In his article “Argumentation in a Culture of Discord”, Cioffi criticizes the way our contemporary media view argument and offer s his own perspective on view argument and argumentation. On our contemporary media view argument, Cioffi believes that our current media fail to offer a forum for actual genuine debate: they are neither pursuing real inquiries nor grappling with complex puzzle. Instead what they offer is the easy route: they provide two sides of arguments and the audience have to pick one over another. In other words, the media way of arguments fail to take counter-arguments into consideration. Thus, the problems arise with the media definition is that our younger generations fail to understand the concept of “arguments” proposed…

In his article “Argument as Conversation”, Stuart Greene attempts to purpose the proper way to make arguments into intellectual conversation. Whether you are in class, or spending some time with family, arguments usually happen and are a unique part of everyday life. As Greene states in the article, “Argument is very much part of what we do every day; We confront a public issue, something that is open to dispute, and we take a stand and support what we think and feel with what we believe are good reasons” (Greene 28). With that being said, Greene believes that arguments are already very much like a conversation. However, there are multiple things one must understand before joining such conversations.…

Lee was the hero of the Confederates, and had he accepted the idea of guerilla warfare, many others resisting the Union would have followed him.…
When studying the philosophy of argumentation, it’s clear to observant participants that there are different ways to come to and defend ones statement. In any given statement used in an argument, there are various ways to group and dissect these larger reasoning’s into categories that qualify their conclusions in similar ways. Two of these categories that we use to justify arguments are branch support and joint support. Branch support is able to justify its conclusion by giving premises that provide independent support. This means that each premise is independently giving sufficient reasons to reach the same conclusion.…
