Both Coms 301 and 361 drop you off at the curb of coms 311: argumentation. What a curb it is! In argument and debate, you examine speech as more of an-ongoing process--a boxing match of logic and reasoning. You stay on your feet, duck and swing and try to outsmart the other side's argument. This is not the definition of "argument" as in "fight," this is a respectful examination of two or more sides of a complex issue. For every claim, you need evidence (or data) to support it, but also, evidence can be manipulated to decieve us, even facts can be subject to interpretation. The reasoning BEHIND the claim and evidence is where the faulty logic reveals itself. This is Toulmin's warrant. Charts and graphs can be created to skew our interpretation of statistics, scare tactics can be used to persuade us when there isn't enough REAL evidence, unlike things can be compared to create confusion: This is rhetorical: Language has imbedded within it an ability to persuade, which in the wrong hands (or mouthpiece) can become deceptive....especially when a party stands to gain power or money by persuading you. Critical thinking is your best tool to recognize and resist.

For this blog assignment, 1. Find fault (or a fallacy) in either the "because" statment (evidence or data) OR the assumption (warrant) behind the reasoning of the previous data and claim. 2..state your own claim begining with word "so" and also using the word "should"--2.then support it with evidence that begins with "because"--keep it simple. 3. The next person should find fault or a fallacy in either your evidence or your warrant (implied) and then launch a new "so/because" argument. Keep it clean and respectful, I'll go first.
