Zorluk: OrtaStatement and Arguments

Given below is a statement followed by two arguments numbered I and II. Evaluate the arguments in the context of public administration and governance policy:

Statement: Should municipal corporations introduce automated digital attendance tracking systems for urban sanitation workers?

Arguments:
I. Yes; automated tracking reduces absenteeism, minimizes payroll leakages, and ensures consistent public sanitation coverage.
II. No; the deployment of any digital technology in public management inherently degrades worker dignity and must be banned across all government departments.

Which of the following choices correctly identifies the strength of the given arguments?

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

Cevap

Only argument I is strong
The correct response identifies that Argument I is strong because it presents realistic administrative benefits—such as reducing payroll leakage and improving workforce accountability—directly stemming from the proposed policy. Conversely, Argument II is weak because it uses an extreme and unsupported generalization against all technology in public administration.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze Argument I for relevance, logic, and operational feasibility.
Argument I logically connects automated attendance tracking with reduced absenteeism, lower financial leakage, and better sanitation outcomes, making it a strong argument.
A strong argument must be directly related to the statement and supported by sound administrative rationale.
2
Analyze Argument II for logical fallacies or extreme generalizations.
Argument II makes a sweeping claim that all digital technology violates worker dignity and demands an absolute ban, which is a weak, extreme administrative assertion.
Arguments that rely on extreme generalizations, emotional hyperbole, or absolute bans without balanced reasoning are weak.
3
Synthesize the evaluations to select the correct choice.
Only Argument I meets the criteria of a strong argument, while Argument II is logically weak.
The valid conclusion requires selecting the option indicating that only the first argument is strong.
