Argumentative


In her article, Rebecca Jones maid interesting claims about what an argument is and how these debates or disagreements tend to come about. Jones explored the various styles of arguments and introduced multiple perspectives into what determines them. Ethos is mentioned to describe the ethical element of an argument. This element is what allows for there to be rules, regulations and different genre's of arguments. She also established that pathos is used to sway the audience through their emotions. The pathos is he punch line that captivates of disappoints the audience, these are the true intentions concerning the basis of the argument. Logos is the logical explanation for the argument and points out the credibility of discussion. It is the proof and serves as evidence to validate the positions presented. Arguing demands reasons or cite evidence in support of an idea, action, or theory. Typically with the aim of persuading others to share one's view and persuade someone to do or not to do something by giving reasons. The position of a argument starts with a desire to make your position known about an issue you care about, feel invested in, or find intellectually stimulating. The speaker's sense of exigency, or motivated curiosity, drives the need to learn more about the issue. A speaker has to embrace the fact that they're are not necessarily arguing their point to the audience, but to convincing the audience that the argument is in fact and more correct.

A position argument states a claim that reasonable people hold substantially different opinions about. For example, people might use words indicating value judgments about the issue


Claim: The basic standpoint presented by a writer/speaker.This is often the thesis of which the argument is built: Football is now the number one sport in America and its popularity has also reached beyond American borders.

Data: The evidence which supports the claim. Data is the descriptive detail the confirms the credibility of the argument: For the last five years Football has been the highest grossing sport in America.

Warrant: The justification for connecting particular data to a particular claim. The warrant also makes clear the assumptions underlying the argument. This gives the reasoning for the stasis and is essential to the flow of the argument. The Super Bowl is the most watch sporting events on television.

Backing: Additional information required if the warrant is not clearly supported. The baking is the buffer information the further stresses the objective. The 2013 Super bowl had more rating than the summer Olympic games.

Rebuttal: Conditions or standpoints that point out flaws in the claim or alternative positions. The Rebuttal offers the audience a perspective of the opposition. Baseball is still officially referred to as America's past time.
