“The parents has to pass a course and take an exam in order to have a child” Summary argumentation Pro They are basically saying that the education of the child is the most important thing, because they are the future, so the parents have to know how manage that education, with courses, exams… They put as an example the adoption parents, people that wait for a year until they have their child, also they came up with a statistic about that the 80% of the child that receive abuse, are because of their parents. Validity of argumentation Pro They always mention a lot of arguments, saying from where they take it out, so we can say that the validity in terms of veracity are good. In spite of this my opinion is that some of the arguments that they say as “the 80% of the child that receive abuse are from their biological parents”, I think that is not something that can proof that the test make the adoption parents more capable and less aggressive with their children. Evaluation quality of sources Pro Almost all the sources that they use, are from statistics centers in the USA, or sentences that someone says, so the quality is good. Summary argumentation Contra The primary argument that the contra side said was that “no one can prove that the test is works” that means you can say with a 100% of security that a person that pass the test, can be a good parent. The other argument was that you can’t control the number of births that someone is going to have, and neither can you say that someone can have a children or not. Validity of argumentation Contra I strongly feel that all the argumentation of the contra side, are really logic (even they didn’t support their argumentation usually with official sources) so the validity of them was always high.
Evaluation quality of sources Contra
They say that the 50% of the births are from people that doesn’t intend it as the unique argument that you can check with some sources.
