PrepTest 124 - Section 1 - Question 14

Show summary

It has been suggested that a television set should be thought of as nothing more than "a toaster with pictures" and that since we let market forces determine the design of kitchen appliances we can let them determine what is seen on television. ███ ████ ████████ ██ ███ ███████ ████ ████████████ ███████ ██ ███████ █████ ██████████ ██ ██ █████████ ███████████ ███ ███████████ ██ ██ █ █████ ██████ ██ ██████████ ██████████████ ██ █████ ██ █████████ █████████ ████ ███████ ██ ██ ███ ███████ ██████ ███████ █████ ████ ██████ ██████ ███████████ █████ ███████ ████████ ██ ██ █ ███████████ ████████ █████ ██ ████ ██ ███ ███████ ████ ██ ██ ██ ███ ████ ████ ████ █████ █ ████

Summarize Argument: Counter-Position

The author refutes the idea that market forces should determine the design of televisions, saying that it is too simple. Instead of market forces alone, some government control needs to be involved. Why? Television is important culturally and politically. Why? It is a major source of entertainment, the main source for many voters about current affairs, and it is on in the average home for more than 5 hours per day.

Identify Argument Part

This is a sub-conclusion. It supports the main conclusion that market forces alone are too simple, and that government control is needed. It is supported by the premises that follow it, which demonstrate exactly why it is politically and culturally important.
