ARGUMENT TOPICS:
1. The following is a recommendation from the personnel director to the president of Acme Publishing Company.
"Many other companies have recently stated that having their employees take the Easy Read Speed-Reading Course has greatly improved productivity. One graduate of the course was able to read a five-hundred-page report in only two hours; another graduate rose from an assistant manager to vice president of the company in under a year. Obviously, the faster you can read, the more information you can absorb in a single workday. Moreover, Easy Read costs only $500 per employee — a small price to pay when you consider the benefits to Acme. Included in this fee is a three-week seminar in Spruce City and a lifelong subscription to the Easy Read newsletter. Clearly, Acme would benefit greatly by requiring all of our employees to take the Easy Read course."
2. The following is a recommendation from the business manager of Monarch Books.
"Monarch Books should open a cafe in its store to attract more customers and better compete with Regal Books, which recently opened a cafe. Monarch, which has been in business at the same location for more than twenty years, has a large customer following because it is known for its wide selection of books on all subjects. Opening the cafe would clearly attract more customers. The cafe would require relatively little space. Space could be made for the cafe by discontinuing the children's book section, which will likely become less popular given that the last national census indicated a significant decline in the percent of the population who are under age ten."

ISSUE TOPICS:
1.Most people choose career on latest things happening, hardly anyone choose job on their talent.
2.Most people choose a career on the basis of such pragmatic considerations as the needs of the economy, the relative ease of finding a job, and the salary they can expect to make. Hardly anyone is free to choose a career based on his or her natural talents or interest in a particular kind of work
Argument Topic:
1.The following appeared in a letter to the editor of the Balmer Island Gazette.
"The population of Balmer Island increases to 100,000 during the summer months. To reduce the number of accidents involving mopeds and pedestrians, the town council of Balmer Island should limit the number of mopeds rented by each of the island's six moped and bicycle rental companies from 50 per day to 30 per day during the summer season. By limiting the number of rentals, the town council is sure to attain the 50 percent reduction in moped accidents that was achieved last year in the neighboring island of Torseau, when Torseau's town council enforced similar limits on moped rentals."

By limiting the number of rentals, the town council is sure to attain the 50 percent reduction in moped accidents that was achieved last year in the neighboring island of Torseau, when Torseau's town council enforced similar limits on moped rentals."

ISSUE TOPIC:
1)The primary goal of technological advances should be to provide people with leisure time.
2)Another Issue topic is regarding education pattern.... Whether the education pattern should be same for 1 nation, or should be
different for each state.
ARGUMENT TOPIC:
1. The author of the article claims that wearing helmets in a particular state increased from 20% to 80% in a span of 10 years, but in
the same decade the accident cases increased by 200%. Hence safety regulations should be taught instead of imposing people to
wear helmets.

Issue Topic:
1."It is often necessary, even desirable, for political leaders to withhold information from the public"
2.In order to improve the quality of instruction at the college and university level, all faculty should be required to spend time
working outside the academic world in professions relevant to the courses they teach
Argument Topic:
1.The following appeared in a letter to the editor of a newspaper serving the villages of Castroville and Polluxton.
"Both the villages of Castroville and Polluxton have experienced sharp declines in the numbers of residents who pay property
taxes. To save money and improve service, the two villages recently merged their once separate garbage collection departments
into a single department located in Castroville, and the new department has reported few complaints about its service. Last year
the library in Polluxton had 20 percent fewer users than during the previous year. It follows that we should now further economize
and improve service, as we did with garbage collection, by closing the library in Polluxton and using the library in Castroville to
serve both villages."

1."It is often necessary, even desirable, for political leaders to withhold information from the public"
2.In order to improve the quality of instruction at the college and university level, all faculty should be required to spend time
working outside the academic world in professions relevant to the courses they teach
Argument Topic:
1.The following appeared in a letter to the editor of a newspaper serving the villages of Castroville and Polluxton.
"Both the villages of Castroville and Polluxton have experienced sharp declines in the numbers of residents who pay property
taxes. To save money and improve service, the two villages recently merged their once separate garbage collection departments
into a single department located in Castroville, and the new department has reported few complaints about its service. Last year
the library in Polluxton had 20 percent fewer users than during the previous year. It follows that we should now further economize
and improve service, as we did with garbage collection, by closing the library in Polluxton and using the library in Castroville to
serve both villages."

