Suppose there is a policy debate over imposing trade restrictions on imported semiconductors in the United States. A political p

undit argues that the government should impose a tariff on semiconductors, because they are a necessary input into the production of various weapons. Free trade would make the United States overly dependent on foreign countries for the supply of semiconductors. In case of a war, the United States might not be able to make or purchase enough of them and would therefore not be able to make enough weapons to defend itself. What argument is the pundit using to justify the trade restriction on semiconductors?

Answer: The pundit is using a NATIONAL DEFENSE ARGUMENT to justify the trade restriction.

Explanation: National defense argument is when someone is using the security of the nation to defend his argument, to be very important as the security of the nation is very important.

This type of argument always tends to use the fallacy of red herring to convince his audience about his argument. The argument sounds to be important as it used red herring to relate it's point to the security of the nation during wartime.

The pundit politician has used the fallacy of red herring to relate it's reason of increment in the tariff of semiconductor importation, to the security of the nation during war times. Therefore this is a national security argument.

Answer:

National defense argument

Explanation:

The National defense argument is an argument used to defend tariffs placed on the importation of goods and services used for the production of weapons of warfare. this argument is usually made in favor of a locally based industry producing the same goods which import tariffs are placed on.

This argument defends the fact that products used for producing war equipment should be locally produced to avoid over reliance on foreign firms when the country needs to provide weapons for the defense of the country. and also the goods are better monitored and regulated when produced locally making the country less dependent on foreign firms in general.

STatiana [176]

The polling strategy that was used in the 2016 Presidential primary in South Carolina was called a <em>push poll. </em>

Explanation:

This type of polling that was used is when candidates intentionally manipulate the public by using questions that are questionable. They do this by push polling citizens in the state by calling the poll an "opinion poll."

This is a negative way to campaign by using negative questions about the opponent. The pollers also will ask leading questions to get the answers they may otherwise would not of gotten.

Push polls are used in Presidential elections the most, but are used in other elections as well. The American Association for Public Opinion Research has rejected this type of polling.

Read the sample student claim. Many people claim that cell phones are unsafe and that the damage they cause has yet to be reveal
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

a. certain types of cancers take twenty to thirty years to develop, and cell phone studies have only been monitoring this potential connection for ten years or less.

Explanation:

<u>This statement explains how we can't for the sure claim there are more benefits off the cell phone because the studies of the health effects have not been going on for long enough for us to prove that.</u>

<u>The damage is yet to be revealed, as stated in the claim, but it can be of great influence if proven that cell phones are connected to the development of cancer.</u>

<u>The B statement</u> does not add anything to the first claim and does not contradict it, as it just gives information about phone history usage and not the health benefits or risks.

<u>The C statement </u>is not counterclaiming as it adds up to the mentioned benefits - it explains how cell phones are helping life in general and do not refer to the statement about health risks.

<u>The D statement </u>mentions claims by agencies that are not health-based, and also supports the first statement, saying how there are no links to cancer development so far. It actually only goes with the original statement, and the A statement is counterclaim for it as well.
