Mark: i deserve a raise! boss: why do you deserve a raise? mark: both rachel and soledad make three dollars more an hour than i do, so i should make the same as they do. boss: both rachel and soledad have worked here longer than you and always receive top evaluations. mark: well, then i deserve a raise because i have a wife and two children at home, one of whom has a very expensive medical condition. boss: no. even though his boss refused to give him a raise, mark's argument is a solid example of a logical and well-supported argument.
