Everyday Argument

There are arguments being made all around us. Advertisements make them. So do friends and family members, bumper stickers, TV shows, commercials and billboards. And, of course, we make our own arguments to convince other people of something we believe. Write about an argument you see, hear or are a part of over the weekend. Identify the argument's topic, claim, reasons and evidence. Was the argument successful? If it was someone else's argument, were you convinced? If it was your own argument, were others convinced?

Your reading assignment over the weekend is pp 5-16 in the textbook. If you can plug in terms from this reading, all the better.
