Process and Analysis In this essay, I am going to give you a step by step lesson on how to argue effectively. When you start arguing about something you may not realize that there is indeed a wrong and a right way to go about it. In this essay, we are going to go through all of the steps to argue the right way and make it effective. Before starting the process, you need to make sure you are aware of all of the repercussions that may occur. You may not always get what you want at the end of the argument. The first thing you need to do before you begin your argument is make sure you know enough about the topic or situation to argue about it. If you know you will be arguing about something ahead of time you should do research on the topic. You don't want to start arguing about something and be shut down completely because you have not done your researching and you are giving out false information. Arguing is much like complaining you are most likely trying to get out of something and you want to make sure what you are saying is valid and brought up in a professional manner in order for others to take you seriously. …show more content…
When you are about to start your argument make sure the subject is still fresh in the minds of the people around you.
In order to do this will have to do some fast research and be ready as soon as the subject is brought up again. The longer you wait the harder it will be to make your case. The next thing that is very important is to make sure there are other people around who agree with you and will stand by your side. Whichever side of the discussion with the most people usually wins. You need to make sure what you are arguing about is well stated and understood by the people involved. Before starting your argument make sure you have an idea of what the outcome will be. You should also make sure this is the type of outcome you would like, if not it is not worth arguing
about. When arguing you have to make sure the discussion does not get out of hand and stays under control. You want to make sure you don't start saying things out of anger or frustration because when arguing you may not always get what you want in the end, although you should still make sure throughout your whole argument you stay confident and don't give up. Something very important when it comes to arguing is making sure you are arguing for a good reason or purpose. Whatever you are arguing about should be important to you and have a positive outcome. For example, if someone is giving out false information about something you feel strongly about then yes, you should use what you know to have a valid argument with that person to sway their thinking on the subject. Arguing just because you don't want to do something or because you want a reaction from people will most likely not turn out in your favor and is not worth it. When people discuss the term, arguing it always sounds as if it is a negative thing and that is not the case. The definition of arguing is to give a reason or cite evidence in support of an idea, action, or theory, typically with the aim of persuading others to share one's view. Therefore, arguing can bring a very positive outcome.

On December 2,2015 I went to to the Lynnhaven building to receive some feedback on my agreement paper for English 111. It was a very rainy day after running through the rain when I reached the writing center room. There was a yellow note saying that the writing center was in the student center until December 4,2015. After reading the note I ran back in the rain to my car.It was to cold to walk it was raining. As I approached the student center I was told by a security guard that the tutoring lab was located on the third floor. I had walked up three flights of stairs. When I had finally reached the third floor,I walk into the tutoring lab. There were about eight tables, but only four staff members and one student. Amen had approached me asking what did I need help with today. I replied saying that I would like some feedback on my paper for English. He then pointed to the writing table and said “she can assist you with your paper”.

Finally, the argument must be reasonable and logical to the people who need convincing.

For as long as I can remember debating has been prominent in my life full of oppression and constant discrimination. I first decided to join the Speech and Debate club at my school because I saw it as an opportunity to further develop my ability to craft strong arguments. In the world today or at least in the part of the world which I have been exposed to, very few know how to do so. After my first regional competition, I not only became better at constructing arguments I also discovered one of my greatest talents, public speaking. Through several pairs of red cheeks and shaking knees, I realized public speaking does not come easy to everyone. My

In this essay we will take a step by step look at how to construct a reflective argument in response to Michael Hardt’s “Are we capable of Democracy” argument in Examined Life.
Throughout the semester, I have learned extensively about the process of an argument through the use of evidence, supporting details, and a clear stance on various pressing issue’s in today’s world. When I signed up for this class for the second semester, I never thought that I would be challenged to come up with compelling arguments for not only my side, but the opposing side as well. One of the most difficult things that I found was coming to a middle ground through the style of the Rogerian argument, but most of all, I learned that to opposing sides can find a solution without a fight breaking out. I learned that through one of the most basic argument forms it becomes so much more complex than simply arguing a point, you have to do the research
At various points in your relationship you are going to have disagreements and arguments. No matter how perfect the relationship, they will argue at some point. If anything, it would be unhealthy of you not to argue. Arguing can help to clear the air and highlight issues that need dealing with. If you shout and scream at each other, if you play the blame game, or if you are just looking to score points of your partner then you achieve nothing, your issues remain unresolved, resentment builds and it could destroy your relationship. You need to be calm and rational when you talk things through, you need to be able to focus on your issues and not get distracted, and you need to be able to reach a solution that you are both happy with. Use arguments as a way to identify problems and in working through them to come closer

Besides, I need to make a detailed plan before the negotiation. Firstly, analyzing the interests, perspectives and weak points of the opposite side and selecting suitable tactics. Secondly, preparing several response strategies will help me to control the situations. Thirdly, setting the minimum level what I can agree on the issue is also essential part of negotiation.
What you should notice in this part of my argument is that I introduced our claim while also establishing the significance of it. I then introduced what side I was arguing but also proceeded to establish the counter claim, or the other side of the argument. Stating both the side you are arguing and the side you are arguing against substantially helps strengthen an argument. I supplied the reader with relevant evidence and concerns for either side of the argument so the reader could better understand hat I was
