NeAT scheme to help vulnerable

When preparing your argument, you need to establish [a] what is a vulnerable person? what are the needs of vulnerable people? and [c] why it is something about which society should be concerned.

If you are on the "con" side, then your argument will be that we should not be concerned about vunerable persons in our society.

i want to emphasize one thing,,,i am talking about in Canada..i got some ideas. can i talk about the economy in canada, and the help to vunerable has already been enough/excess..do you think i can argue at these points..

 

[Anglika]

You can. You might also argue that "vulnerable people" need to learn how to manage and that "vulnerability" can be encouraged by over-caring.


The reason for establishing the "pro" arguments is so that you can identify the "con" ones.
