Sagot :

Answer:

Refer to the following information for the argumentative text analysis.

Explanation:

Title: Vaccine mandate: Consider more incentives than disincentives (Manila Bulletin)

Main Argument:

  • Despite NCR’s having more than 70% target population vaccinated, there are still members of the population who does not want to get vaccinated and the governments incentives/disincentives proposal has its challenges and advantages.

Pros:

  • Highlight incentives more in the form of freedom of mobility for those vaccinated.
  • Have synergy between public and private sector in giving incentives to vaccinated citizens.

Cons:  

  • Disincentivizing may only work for s short period, but would lead to people feeling alienated because they do not want to be vaccinated.
  • Disincentivizing may be useless as there is weak reinforcement in the government system.

The writer ended by encouraging everyone to do their part to reach herd immunity.

The writer used the following in his writing.

  • Modals:  Should (to indicate the need)
  • Evaluative word:  Disincentivize (used several times to emphasize the difference between government proposal); futile (used to indicate lack of effect)
  • Transitional devices:  This early (indicates pressing time)