ARGUMENT TOPICS:
1. The following is a recommendation from the personnel director to the president of Acme Publishing Company.
"Many other companies have recently stated that having their employees take the Easy Read Speed-Reading Course has greatly improved productivity. One graduate of the course was able to read a five-hundred-page report in only two hours; another graduate rose from an assistant manager to vice president of the company in under a year. Obviously, the faster you can read, the more information you can absorb in a single workday. Moreover, Easy Read costs only $500 per employee — a small price to pay when you consider the benefits to Acme. Included in this fee is a three-week seminar in Spruce City and a lifelong subscription to the Easy Read newsletter. Clearly, Acme would benefit greatly by requiring all of our employees to take the Easy Read course."
2. The following is a recommendation from the business manager of Monarch Books.
"Monarch Books should open a cafe in its store to attract more customers and better compete with Regal Books, which recently opened a cafe. Monarch, which has been in business at the same location for more than twenty years, has a large customer following because it is known for its wide selection of books on all subjects. Opening the cafe would clearly attract more customers. The cafe would require relatively little space. Space could be made for the cafe by discontinuing the children's book section, which will likely become less popular given that the last national census indicated a significant decline in the percent of the population who are under age ten."

ISSUE TOPICS:
1.Most people choose career on latest things happening, hardly anyone choose job on their talent.
2.Most people choose a career on the basis of such pragmatic considerations as the needs of the economy, the relative ease of finding a job, and the salary they can expect to make. Hardly anyone is free to choose a career based on his or her natural talents or interest in a particular kind of work
Argument Topic:
1.The following appeared in a letter to the editor of the Balmer Island Gazette.
"The population of Balmer Island increases to 100,000 during the summer months. To reduce the number of accidents involving mopeds and pedestrians, the town council of Balmer Island should limit the number of mopeds rented by each of the island's six moped and bicycle rental companies from 50 per day to 30 per day during the summer season. By limiting the number of rentals, the town council is sure to attain the 50 percent reduction in moped accidents that was achieved last year in the neighboring island of Torseau, when Torseau's town council enforced similar limits on moped rentals."

ISSUE TOPICS:
1.Most people choose career on latest things happening, hardly anyone choose job on their talent.
2.Most people choose a career on the basis of such pragmatic considerations as the needs of the economy, the relative ease of finding a job, and the salary they can expect to make. Hardly anyone is free to choose a career based on his or her natural talents or interest in a particular kind of work
Argument Topic:
1.The following appeared in a letter to the editor of the Balmer Island Gazette.
"The population of Balmer Island increases to 100,000 during the summer months. To reduce the number of accidents involving mopeds and pedestrians, the town council of Balmer Island should limit the number of mopeds rented by each of the island's six moped and bicycle rental companies from 50 per day to 30 per day during the summer season. By limiting the number of rentals, the town council is sure to attain the 50 percent reduction in moped accidents that was achieved last year in the neighboring island of Torseau, when Torseau's town council enforced similar limits on moped rentals."

ISSUE TOPIC:
1)The primary goal of technological advances should be to provide people with leisure time.
2)Another Issue topic is regarding education pattern.... Whether the education pattern should be same for 1 nation, or should be
different for each state.
ARGUMENT TOPIC:
1. The author of the article claims that wearing helmets in a particular state increased from 20% to 80% in a span of 10 years, but in
the same decade the accident cases increased by 200%. Hence safety regulations should be taught instead of imposing people to
wear helmets.

Issue Topic:
1."It is often necessary, even desirable, for political leaders to withhold information from the public"
2.In order to improve the quality of instruction at the college and university level, all faculty should be required to spend time
working outside the academic world in professions relevant to the courses they teach
Argument Topic:
1.The following appeared in a letter to the editor of a newspaper serving the villages of Castroville and Polluxton.
"Both the villages of Castroville and Polluxton have experienced sharp declines in the numbers of residents who pay property
taxes. To save money and improve service, the two villages recently merged their once separate garbage collection departments
into a single department located in Castroville, and the new department has reported few complaints about its service. Last year
the library in Polluxton had 20 percent fewer users than during the previous year. It follows that we should now further economize
and improve service, as we did with garbage collection, by closing the library in Polluxton and using the library in Castroville to
serve both villages."

Issue Topic:
1."It is often necessary, even desirable, for political leaders to withhold information from the public"
2.In order to improve the quality of instruction at the college and university level, all faculty should be required to spend time
working outside the academic world in professions relevant to the courses they teach
Argument Topic:
1.The following appeared in a letter to the editor of a newspaper serving the villages of Castroville and Polluxton.
"Both the villages of Castroville and Polluxton have experienced sharp declines in the numbers of residents who pay property
taxes. To save money and improve service, the two villages recently merged their once separate garbage collection departments
into a single department located in Castroville, and the new department has reported few complaints about its service. Last year
the library in Polluxton had 20 percent fewer users than during the previous year. It follows that we should now further economize
and improve service, as we did with garbage collection, by closing the library in Polluxton and using the library in Castroville to
serve both villages."

Shoot On Sight is an entertaining drama that addresses racism, politics, .. and terrorism.. It isn�t preachy � just fascinating.. But in the end it pays off as a good, old fashioned police thriller
