sven and Ravi will not be able to resolve their disagreement logically unless they


Pre-thinking

What comes to my mind at first is that we cannot compare natural or other material resources with humans in terms of exploitation. Plus exploitation in terms of humans is usually seen in a negative way while exploitation in terms of natural or other material resources is seen without the negative side.

POE:

(A) define a key term
Yes, from the argument the ambiguous term is exploitation

(B) rely on the opinions of established authorities
out of scope

(C) question an unproved premise
out of scope

(D) present supporting data
not neccessary

(E) distinguish fact from opinion
out of scope
