Discussion: Selecting Argumentation Strategies

41968Discussion: Selecting Argumentation Strategies

In this module we have explored different ways to structure and present an argument, chiefly Aristotelian, Rogerian, and Toulmin argumentation strategies. Although these strategies have been around for a long time, you can still find them deployed in many current arguments. For this discussion, locate an example of one of those argumentation strategies applied to a current argument. You might look for these examples online in a variety of sources including websites, opinion articles, and even videos. You may have even come across one of these strategies during your library research on your topic. Post a link and an APA formatted citation for the argument you found. Decide which argumentation strategy is used in the source you found and identify that in your post. Then explain how you were able to identify the argumentation strategy at play, pointing to specific phrases, organizational approaches, and other evidence from the source to support your decision. Finally, consider how effective the author of the argument was in using the argumentation strategy.
