Support your position.Instructions:Student ResponseThomasDr. B, Classmates, Argumentative essays are nothing more than a way to win a stance, position or argument based on fact.   They can be simple arguments or more complex issues that force the writer to conduct extensive research on a topic and as we learned in this course, it forces the writer to be open to other views, possibly negate them and collect evidence on the topic.  They also have to provide an argument or something about the issue on the opposite side and the writer has to defend his or her position with fact.  Successful essays basically present both sides of an issue or argument but they swing more positively to the writer’s personal belief.    Logical positions are no more than reasoning so for me, I feel it is easier to take an argumentative approach to research as it will force me to investigate, find evidence and support a cause, claim or stance.  Logically, I would have to pick a position on a matter, apply deductive or inductive reasoning, validate my findings and “convince” my audience that I am correct.  It’s not difficult but takes a different approach.   Either way, both methods get a writer to the point but I really think what it comes down to is what type of stance or issue at hand the writer is taking, what audience is the position geared toward and what approach would work best.              It’ll be fun the next couple days putting this together as I have never had to write one!TomStevenFirst, an argument focuses on evidence and clear reasoning.  How well you can explain how your evidence supports your claim is essential.  The passion that results in persuasive debates differs drastically to the logical process of gathering evidence and linking that evidence to your claim.  It confirms the validity.  When a writer can compare with different perspectives and points of view, it gives them the chance to test their claims and refine their position.  Debating can get personal and debaters tend to get in their feelings defending their opinions.  It is just human nature.  Debates are based on persuasion.  Persuasion is personal and often passionate with the goal of winning the debate.  We also are inclined to use evidence from our own lives and personal experiences in a persuasive debates rather than actual evidence.  I think constructing a logical position may be difficult than establishing an argument.   Constructing logical positions on subjects is a skill that must be developed and harvested while we practically have been constructing arguments our entire lives in some form or fashion.  Arguments require one to choose a side and for the writer to evaluate information to support the argument.  While, constructing a logical position requires the writer to answer objectively and consider contrasting perspectives.  There should be no conceived notions or opinions on the topic.  I think we can agree that is difficult to do, especially if the topic hits home with you.  To draw conclusions on factual information from reliable sources takes quite a bit more effort than to form the opinions of an argument from personal experience or research.
