Argument Essay 10:The report which appeared in the newsletter of the GoldenAge and Assisted Living Facilities

The report which appeared in the newsletter of the GoldenAge and Assisted Living Facilities for senior’s states that according to a 21 year study led by the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and funded by the National Institute on Aging, a novel therapy has been introduced which decreases the incidence of dementia in our aging community. It states that only frequent dancing can prevent seniors from dementia. Therefore it is suggested the social dance programs at all GoldenAge senior residences must  be established so as to make it cost effective way to ward off demential and enable residents to remain in their independent living quaters. Otherwise it would be costly to operate assisted living quarters.

The author provides a range of evidences in order to prove that the establishment of the dance social dance programs at the GoldenAge senior residences. However close consideration of the above arguments seems less convincing based on the following points.

First of all the author does not clearly depict whether the seniors of the GoldenAge have severe dementia. There is possibility that the effect has existed for only few days. He does not clearly mention how much of the population of GoldenAge have the issue and for how long did it existed. If only few people face the problem than setting a social dance program would possibly be more costly than shifting them to the operate assisted living quarters.

Secondly, the author has not properly explained how the setting of a social dance program would be more cost effective. The area in which the GoldenAge exist may have very less resources due to which it may become more costly to send the few people o the assisted living quarters.

There is possibility that if the GoldenAge Independent establishes the dance program will not be used by them in the later years. It depends upon the taste of the people which will decide whether it will be costly or not.

One more thing which is very obscure is that, the GoldenAge has every possible opportunity other than the dance facility. Which reveals that people may not have dementia for the last 21 years, if they had dementia for the last 21 years than they had established a social dance program?

Concluding, the report lack some logic due to which it is not convincing, therefore GoldenAge Independent needs to do more scholarship whether to establish a social dance program or not.
