    issue:
    Some people believe that the purpose of education is to free the mind and the spirit.
    Others believe that formal education tends to restrain our minds and spirits rather than set them free.
    argument:
    
  The following recommendation appeared in a memo from the mayor of the town of Hopewell.
    "Two years ago, the nearby town of Ocean View built a new municipal golf course and resort hotel. During the past two years, tourism in Ocean View has increased, new businesses have opened there, and Ocean View's tax revenues have risen by 30 percent. Therefore, the best way to improve Hopewell's economy—and generate additional tax revenues—is to build a golf course and resort hotel similar to those in Ocean View."
    Write a response in which you examine the stated and/or unstated assumptions of the argument. Be sure to explain how the argument depends on these assumptions and what the implications are for the argument if the assumptions prove unwarranted.
