national park no fee
Argumentative Analysis?
The country Maria, which charges fees for the use of national parks, reports little evidence of environmental damage. This strongly suggests that for the country Illium, the best way to preserve public lands is to charge people more money when they are using national parks and wilderness areas for activities with heavy environmental impact. By collecting fees from those people who overuse public lands, Illium will help preserve those lands for present and future generations.
What are the flaws in this statement? (i.e. geographic, demographic, different types of activities could be done, etc.)
The biggest flaw is that there is no evidence of charging fees causing lessened environmental damage, merely that those two conditions happen to coexist in this case.
Second, even if it did work in Maria, there isn’t assured that it would work in Illium. This could result from differences in demographics, landscape, mindsets, or other factors that define these two countries.
