Zorluk: Çok zorStatement and Arguments

Read the following statement and the two arguments that follow:

Statement: Should the state government immediately mandate a complete shift to 100% digital e-governance workflows and abolish paper files across all municipal offices within six months?

Arguments:
I. No, because a rigid six-month deadline in offices lacking adequate digital infrastructure and staff training will cause severe operational bottlenecks and disrupt public service delivery.
II. Yes, because paperless digital administrative workflows systematically reduce file clearance delays and improve governance transparency.

Which of the following evaluations regarding the strength of the arguments is correct?

  1. A
    Only argument I is strong
  2. B
    Only argument II is strong
  3. C
    Neither argument I nor argument II is strong
  4. Both argument I and argument II are strongCevap

Cevap

Both argument I and argument II are strong
The correct evaluation is that both arguments are strong. Argument I raises a crucial practical concern regarding infrastructural readiness, training, and potential disruption to essential services under an aggressive deadline. Argument II presents a well-founded systemic advantage of digital workflows regarding transparency and efficiency. Both arguments directly pertain to the feasibility and objective of the proposed policy mandate.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the core issue of the statement
The statement proposes a mandatory 100% digital e-governance transition across municipal offices within a tight 6-month timeframe.
Evaluating an argument requires identifying the key decision variable, which includes both the goal (digital workflows) and the conditions (six-month timeline).
2
Evaluate Argument I for relevance, logic, and realistic impact
Argument I is strong.
It addresses the realistic administrative consequences of implementing a radical policy change without adequate infrastructure or trained personnel in a short duration, directly pointing to public service disruption.
3
Evaluate Argument II for relevance, logic, and realistic impact
Argument II is strong.
It presents a fundamental, proven benefit of e-governance (efficiency and transparency) that directly justifies why digital transformation is desirable.
4
Synthesize evaluations to select the correct choice
Since both arguments touch upon vital, non-trivial aspects (implementation feasibility vs. policy merit), both arguments are logically sound and strong.
Strong arguments do not need to agree; they simply need to be relevant, logical, and meaningful to the decision-making process.
