Educator: It has been argued that our professional organization should make decisions about important issues—such as raising dues and taking political stands—by a direct vote of all members rather than by having members vote for officers who in turn make the decisions. ████ █████ ████ ████████ ██ ███ █████ ███ ██ ██████ █████ ████████ ███ ███ ████ ██ ███ █████ ██████████ ██ ████ ████ ██████ ██ █████████ ██████████████ ██████ ██ ███████████ ███ ████████ ██ ██ ███████ ████ ██ ███████████ ███ ██████ ██ █ ██████ ████ ██ █ ██████ ██████
Summary
The educator’s organization should make decisions by electing officers to represent them, rather than through a direct vote. Why would electing officers be better? It would give each member more influence over the decisions being made.
Notable Assumptions
The educator concludes that members should vote on officers to make decisions, but her only support is that this would allow each member to have more influence over the decisions being made. We don’t know how much influence each member should have, however, so the author is assuming each member ought to have significant influence over these decisions.
The right answer will bridge this gap by establishing that the organization should, in fact, give its members much influence over decision-making.
