Argument
An argument expresses a position on an issue or problem and supports it with reasons and evidence.
Being able to evaluate arguments will help you distinguish between claims you should accept and those you should reject.

Persuasive TechniquesFrom -The Gift of Life (page 657) Speech by Tommy Thompson
This month in Fresno, California, members of the Hispanic community gathered . . . to remember 19-year-old Maribel Cordova. Maribel had received an identification card this year and told her mother she wanted to become a donor.Two weeks later, a damaged blood vessel in her head tragically cut her life short.Because of Maribel’s selfless act, others lived. A 35-year-old man from Northern California received her lungs. A 66-year-old Southern California woman got her liver. . . .These are the human experiences of hope out of loss, of life out of death, that touch and motivate us, that drive us to do everything within our power to promote organ and tissue donation. Through education, outreach, science and the vitally important work of people like you, we will reach that future when organ donation is, quite simply, a fact of life.

Logical Reasoning http://shmoop.com/video/inductive-vs-deductive-reasoning/
There are two different ways to use reasoning: deductive and inductive.
Deductive reasoning starts with a general theory, statement, or hypothesis and then works its way down to a conclusion based on evidence.
Inductive reasoning starts with a small observation or question and works its way to a theory by examining the related issues. (bottom up)

Logical Fallacies
Logical Fallacies-are common errors in reasoning that will undermine the logic of your argument.

FallaciesPage R24
Slippery Slope-This is a conclusion based on the premise that if A happens, then eventually through a series of small steps, through B, C,..., X, Y, Z will happen, too,Red HerringNon-SequiturPost HocBandwagonAd HominemFalse Authority
![Page 13: Be prepared to give me three reasons why you AGREE or DISAGREE with the statement below. Does anonymity on the web give people too much license to heckle.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d825503460f94a683c2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Slippery Slope if A happens, then eventually through a series of small steps, through B, C,..., X, Y, Z will happen, too,
Red Herring This is a diversionary tactic that avoids the key issues,
Non-Sequitur an argument in which its conclusion does not follow from its premises.
Post Hoc assumes that if 'A' occurred after 'B' then 'B' must have caused 'A.
Bandwagon There is truth in numbers
Ad Hominem This is an attack on the character of a person rather than his or her opinions or arguments
False Authority try to get readers to agree with us simply by impressing them with a famous name or by appealing to a supposed authority
Hasty Generalization
general statement is made on the basis of insufficient evidence or on the basis of only a few examples.
![Page 14: Be prepared to give me three reasons why you AGREE or DISAGREE with the statement below. Does anonymity on the web give people too much license to heckle.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d825503460f94a683c2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Bias a "slant"—a prejudice, or a particular point
of view that's based more on opinions than facts.
A writer may reveal a strongly positive or negative opinion about an issue by presenting only one way of looking at it.
A write with a strong bias will have evidence heavy on only one side. Like an unbalanced scale.

Evidence
Because I said so" only works for our parents. Ordinary non-parental types have to actually back up their arguments with evidence if they want people to get on board with their train of thought.

Types of Evidence
Personal Experience- If you have a lot of experience with something, people may believe the arguments you make based on that experience.
Stats and Facts- The beauty of basing an argument on stats and facts is that anyone can do it. Find some credible sources whose stats and facts back up what you're saying, and voilà: You've got evidence.

Evaluating Evidence
How do you know if your sources are credible—believable and authoritative—or not?
Consider the following: Authority Purpose/Intended Audience Objectivity
