The MegaTekCorporation’s vice president of marketing made the following statement to the company’s board of directors:
MegaTek has been losing market share to UltraCorp for three years straight.Customer surveys suggest that consumers perceive UltraCorp products to be of higher quality than those produced by MegaTek. MegaTek spends more annually on research and development than UltraCorp does, and it pays its employees a higher average salary, so we do not believe that our products are actually inferior; rather, the perception is due to the fact that UltraCorp charges higher prices and spends more money on advertising. In order to regain the lost market share from UltraCorp, MegaTek should raise its prices and devote more money to advertising.
Discuss how well reasoned you find this argument. In your discussion, be sure to analyze the line of reasoning and the use of evidence in the argument. For example, you may need to consider what questionable assumptions underlie the thinking and what alternative examples or counterexamples might weaken the conclusion. You can also discuss what sort of evidence would strengthen or refute the argument, what changes in the argument would make it more logically sound, and what, if anything, would help you better evaluate its conclusion.

James Joyce revolutionized the novel, the short story, and modern literature as we know it. He was born inDublin, the first of 10 children in aCatholic family. His father was a civil servant whose poor financial judgment left the family impoverished for much of Joyce’s youth. Young James attendedDublin’s fine Jesuit schools, which gave him a firm grounding in theology and classical languages--subjects that appeared repeatedly in his later work. The story of his early life and his intellectual rebellion againstCatholicism and Irish nationalism are told in the largely autobiographical novelA、Portrait of theArtist as a Young Man.
In 1902, at the age of 20, Joyce leftDublin to spend the rest of his life in Paris, Trieste, Rome, and Zurich, with only occasional visits back home.Despite this self-imposed exile,Dublin was the setting for most of his writings.Dubliners (1914), Joyce’s most accessible work, is a collection of short stories describing the paralyzing social mores of middle-classCatholic life. "TheDead," the final story in the collection, is frequently listed as one of the finest short stories ever written.
Joyce’s next book, Ulysses, took seven years to write; once he finished writing it, he almost couldn’t find anyone to publish it. Upon the novel’s publication, both Ireland and the United States immediately banned it as obscene.Despite these obstacles, Ulysses has come to be generally recognized as the greatest twentieth-century novel written inEnglish. The novel was revolutionary in many ways. The structure was unique: Joyce recreated one rill day in the life of his protagonist, LeopoldBloom, and modeled the actions of the story on those of Ulysses in the Odyssey. In recountingBloom’s day, Joyce mentions everything that happens toBloom--including thoughts, bodily functions, and sexual acts--providing a level of physical actuality that had never before been achieved in literature. To provide a psychological insight comparable to the physical detail, Joyce employed a then-revolutionary technique called stream of consciousness, in which the protagonist’s thoughts are laid bare to the reader.
From 1922 until 1939, joyce worked on a vast, experimental novel that eventually became known as Finnegan’s Wake. The novel, which recounts "the history of the world" through a family’s dreams, employs its own "night language" of puns, foreign words, and literary allusions. It has no clear chronology or plot, and it begins and ends on incomplete sentences that flow into each other. Many of Joyce’s supporters thought he was wasting his time on the project, although the playwright SamuelBeckett, who later won the Nobel Prize for Literature, helped Joyce compile the final text when his eyesight was failing. Today, Finnegan’s Wake is viewed as Joyce’s most obscure and possibly most
Which of the following can be inferred about Joyce’s attitude towardCatholicism as practiced in Ireland at the end of the nineteenth century
A、He felt that it repressed intellectual freedom and individual expression.
B、He viewed it as the central component of the Irish national psyche.
C、He feared that it was impeding the Irish nationalist movement.
D、He felt that it forced him to leaveDublin for Paris, Trieste, Rome, and Zurich.
