Question

While attending a town hall meeting, you hear someone from a national energy company argue that a new natural-gas drill site will not be environmentally damaging and will produce many jobs in the community. Which aspect should you most consider when listening to this position?

Answer 1

how is it not environmental damaging? study's have shown that drill sites damage the area that they are drilling, and may cause earthquakes. the person talking would have to answer that.

How will it benefit us? what kind of jobs are being created? is it safe, useful, and would it benefit the town economy?

these are just a few questions that should be considered and answered by that person

hope this helps

Answer 2

Answer

The aspect of Bias Idea.

Explanation

Those who are biased tend to believe what they want to believe thus they dont put  other peoples opinions  into consideration. Generally people who re biased have inclination  towards their thinking often based on how they are raised. So when  you hear someone from a national energy company argue that a new natural-gas drill site will not be environmentally damaging and will produce many jobs in the community this aspect is in a view of bias idea. You should most definitely consider the bias of this person's claim.  He or she makes a living off of natural gas drilling, and is therefore likely to hide certain facts for their own personal gain. This makes him stand to his opinion that the gas will not harm the environment which is not true. This is because he/she is after his/her own benefits.
