Dillworth: More and more people are deciding not to have children
because of the personal and economic sacrifices children require
and because so often children are ungrateful for the considerable
sacrifices their parents do make for them: However, such
considerations have no bearing on the fact that their children
provide the best chance most people have of ensuring that their
values live on after them. Therefore, for anyone with deeply held
values, foregoing parenthood out of reluctance to make sacrifices
for which little gratitude can be expected would probably be a
mistake.
Travers: Your reasoning ignores another fact that deserves
consideration children's ingratitude for parental sacrifices
usually stems from a wholesale rejection of parental values.
18. Dillworth employs which one of the following argumentative
strategies?
(A) showing that considerations cited as drawbacks to given
course of action are not really drawbacks at all
(B) exposing as morally suspect the motives of people who would
make the choice that Dillworth rejects
(C) indirectly establishing that a given course of action is
obligatory by arguing that the alternative course of action is
prohibited
(D) distinguishing a category of person for whom the reason
presented in favor of a given course of action is more telling
than the reasons cited against that course of action
(E) using evidence that a certain course of action would be
appropriate under one set of conditions to arrive at a general
conclusion about what would be appropriate in all cases.
19. The point of Travers' rejoinder to Dillworth's argument is
that
(A) Dillowrth's assumption that children acquire values only from
their parents is mistaken
(B) it is a mistake to dismiss as irrelevant the personal and
economic sacrifices people are called on to make for the sake of
their children
(C) Dillworth has overlooked the well-known fact that people with
deeply held values not infrequently reject opposing values that
are deeply held by others.
(D) the desire to perpetuate their values should not be a factor
in people's decision to have children
(E) the fact that children are often ungrateful for parental
sacrifices is not irrelevant to deciding whether to have children
in order to perpetuate one's values |
