Week of March 31, 2014: Argument vs. Persuasion
Argument is not simply a dispute, as when people disagree with one another or yell at each other. Argument is about making a case in support of a claim in everyday affairs—in science, in policy making, in courtrooms, and so forth.
Argument is mainly about logical appeals and involves claims, evidence, warrants, backing, and rebuttals.
