"Employees should keep their private lives and personal activities as separate as possible from the workplace."

argument 15
The following appeared as part of a newspaper editorial.
"Two tears ago Nova High School began to use interactive computer instruction in three academic subjects. The school dropout rate declined immediately, and last year's graduates have reported some impressive achievements in college. In future budgets the school board should use a greater portion of the available funds to buy more computers, and all schools in the district should adopt interactive computer instruction throughout the curriculum."

“雇员应该保持他们的私人生活和个人行为尽量远离工作场所。”

argument 15.       
报纸社论：
"两年前Nova高中开始在3个科学科目中使用互动计算机指导。学校的退学率立刻下降，而且去年的毕业生在大学取得了一些很不错的成绩。在未来的预算中，校董事会应该在能得到的资金中拨出更大的一块用来购买更多的计算机。而且这一区的所有学校都应该在课程中采用互动计算机指导。"

1) after this because of this
2) all things are equal
3) ungrounded assumption: the sucess in N will result in the success of other schools.

I think that the number of argument u noted is inconsisent with the number of Suyuan 's green paper book.

What kind of book do u use?

agree

1) the company will create the dynamic work enviroment that promotes cooperation and competition without the interference with personal lives,thus contributing to the success of business

example: excessive chatting, romance between employees, frequent personal calls

2) as for employees themselves,  they can avoid unnecessary trouble if not interfereing their own personal lives

example: employee in divorce with his wife

3) admittedly, occasional social activities such as company party and personal communication will foster the friendhsip among employees and enhance the common sense on the goals of the company.

Thanks again for Apan's efforts posting the topics here.

AA 15
This political advertisement is flawed in several aspects:

1. The author unsubstantiatedly assumes that the increase in worker's wages, creation of new jobs as well as the
choice of six corporations to locate their headquaters are the consequce of the leadership of Adams as a governer.

2. The poll cited by the author is described in the vaguest possible term, thereby rendering
the credibility of the poll highly suspected.

3. No evidence is provided in this argument to support the assertion that Zebulon, who has different political
agendas with those of Adams, will lead our state in the wrong direction. It is entirely possible that the
economics will better off under the leadership of Zebulon.

In conclusion, without substantiated evidences to support the claims made in this argument, the advertisement is
nothing more that political rhetorics.

Issue 9

Stance:  I agree that employees shall not let their personal activities impede their productivity and efficiency
in the work place, afterall, the sucess of business are in the best interest of both the employers and employees.
However, blend the daily work with a healthy amount of personal lives will contribute to sustainable development of the business.

Points:

1) Admittedly, it is a reasonble requirement of the employers to ask the employees to keep their personal
activities from thwarting their productivity.

2) However, it is unrealistic to eliminate the personal activities from the workplace, since, employees are,
afterall, human beings with emotions, feelings and assuming familiy responsibilities.

3) A suitable amount of personal activities instilling in the workplace may help boost the morale, promote
collegiality and estable common purpose among the co-workers.  Managers are well advised to monitor whether the
personal activities are under well control in the workplace.
