Example Of Argument Is Everywhere

1.) When I first encountered the word argument in this chapter I thought that I would be informed on what an argument is and how to construct an argument in an essay. After reading the chapter I think arguments much more than creating diversity over a topic. Also, it is much more than making a claim. There are many different styles and ways to present an argument.
2.) Three examples of argument is everywhere. First, there is an argument always in politics. Second, there are always argument in religion. Third there is always argument when you turn on the Television and the media stirs up an argument.
3.) Traditional argument is when one takes a side of an argument and tries to persuade the opposite side to take their side of the argument.

According to Nancy Woods, an example of a traditional argument is “the public debate among candidates for public office or among other individuals who want to convince their audiences to side with them and accept their points of view.” (Woods 6) A consensual argument is when two parties come together to make a mutual decision. An example of this according to Nancy Woods is “In contrast to traditional argument with winning, consensual argument emphasizes on agreement.” (Woods 7)
4.) Some conditions necessary for an argument to work best are: when there is an issue, somebody argues against the issue, an audience to listen to the argument, and common ground between both parties.
5.) Some conditions that could cause the argument to fail are when there isn’t any confrontation between two parties. The topic may be too difficult or not worth arguing about. There may be a problem finding common ground between two parties. An argument may not go anywhere or end in a negative outcome.
