Question

While attending a town hall meeting, you hear someone from a national energy company argue that a new natural-gas drill site will not be environmentally damaging and will produce many jobs in the community. Which aspect should you most consider when listening to this position?

Answer 1

I would listen to the environmental aspect.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are plenty of jobs available, if you are considering working at a drill site, it wouldn't be much different to working at a recycling plant. The guy is lying about it not being damaging

Answer 2

The thing you have to consider is the existence of a biased argument.

Step-by-step explanation:

The gas company representative is presenting a biased argument that only supports the company's interests. You might think that the rep is being paid to achieve the company's goals, so he or she may be using false and biased information just to convince you. For this reason, ideally, before you enter into a partnership with the sw gas company, you research what the true environmental impact will be caused by the company so that you can make the necessary decisions based on non-biased information.
