For my argument, I plan on most likely taking the position of a position argument. As I am trying to show the audience how the bad outweighs the good in the context of this debate. To affect opinion, its best to show both the good and the bad, too. By doing this I can give the audience a fair shot at forming an opinion while also showing my own personal opinion as well as the opinion of the media I am using to gain this information.
Most of the other argument styles may also be able to help convey the idea correctly, except for a refutation argument. Were are merely trying to explain it and get people to show opinion and cause action because of their opinion. A refutation argument is trying to disprove the argument. There is no room to disprove it, only to express it and gain backing on the debate.
I read both
Hallye and
Isaac's positions on "Considering Types." It was good to see two differing opinions on how arguments. I personally agree more with Hallye's argument than Isaac's. I personally believe that a position argument is more beneficial to my type of argument.
After reading through your previous blog post, I would definitely agree that a position argument would be the most helpful. It seems like you have a lot of information to provide your audience with and that you are aiming more for a gain in knowledge rather than taking action. By being able to choose a side in this debate, they might be able to sway the direction of the debate.
ReplyDeleteThis a good argument style that will let you address both sides but show that one side outweighs the other in whatever way you want it to. I have a similar appeal where it is really one side against another and one side isn't necessarily wrong, but my side, I think, is better. That is after all what spurs argument.
ReplyDeleteI think you are mostly correct in this regard. A position argument is certainly the best choice of argument for this. What I am more unsure of is if you have any other choice at all. I think a position argument is unequivocally the best and probably your only option. Good luck on your Project 3, it's going to be very interesting, I can tell!
