After graduating from university, Samantha got a job with the county government. One-year into her new job, she learned that a Big Corporation planned to build a huge new factory on farmland outside the quiet, small town of Smallsville that had 2,000 residents. The Big Corporation flew in a high-powered public relations team of five people who showed a slick video, threw out a few statistics, and promised that many new jobs and income would come to the county and town. Two of the public relations people said they were Factory Site Experts. They said that in the three other locations where Big Corporation had built factories in the past two years, the local people were very happy. They said the same would occur in Smallsville and further study was unnecessary. Just before the County Board
was about to vote for approval, Samantha asked some questions. How would the new factory with 1,000 employees affect the way of life in Smallsville? Would the new factory create traffic congestion, noise, and air or water pollution? Would the town need to upgrade its police, fire, or ambulance services? Would it raise housing prices? What percent of the jobs would go to local people, and would the jobs be well-paying and stable? Would there be three shifts with some shifts ending late at night or early in the morning? How would the local schools and sewage treatment services be affected? Would the new factory's location adjacent to the area's only park limit the use of the park and its playground and bicycle trail by local children? Samantha questioned the corporate Factory Site Expert's claims that the company had created jobs and done wonderful things in two other towns, so the same thing would happen here, so no further issues were involved. She challenged their claims that use all EXCEPT which of nonscientific basis of knowledge? A) tradition B) authority C) overgeneralization D) premature closure E) selective observation
