Pros and Cons

Manali Oak wrote an article on The Pros and Cons of Immigration. The premise of this article seems like it would be a detailed article taking the two sides of an immigration argument and pointing out the pros and cons of both. Instead, Manali Oak takes each issue and sums it up in one paragraph before moving on to the next issue. He just states his opinion without even giving any examples or details of why he thinks that way. For example the article says, “Immigration leads to an exchange of cultural values” (par. 3). After he states this belief, he goes right on talk about how immigration allows for new career options without explaining why he thinks that way. The entire article is just Manali Oak stating all of his opinions without giving the reader any reason to believe him. After he tells us what he believes are all the pros and cons of immigration he ends with, “Thus we see that while immigration can lead to an opportunity for a blend of cultures, it can also lead to an imbalance in the natural wealth” (par. 12). By instantly assuming that his readers will agree with him, Manali Oak assumes that most people will be just willing to trust everything he says. He doesn’t think that most readers are intelligent enough to want proof for why they should believe. He doesn’t even allow for the thought that he might be wrong.
