The Automation Paradox

Analyse Claim & Evidence

Analyse Claim & Evidence

In an argument, a claim is the writer’s position, or opinion, on an issue. Recall the difference between facts and opinions.

  • A fact is a statement that can be proved, or verified. However, different people may interpret the same fact in different ways.

  • An opinion is a statement that cannot be proved because it expresses a person’s beliefs, feelings, or thoughts.

A strong argument clearly and logically lays out a claim, reasons to accept the claim, and sufficient evidence—relevant facts, statistics, quotations, examples, and expert opinions—to support those reasons.

Analyse Graphic Features

Analyse Graphic Features

A graphic feature is a design element such as a diagram, bar graph, or pie chart that visually represents information. Authors often use graphic features to show patterns and relationships between facts. As you read “The Automation Paradox,” examine each graphic feature to see what it emphasizes. Ask yourself the following questions about each graphic feature:

  • What information or evidence does the graph provide? What is the author’s purpose, or reason, for including this visual?

  • What conclusions can be drawn based on the information in the graph?

Compare Arguments

When you compare arguments, you identify similarities and differences between the writers’ claims, reasons, and evidence.

Once you have reviewed “Heads Up, Humans” and “The Automation Paradox” to compare the arguments, read carefully to identify each writer’s central idea and the facts and interpretations used to support it. Identify where the texts disagree on matters of fact and interpretation.
