The topic that i feel like i could use further in discussion
and in future references will always be the topic of arguments. Sometimes when
i feel really passionate about a certain subject i try to argue my point and
persuade people to try to change their minds and take my side on a specific
thing. I learned many different persuasive techniques i could use in the
future such as stating facts and using emotional techniques for my advantage
because i know from personal experience many people take sides based on what
their emotions are telling them because they may feel guilty or bad if they
choose to take another side. I don’t think ill be aggressive when I try to
argue my point because I know that being assertive may be good, but some people
may be turned off by it when im trying to explain my point and reason for a
subject.
This topic was something that I also believe could use more discussion. I also try to argue my point with others that are either not on my side or just do not understand the issue and the information we learned in this class helped me as well come up with a better argument, but having more discussion would allow me to further my arguments with others. I agree with your comment about not being aggressive during an argument because most of the time people do not like when that happens and don't feel like continuing with the argument, which is not fun..
ReplyDeleteI agree with you because I felt like the lesson on arguments was a bit short. I felt like there was much more that could be added and more details could be discovered. I felt like we need a more information on how to take down an argument or response to n argument. Arguments are a big part in life because the materials we need to discuss has to be very descriptive. If the information is not dead on the argument can lean another way and in the end you didn’t provide the stronger point of view. There should be more examples on this lesson because I felt like this was one topic that I had a problem with too.
