Envision an intriguing and educational scene which encapsulates the idea of argument analysis and evaluating points of view. Visualize a set of scales perfectly balanced, on one side place a symbol representing opinion (maybe a speech bubble) and on the other, a symbol for evidence (maybe a magnifying glass examining a piece of data or document). In another part, sketch a pair of lively students, one South Asian girl and one Black boy, they're enthusiastically debating on a relevant topic. Not stopping there, it also portrays a scenario in which a Hispanic teacher is guiding a mixed group of children through a discussion on the importance of supporting arguments with evidence.

Is each argument convincing?

Argument 1: Federal laws protecting gray wolves should be removed. Many ranchers want to allow hunting wolves again. They point to increased wolf populations in several states. Numbers have grown from under 1,000 to more than 5,000. The increase has led to more wolf attacks on sheep and cattle.

Argument 2: Federal laws protecting gray wolves should stay in place. Conservationists say that current wolf packs and populations are not at all stable. They point to the fact that wolves neared extinction before laws protecting them were enacted. Allowing hunting could eliminate the gains.
