Argument
The following appeared in the opinion section of a national news magazine:

"To reverse the deterioration of the postal service, the government should raise the price of postage stamps. This solution will no doubt prove effective, since the price increase will generate larger revenues and will also reduce the volume of mail, thereby eliminating the strain on the existing system and contributing to improved morale."

Discuss how well reasoned you find this argument. In your discussion, be sure to analyze the line of reasoning and the use of evidence in the argument. For example, you may need to consider what questionable assumptions underlie the thinking and what alternative explanations or counterexamples might weaken the conclusion. You can also discuss what sort of evidence would strengthen or refute the argument, what changes in the argument would make it more logically sound, and what, if anything, would help you better evaluate its conclusion.

My Answer
The quality of posting service has become a hot topic in today's world. There are those who debate the importance of stamps pricing in quality and those who affirm it, those who assert that high rates for stamps will not necessarily end up in quality of posting system, and those who believe that with higher prices on stamps the posting system can gain more revenue and can improve its quality . In the preceding statement, the author claims that prices of stamps plays a crucial role in rising posting system's revenue and can improve the quality of packages. Though his claim may well have merit, the author presents a poorly reasoned argument, based on several questionable premises and assumptions, and based solely on the evidence the author offers, we cannot accept his argument as valid.
The primary issue with the author's reasoning lies in his unsubstantiated premises. The author asserts that his solution is proved to be effective but he fails to indicate how it's proved. Moreover, the author mistakes higher prices for higher revenues, which we know as prices minus costs. The author's premises, the basis for his argument, lack any legitimate evidentiary support and render his conclusion unacceptable.
In addition, the author makes several assumptions that remain unproven. The author assumes that rates for the stamps will we wind up in less volume of posting packages but he fails to consider that it's not necessarily true. Maybe people will more interested in buying more expensive stamps with the assumption of assuring that their package will be delivered with higher quality. The author weakens his argument by making assumptions and failing to provide explication of the links between rates for stamps and revenue of posting system he assumes exists.
While the author does have several key issues in his argument's premises and assumptions, that is not to say that the entire argument is without base. The author could support his premises with details and examples. He could mention a survey that prove defectiveness of his claim. Moreover, the author could provide evidentiary support for decrease of volume of posting packages as a result of expensive stamps. As a case in point, the could mention a case study in which the quantity of mail packages is actually decreased by increasing the price of stamps. Though there are several issues with the author's reasoning at present, with research and clarification, he could improve his argument significantly.
In sum, the author's illogical argument is based on unsupported premises and unsubstantiated assumptions that render his conclusion invalid. The author fails to provide details and examples for his reasoning. Moreover, he doesn't provide clear explanation for his assumes facts. If the author truly hopes to change his readers' minds on the issue, he would have to largely restructure his argument, fix the flaws in his logic, clearly explicate his assumptions, and provide evidentiary support. Without these things, his poorly reasoned argument will likely convince few people.
