GRE : Analyze An Argument - 9

The following appeared in a memo from the director of student housing at Buckingham College.
"To serve the housing needs of our students, Buckingham College should build a number of new dormitories. Buckingham's enrollment is growing and, based on current trends, will double over the next 50 years, thus making existing dormitory space inadequate. Moreover, the average rent for an apartment in our town has risen in recent years. Consequently, students will find it increasingly difficult to afford off-campus housing. Finally, attractive new dormitories would make prospective students more likely to enroll at Buckingham."

Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.

GRE : Analyze An Issue - 2

Analyze an Issue.
To understand the most important characteristics of a society, one must study its major cities.

Cities are integral part of a society, but in order to study characteristics of a region we have to bring other sub urban areas & villages within our purview of study. In the modern era, the cities are densely populated and major economical & political activities of a nation occur in cities. But we cannot ignore the fact the major part of the population of any nation resides in the non urban areas which act as a life sustaining systems for cities. Also the social life of major cities may be highly affected by other societies, for example impact of western cultures in eastern societies. Thus, the major cities may not reflect true nature of the society. In the medieval times some of the well known societies were known by their cities such as Rome & Athens, but those cities were also not self sufficient in every respect. Such cities usually depended on resources & labor force migrated from villages. In ancient times when man relied mainly on food gathering and hunting, there were no cities but we cannot refute the fact that they lived in a primitive form of society.

There is no doubt that the we are becoming more and more reliant on the use of technology, but whether the dependence is affecting our ability to think or perform is a hot topic for debate.
