Constructing an argument


               There can be big issues that can come from jumping to a conclusion so, constructing to an argument becomes necessary. The opposite would be the benefit of the doubt. Whether they may be a simple argument like, “I lost my phone that’s why I couldn’t call you.” “Your position is immoral because you think national health care is wrong.” Whether, we have different moral opinions about what is moral and what isn’t. Evidence gives a little more understanding from both sides to come to an agreement, and/or what right and wrong.
                Stating an issue can be tricky. Being clear with an issue really creates this sense of knowledge to pinpoint what is the core issue. Should school raise the price of tuition? Should tuition be raise when student’s unemployment is high?
                Developing a list of premises one puts opinion usually stand as weak arguments. Assumptions as, “you are evil because you don’t believe in God; therefore, your statement is wrong and evil.” Things maybe so ingrate into us one may forget having an open mind. The three factors that help develop a good premise credible, and complete with stating it clearly. Spending time on what is premise is going to be used.
                Eliminating weak or irrelevant premises one weak link can disrupt the function of an argument. Irrelevant premises is not relevant to the issue and drifts the arguments for one side. Avoid being vague and confusing in toward arguments. These premise should be avoid for resolving issues.
                Establish a Conclusion, countering each side doesn’t mean a necessary conclusion.  Looking at arguments that are only black or white. Furthermore, either it is wrong or right isn’t strong enough of a statement. Conclusions should be based on facts that support the key premise. Presenting figures like numbers help understand that correlate. For example, we have 1,000 parking spaces and 50% freshmen while 40% live off campus. This has become a big issue for student.
                Organize your argument is a process that may turn out to solve may problems. Although, there is no one way to argue. Constructing a well thought out argument is great. Today there needs to be common ground or a little more understanding that arguments are essential to way of life.
