Blog entry on Reflection on Group Activity

My group played the role of manufacturer on the class debate on Wednesday.
Our claim towards the topic is to ask government to subsidize the high cost of waste management. Our argument focus primarily on the economic issue of manufacturing and is directed towards the government requesting them to provide funding and assistance for our research and development sector.

The strength we had in our arguement, is that we are concise in our presentation. We are able to bring our argument clearly toward the audience.
However,the weaknesses we had in our argument is that no evidence or statistics are present to further support our stand. Also, we are unable to foresee all incoming counter claim and rebuttal from our opposing teams, namely the government and the environmentalist.

I believe to bring about a better argument, my group will have to find evidence and statistics to support our data. Not only so, we have to brainstorm and research on more area of discussion and not just limit ourselves to the economic issues. Last but not least, we must on the other side reason more in order to achieve a balance in our argument.
