To give an overall comment about the text I have chosen that is named "Squatting is not the

answer", I would like to say that it is a consistent document due to a lot of strong evidence
and arguments. To be honest, the premises and conclusions that the arguer uses are really
good with a comprehensive relation between them. It has been shown through several pieces
of evidence here. First of all, the text shows the first evaluation of the squatting problem in
some Western countries such as the United Kingdom or the Netherlands is literally
underestimated over the years, although it is an ongoing problem. Mostly because of the
lenience and the tolerance of a few legislatures. Moreover, they consider squatting as a
contemporary solution for the homeless. At first, it could be a little bit awkward and odd when
it comes to humanity in the first paragraph because the homeless actually need somewhere
to rest, and squatting is their final way to survive. And the author is the opposition to
squatting. However, the author has made it clear in the next paragraph. But before analyzing
that aspect, I would mention more about the first argument of this text. The author has said
that squatting is just such a desecration due to the injustice of the situation. The one who
does squatting is supposed to be a disrespectful person because of the disobedience of the
social etiquette rules. This is considered a very sharp argument that the author has given out.
However, I still believe that when people are in the worst situation and they feel so impotent,
therefore, they would do anything just to survive regardless of any cost. Continuously, the
second argument is such a good one in my opinion. I really agree with the author that as
ordinary citizens we should protect the properties without any doubt because even if those
properties are not in our ownership, we still have to care about them for the whole of society.
From some perspectives, squatting is so familiar with some illegal behaviors like thieving.
Sometimes, they are quite stubborn and we find it so difficult to evict them. So, from the point
of view of those people who have experienced this, I totally agree with the author on the
disrespectful consequence came from squatting. Lastly, the final argument has a small weak
point that I will point out here. The author of the text has said that squatting is not contributed
by the homeless but by the hooligans such as punks and beatniks and I suppose that the
author just does not want these kinds of people to behave improperly. But what about the
genuinely homeless who really need somewhere to rest but struggling with looking up for
accommodation. These kinds of people rarely damage or do something like that to the facility
so we should sympathize with those poor people and find some solution to help them.
Brilliantly, this text has also brought out a viable solution in the last paragraph. I highly
recommend this solution to be brought into activity. The author has also shown some real
evidence about this solution in person. Finally, one can conclude that this text manages all
aspects of cohesion well while sequences information and ideas logically and clearly with
convincing evidence throughout the whole text.
I'd like to say that the text I chose, "Squatting is not the answer," is a consistent document because
there is a lot of compelling data and arguments to support it. Sincere to say, the argumentation’s
premises and conclusions are excellent and have a thorough relationship. Several pieces of evidence
have been used to demonstrate it. Firstly, despite the fact that this is an ongoing issue, the text
demonstrates how the initial assessment of the squatting issue in some Western nations, such as the
United Kingdom or the Netherlands, has been systematically understated over time. primarily due to the
laxity and tolerance of a few legislatures. Additionally, they view squatting as a modern remedy for the
homeless. Since the homeless actually need a place to rest and squatting is their only remaining means
of subsistence, it may initially seem awkward and odd to discuss humanity in the first paragraph. The
author is also against squatting. The following paragraph, however, makes it clear how the author feels.
However, I would like to talk more about the first argument of this text before I analyze that part.
Squatting, according to the author, is an example of such a desecration because of the injustice of the
circumstance. Due to their disregard for social conventions, squatters are thought to be disrespectful
individuals. The author has presented what is thought to be a very incisive argument. However, I
continue to think that people would go to any lengths to survive if they were in the worst possible
situation and felt so helpless. The second argument is consistently such a strong one, in my opinion. I
wholeheartedly concur with the author that as regular citizens, we should protect properties without a
doubt because, even if they are not our own, we still have a responsibility to care for them on behalf of
society as a whole. Squatting is often associated with criminal activity like stealing from some angles.
They can be quite obstinate at times, making eviction extremely challenging. In light of this, I completely
concur with the author's assessment that squatting had disrespectful consequences from the
perspective of those who had firsthand experience. Finally, I will draw attention to a minor flaw in the
conclusion. The author of the text claims that hooligans like punks and beatniks are the ones who
contribute to squatting, not the homeless. I assume that the author simply does not want these types of
people to act inappropriately. But what about those who are true without a place to sleep and are
finding it difficult to find housing? We should feel sorry for those unfortunate people and try to find a
way to help them since these kinds of people don't often damage or do something similar to the facility.
This text has also brilliantly presented a workable solution in the last paragraph. I strongly urge that this
solution be implemented. Additionally, the author physically demonstrated some real evidence
supporting this solution. Finally, it can be said that this text effectively manages all aspects of cohesion
and presents ideas and information in a logical, convincing order throughout the entire work.
