Author's argument to make 40 hours of charity work mandatory is based
on some assumptions that dictate the validity of the argument. The
argument would turn out to be sound and logical if these assumptions
are proven to support the claim.
The author's suggestion is primarily based on the opinion of some
local residents of the city as citizens agree to the importance of
participation of young people in community service. However, the
number of people agreeing with this argument has not been specified.
If majority of the residents disagree with the author, the argument
tends to lose its meaning. On the contrary, agreement of most of the
local citizens would buttress the claim of the author. Moreover, even
if the most of the citizens agree that students should participate in
community service, this by no means indicate that this should be
imposed on the youth. May be people believe that the urge to do
community service should come from within rather than forcing it
extrinsically. Thus, this opinion would significantly weaken the
author's argument.
Additionally, even if the community service is made mandatory, this
may not make youth realize the importance of giving back to community.
The writer has assumed the psychology of the youth to be naive, as in
his opinion the imposition of the restriction would eventually do good
to them. However, his assumption may turn out to be false, students
might think otherwise, as they may feel vexed with the restrictions
and begin to see the community service a medium to suppress their
freedom.
Another assumption that author relies on is the significant decline of
volunteers in charity organizations. Nonetheless, this information is
inadequate to prove validity of the argument. It may be true that the
youth has migrated from the traditional charity organizations to new
mediums. For example, they may have switched to internet to provide
free tuition classes to needy and poor junior students. The author has
not provided the reason of the decline and assumed the decline
indicates youth's lack of interest and participation in community
service. If this assumption is proven wrong, the whole argument is
rendered meaningless as there would be no problem demanding such a
measure.
In the conclusion, the information on opinion distribution of
citizens, the psychology of youth and the reason as well as nature of
decline in the number of participation of youth in community service
would prove out to be critical for the evaluation of the argument.
