Gajendra is right. You are supposed to consider strength of argument on the basis on material facts provided in them; not on the basis of personal emotions or socialistic views.

In the statement it is asking for the view.
And it can be both +ve or -ve.
These question must not be seen as per emotions but to solve it.
