Trade Unions

by anksgupta » Tue May 26, 2009 8:53 am
Sven: Trade unions are traditionally regarded by governments and economists as restraints of trade, working against the complete freedom of the economy, but I believe that unions are indispensable since they are often the worker’s only protection against exploitation.
Ravi: I don’t agree. The exploitation of the workers and their work is a normal part of ordinary trade just like the exploitation of natural or other material resources.
Sven and Ravi will not be able to resolve their disagreement logically unless they
(A) define a key term
(B) rely on the opinions of established authorities
(C) question an unproved premise
(D) present supporting data
(E) distinguish fact from opinion

would go for A.

Sven and Ravi use the term "exploitation" in two different ways

Sven uses it in the sense of maltreatment.
Ravi uses it in the sense of utilization of resources
so, unless they reconcile their definition of the term "exploitation" they will not be able to resolve the debate

I'm pretty confident that A is correct answer.
