　　issue16-"Although many people think that the luxuries and conveniences of contemporary life are entirely harmless, in fact, they actually prevent people from developing into truly strong and independent individuals."

　　issue122-"We owe almost all our knowledge not to people who have agreed, but to people who have disagreed."

　　argument149-The following is a memorandum from the director of personnel to the president of Get-Away Airlines.

　　"Since our mechanics are responsible for inspecting and maintaining our aircraft, Get-Away Airlines should pay to send them to the Quality-Care Seminar, a two-week seminar on proper maintenance procedures. I recommend this seminar because it is likely to be a wise investment, given that the automobile racing industry recently reported that the performance of its maintenance crews improved markedly after their crews had attended the seminar. These maintenance crews perform many of the same functions as do our mechanics, including rueling and repairing engines. The money we spend on sending our staff to the seminar will inevitably lead to improved maintenance and thus to greater customer satisfaction along with greater profits for our airline."

　　issue56-"Governments should focus more on solving the immediate problems of today rather than trying to solve the anticipated problems of the future.

　　issue64-Many people know how to attain success, but few know how to make the best use of it.

　　Argument53-Thirteen years ago, researchers studied a group of 25 infants who showed signs of mild distress when exposed to unfamiliar stimuli such as an unusual odor or a tape recording of an unknown voice. They discovered that these infants were more likely than other infants to have been conceived in early autumn, a time when their mothers&apos production of melatonin—a hormone known to affect some brain functions—would naturally increase in response to decreased daylight. In a follow-up study conducted earlier this year, more than half of these children—now teenagers—who had shown signs of distress identified themselves as shy. Clearly, increased levels of melatonin bore birth cause shyness during infancy and this shyness continues into later life.

　　Argument15-The following appeared in a newsletter offering advice to investors.

　　"Over 80 percent of the respondents to a recent survey indicated a desire to reduce their intake of foods containing fats and cholesterol, and today low-fat products abound in many food stores. Since many of the food products currently marketed by Old Dairy Industries are high in fat and cholesterol, the company&aposs sales are likely to diminish greatly and their profits will no doubt decrease. We therore advise Old Dairy stockholders to sell their shares and other investors not to purchase stock in this company."

　　Issue17-"There are two types of laws: just and unjust. Every individual in a society has a responsibility to obey just laws and, even more importantly, to disobey and resist unjust laws."

　　69-"Government should place few, if any, restrictions on scientific research and development"

　　Argument233-The following appeared in a memo from the vice president of a company that builds shopping malls throughout the country.

　　"The surface of a section of Route 101, paved two years ago by McAdam Road Builders, is now badly cracked and marred by dangerous potholes. In another part of the state, a section of Route 66, paved by Appian Roadways more than four years ago, is still in good condition. Appian Roadways has recently purchased state-of-the-art paving machinery, and it has hired a new quality-control manager. Because of its superior work and commitment to quality, we should contract with Appian Roadways rather than McAdam Road Builders to construct the access roads for all our new shopping malls."

　　153-Students should bring a certain skepticism to whatever they study. They should question what they are taught instead of accepting it passively.

　　Argument208-The following appeared in a memorandum from the planningdepartment of an electric power company.

　　"Several recent surveys indicate thathomeowners are increasingly eager to conserve energy and manufacturers arenow marketing many home appliances, such as rrigerators and air conditioners,that are almost twice as energy-ficient as those sold a decade ago. Also, newtechnologies for better home insulation and passive solar heating arereadily available to reduce the energy needed for home heating. Therore, we anticipate that the totaldemand for electricity in our area will not increase, and may declineslightly. Since our three electric generating plants in operation for thepast 20 years have always met our needs, construction of new generating plantsshould not be necessary."
