- 現(xiàn)代社會(huì)中，一個(gè)國(guó)家不能閉關(guān)鎖國(guó)，應(yīng)當(dāng)積極參加國(guó)際交流，而為了在國(guó)際交流中保持國(guó)際政策的一致性，需要國(guó)家在對(duì)內(nèi)教育中，讓其公民很好地理解國(guó)際方面的事務(wù)。因?yàn)閲?guó)際政策的一致性是一個(gè)國(guó)家在國(guó)際競(jìng)爭(zhēng)時(shí)代條件下保持領(lǐng)先地位的先決條件。為了能夠在國(guó)內(nèi)教育中使公民更好地理解國(guó)際事務(wù)，教育部就必須首先要求所有新上崗的教師在教授課程時(shí)堅(jiān)持國(guó)際視野取向。 根據(jù)以上陳述，最可能推出以下哪項(xiàng)（）。
- 分析下述論證中存在的缺陷和漏洞，選擇若干要點(diǎn)，寫一篇600字左右的文章，對(duì)該論證的有效性進(jìn)行分析和評(píng)論。（論證有效性分析的一般要點(diǎn)是：概念特別是核心概念的界定和使用是否準(zhǔn)確并前后一致，有無(wú)各種明顯的邏輯錯(cuò)誤，論證的論據(jù)是否成立并支持結(jié)論，結(jié)論成立的條件是否充分等等。 在一次管理培訓(xùn)課堂上，培訓(xùn)師把一杯酒倒進(jìn)一桶污水中，然后問(wèn)大家：“這是一桶什么？”大家說(shuō)：“一桶污水。”培訓(xùn)師又把一杯污水倒進(jìn)一桶酒中，然后問(wèn)：“這是一桶什么？”“仍然是一桶污水。”“誰(shuí)還愿意喝它？”臺(tái)下的學(xué)員一個(gè)個(gè)都皺著眉頭，回答說(shuō)：“很惡心，不愿意！”“于是，我們就只能很遺憾地把它全部倒掉。”

- 在一個(gè)公司的野餐活動(dòng)中，所有參加了超過(guò)四個(gè)預(yù)定節(jié)目的雇員，并且只有這些雇員在那天結(jié)束的時(shí)候有資格參加抽獎(jiǎng)售貨。既然僅有很小比例的雇員有資格參加抽獎(jiǎng)售貨，那么大多數(shù)的雇員參加的預(yù)定節(jié)目的個(gè)數(shù)一定少于四個(gè)。 下面哪個(gè)論述展示了與本文中論述較為相似的推理缺陷模式（）。

- 分析下述論證中存在的缺陷和漏洞，選擇若干要點(diǎn)，寫一篇600字左右的文章，對(duì)該論證的有效性進(jìn)行分析和評(píng)論。（論證有效性分析的一般要點(diǎn)是：概念特別是核心概念的界定和使用是否準(zhǔn)確并前后一致，有無(wú)各種明顯的邏輯錯(cuò)誤，論證的論據(jù)是否成立并支持結(jié)論，結(jié)論成立的條件是否充分等。） 有人做過(guò)這樣一個(gè)試驗(yàn)：被試驗(yàn)者被分成一人組、兩人組和三人組，要求各組盡力拉繩，同時(shí)用靈敏度很高的測(cè)力器分別測(cè)量其拉力。結(jié)果，二人組的拉力只有他們單獨(dú)拉繩時(shí)的拉力總和的70%；三人組的拉力則只有他們單獨(dú)拉繩時(shí)的拉力總和的49%。 “拉繩試驗(yàn)”表明，在任何一個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)當(dāng)中，任何人都會(huì)把責(zé)任悄然推卸到其他人身上。團(tuán)隊(duì)越大，這種推卸就會(huì)越嚴(yán)重。所以，對(duì)企業(yè)經(jīng)營(yíng)管理來(lái)說(shuō)，我們應(yīng)該努力避免讓員工以團(tuán)隊(duì)的方式進(jìn)行工作，并且也不要幻想或強(qiáng)調(diào)員工和員工之間的合作，在分配工作的時(shí)候，每個(gè)員工分工的職責(zé)越具體、越明確越好，這樣就能避免濫竽充數(shù)的出工不出力的現(xiàn)象，從而提高整個(gè)公司的工作效率。
