What Time Are You Planning On Coming Back Home
1) Review the dialogue example on pages 8-9. In a paragraph, describe why this example demonstrates that 1) argument is both a process and a product and 2) why argument combines truth seeking and persuasion.
This example demonstrates that an argument is both a process and a product by showing how the argument starts with the young person saying that she will be back home at 2 a.m. Then, the mother says she will not stay out till 2 and she will be back at twelve, thus producing the start of an argument. Then the argument progresses with the teenager saying stuff like “but I'm sixteen years old,” and then the parent can respond in many different ways and the argument progresses more. The example also shows why arguments combine truth seeking and persuasion by showing how the teenager uses the example of how her friends can stay out that long and the mother says that she was never allowed to stay out that late. Then the uses another type of persuasion saying that she should be allowed to stay out till to as a trial run to prove that she is mature and she won't get in trouble. …show more content…

    Study Questions 1

    2) The book explains how when we learned to write a basic five paragraph argumentative essay, we only learned how to put down points from our side, and fail to properly address the points made by those arguing against. So to be effective writers we must as they say “enter a conversation” meaning that we must argue on paper how we would in the real world. Addressing what others have to say, and counting with a point of your own. One example from the book was “I can’t see why you like the Lakers so much”. In this case they addressed the topic at hand and they would proceed to make an argument from there, like a real world conversation.…

    Definition Essay: The Meaning Of Argument

    In the world today, the word “argument” is used on a daily basis and usually carries a bad meaning. In fact, the word is used so much that people often mistaken it’s true meaning. According to the book Writing Arguments by John Ramage, John Bean and June Johnson, there is no universally accepted definition of “argument.” The meaning of the term is rather complex, and it has been remained a controversial issue of philosophers and rhetoricians over the centuries (2). Because of the complexity of the word, we need to examine three important points in order to understand what “argument” truly meant: the misconceptions about the meaning of argument, the features of argument, and the relationship of argument to the problem of truth.…
