“The Paragraph, which supports Sen’s Main Argument”.

Economist, Amartya Sen, in his essay “More Than 100 Million Missing Women” indicates the declining condition of the population of women comparing to the men, especially in the orients area than from the population of the occident areas. The writer gave some reason behind the difference among the number of men and women. The main reason behind this unusual ration is the neglect that women face in the Asian country than from the European Countries. Sen also includes the social, cultural and economical reason behind this problem. The author supports his claim on the third paragraph of the second page by using the evidence of logos.
In order to support his claim the author gives the data of the ratio of the men and women in China and India to calculate the number of missing women in the South Asia. According to Sen there will be “6 percent deficit of women” (Sen, 01). The reason behind this deficiency is the inequality in the health care they receive between men and women. But, if we compare the ratio among the people who receive similar health care the deficiency will be more. In Sen’s word “the real shortfall is about 11 percent” (Sen, 01). If we compare it with China than the number of missing women is 50 million alone in that country, which leads us to 100 million missing women when added in South & West Asia and even North Africa. This information clearly supports the claim that Sen made in his article. Sen used the data’s ant rates of the missing women as an evidence to support his claim in this paragraph, which also supports the claim that Sen made in his whole article.
The writer supports his claim by giving the statistics of the ratio of men and women in this paragraph by using logos, which at the same time supports his whole argument of the article.
