Yes, on my point of view an argument can be any text that we can express a point of view, it doesn’t matter how tiny it could be, it surely will have a huge argument about it. For example; a Boston Red Sox’s cap, a Livestrong bracelet, the “explicit lyrics” label on a best- selling Rap CD, a Tesla Model S electric car, or a pair of Ray –Ban sunglasses.
First, let’s talk about a Boston Red sox’s cap and its possible argument. For example, we can find its own argument about it not only from the style of the cap but it could be about the logo and of course about the team it represents. Also, our argument could be about the purpose why it was made, if it will fit both men and women (unisex) or if it’s specific for gender, child or an adult. Last, the kind of the design of the logo could represent the attitude of the fans to the team.
Next, a Livestrong bracelet many times its argument comes in who is wearing it and the story behind of that person. The color of the bracelet and the place it was made plays a tremendous role on items like this. The message on the bracelet could have a strong meaning for many people wearing it. It might not be personal but in support of a relative or friends. Even the material from a bracelet is made have and argument

It comes in different shapes, color and could be self-custom too. But the price on it is an argument as well as it is the brand and the popularity it has. The material, the quality, and polarized can have an argument itself. As you notice even the silliest thing have an argument but we normally don’t point attention to details like this or without noticed we are having an argument on anything. Most of the time we find ourselves in this situation even when we are undecided what to wear, in that moment we are having an argument we just don’t know
In the Introduction, Jay Heinrichs outlines the importance of Rhetoric in an Argument. Rhetoric is language designed to have a persuasive or impressive effect on its audience. Heinrichs also states that his reasoning for writing the book is to explain the importance of Rhetoric in an argument. In Part 1 Heinrich lays out the basics of arguing. Every argument has three steps.
On the morning of March 14, 1765, the first blow towards the British Government was thrown. In detail, according to a letter by Governor Bernard, in a central park of Boston an effigy, doll representation, of the stamp distributor, Mr. Oliver, was found hung from a tree. This initial blow to the law keepers of Boston came as a surprise, as they did not know how to react to the situation. The governor goes on to state that even within his council this initial blow was received with mixed emotions. To explain, some of the council members saw this backlash from the community simply as a "boyish sport that did not deserve the attention of the governor"(Governor Bernard, P 10).
Noah Augustine, former chief of Metepenagiag Mi'kmaq Nation, delivered a great essay on how culturally and morally ridiculous, it is to use Native symbols for sports team logos. He effectively talked about how offensive it really is to make ridicule of cultural symbols by using facts and real-life events. He is also helped by the use of analogy, diction and rhetorical questions to achieve this. Augustine, impressively used an analogy to persuade a wide range of readers as he makes a connection between other cultures and how they would feel if they were put in the same shoes as the Natives were in. He goes on to say, “Nonetheless, for me, as an Aboriginal person, the use of these religious symbols and caricatures of Indian chiefs or spiritual
In most recent discussion of the Chicago Blackhawks logo of the Native American head, one controversial issue has been that the Native American head is not racist. On the other hand, multiple resources argue that the logo is racist because it promotes a poor understanding of Native American cultures and negative stereotypes. I believe that the logo is not racist because it is remembering and honoring the Native American named Blackhawk. The Chicago Blackhawks were founded in 1926.
The three appeals that can support an argumentative claim are Ethos, Logos, and Pathos. Ethos is the appeal of credibility, why the author can be trusted. For example, I am a credible person to tell about this topic because I have lived through it and experienced what Sobriety Court is like on a family. Logos is the appeal of logistics, this can be with data and statistics, persuading the audience with reason. Such as if I were to list the statistics of those who dropped out in the first month of Sobriety Court.
Throughout the first month of class, I’ve learn many concepts from the assignments given which include ethos,logos, pathos,claims,rhetorical reading and writing and others. One concept I have grasp is rhetorical reading, which means persuading the audience to believe a certain value or idea ultimately is considered an argument. For example,as I analyzed the content in the article Hidden Intellectualism by Gerald Graff, I had developed the conclusion that the author attempted to convince his audience to agree with his claim, which in fact his belief was that street smarts should absolutely be valuable academically in schools. After analyzing the article thoroughly, I had the task of writing a rhetorical essay explaining if I agree with the point
Was the Boston Massacre Really a Massacre? One of the most common things talked about in the history of the U.S.A. is the Boston Massacre, but was this historical event commonly looked at as a massacre really a massacre. I believe that the Boston Massacre was not a massacre at all instead it was just the act of self defense of a few british soldiers that were being attacked by upset colonists. One of the most said things about the Boston Massacre is that the british soldiers fired into a crowd of innocent people, but there is many pieces of proof that says otherwise.
My argumentative its self was filled with rhetoric in the sense that every paragraph had some form of rhetoric. Not only did it show me how essential rhetoric is in papers, but it help me form an appreciation for rhetoric. In my writing 10 major writing assignment one I did an argumentative paper. In my argumentative paper I wrote about something very important to me, and that was the division that our country is now facing between both sides of the political spectrum and even genders. So throughout this piece it is very evident that rhetoric is being used in our daily lives such as movements like "Black lives matter" and "Make America great again".
Cohen said in his speech For Arguments Sake, (2013) “We want strong arguments, arguments that have a lot of punch, arguments that are right on target. We want to have our defenses up and our strategies all in order. We want killer arguments. That 's the kind of argument we want.”
When it comes to arguementation, the audience must be aware of the context and meanings of phrases and words. If they are not aware, then you can and will have a hard time winning that argument, becuase they will be confused and will misunderstand you. Rybacki and Rybacki (2012) Rhetorical perspecitice is basically a one person speaking with no audience iteraction.
Almost every assignment you complete for a history course will ask you to make an argument. Your instructors will often call this your "thesis" -- your position on a subject. What is an Argument? An argument takes a stand on an issue.
Teams at any level of competition, in every sport, have a mascot. The mascot is essentially what represents the competitive spirt and identifies the team, motivating both fans, coaches, and players. Although, the symbol chosen as a mascot does not have an impact on number of wins nor loses. The choice of a Native American mascot continues to initiate debate and controversy among fans, alumni, and athletes today. More specifically, the debate over the controversy surround the Washington Redskin football team.
As sports teams, making mascots is important. It can be something that will show their supporters how strong and unbeatable they are. Therefore, they need some imagery that is perfectly matched with their goal and vision. There are Native American imageries that are often used as mascots to show those needs. However, this act emerges many protests from many circles.
