Issue:
Claim:Governments must ensure that their major cities receive the financial supportthey need in order to thrive.
Reason: It is primarily in cities that a nation's cultural traditions arepreserved and generated.(5)
Argument:
46 The following appeared in a health magazinepublished in Corpora.
"Medical experts say that only one-quarter ofCorpora's citizens meet the current standards for adequate physical fitness,even though twenty years ago, one-half of all of Corpora's citizens met thestandards as then defined. But these experts are mistaken when they suggestthat spending too much time using computers has caused a decline in fitness.Since overall fitness levels are highest in regions of Corpora where levels ofcomputer ownership are also highest, it is clear that using computers has notmade citizens less physically fit. Instead, as shown by this year's unusuallylow expenditures on fitness-related products and services, the recent declinein the economy is most likely the cause, and fitness levels will improve whenthe economy does."
