Number 3:
Las Vegas has too many people. 1 There's not enough water in the desert to support more than a million people. 2 And the infrastructure of the city can't handle more than a million: The streets are overcrowded, and traffic is always congested; the schools are overcrowded, and new ones can't be built fast enough. 4 We should stop migration to the city by tough zoning laws in the city and county. 5
Argument: Yes.
Conclusion: There should be strong zoning law from the city and county to stop people from moving into the city.
Additional premises needed? If the resources and the infrastructure of the city cannot support more than
a million people, then there should not be more than a million people in the city. a
If there are more than a million people in the city. There are too many people. b
Identify any subargument: Sentence 1, 2, 3, and 4 are independent and support the sentence number 1.
Good argument? The argument seem pretty strong if all the premises are true.
This is exercise is useful. It help me break down an argument and analyze if its a good argument. Also look for what is the strong point of the argument and what are the weaknesses and see what the argument need to be a stronger argument.
