This reading proved not to be too bad, compared to my judgement at first glance. It talks about variations of arguments. It can be two or more people going head to head with raised voices, or it could be a formal debate over a designated topic. There are two different types; formal & informal. Every one of us has used these throughout our years, formal mostly in school settings, and informal in social or home settings.
I find the following information interesting. They chose 7 things that are important aspects of an argument:
1. Need a specific purpose: carefully think what you are doing and why
2. The audience: how are you going to direct your points to influence your specific audience
3. Larger context: think about when and where you are holding the meeting
4. Communication strategies: come after specific purpose, audience, and context. Key in making a difference
5. Medium of communication: use best possible medium to get the point accross
6. Arrange & combine communication strategies to build the most persuasive presentation
7. Test your communication. Try presentation out beforehand to see the response
