6 Formula Kerjaya Impian

The article is about problems faced by the fresh graduates after they had finished their studies. The writer shares some tips on how to achieve the dreamed professions. It offers a lot of information but, we do not know whether the ideas are relevant or not. It is because the writer does not give any evidence or fact to support the proposed ideas. Firstly, it is clearly shown that the article has the appeal to traditional. For example, in the sentence “memang sudah menjadi lumrah hanya sebilangan kecil graduan saja yang akan dapat mencapai kerjaya impian mereka”, the author does not provide any statistic that can support the statement.

 Besides that, there is also a use of appeal to ignorance. In the article, it is stated that “PNGK yang rendah akan menjadikan diploma atau ijazah graduan kurang bernilai di pasaran pekerjaan”. Common people might think that the statement is true, but the validity of the statement remains to be questionable. The firmness of the statement is not concrete enough due to the absence of required fact.

In conclusion, I believe that the article is relevant to be categorized as one of the important issues to be discussed these days. It is fun to be read for there is much useful information shared. But it is not actually a good and balanced article due to the some fallacies present and lack of evidences. A good article should be one that has facts or evidences to support the content of the article.
