Show summary

Kris: Years ago, the chemical industry claimed that technological progress cannot occur without pollution. ██████ ██ ███ ████ ██ █████████████ █████████ ███ ████████ █████ ████████ ████████████ ███ ████████ █ ███████ ████ ██████ █████████████ █████████ ██ ███ ████ ██ ███████ ██████ ███ ████ █████████████ ██ ██████ ███████ ████████ ███ ████████ ████████ ████ ██ ██████████ ████ ██ ███ ████████ ████████ ██ ███ ██████████

Summarize Argument: Counter-Position

Terry concludes that Kris is “absurd” to claim that the cellular industry must be regulated the same way as the chemical industry because they both produce a form of pollution. Terry supports this position by claiming that chemical pollution is more harmful than the noise pollution produced by cell phones.

Describe Method of Reasoning

Terry counters Kris’s argument by rejecting Kris’s analogy. Kris claims that two industries should be similarly regulated by analogizing their harmful consequences, and Terry counters by claiming that the harms presented by Kris as analogous are very different in severity.
