After reading through the types of arguments and taking into consideration the activity we completed in class, I believe a refutational argument would best suit my issue. Since I am in heavy opposition to aerosol injection and have already confirmed that in previous posts, the only type of argument that suits my belief is a refutational one. I plan on pointing out all of the flaws and fallacies behind this method. Having a severely negative viewpoint, using a refutation argument will greatly help to deliver my point across.

Reflection:
For this reflection I read through Victoria's My Rhetorical Action Plan and Considering Types as well as Evan's My Rhetorical Action Plan and Considering Types. Both of them did a great job at taking into the consideration of the needs of their audience and have chosen good outlets to publish their work on. Although Evan did a good job at analyzing his audience, he didn't provide any examples to where he might publish his work which may make it harder for him in the long run. Victoria also did the same thing as Evan. I feel like having examples to refer back to will be really helpful in the creation process, but to each their own. Victoria's issue has many religious aspects to deal with and she has realized the potential problems they may have, which is great. I am still feeling confident in the outlets I have chosen and believe that I have done a good job at considering the needs of my audience.
Your choice of argument seems to really reflect exactly what you will be arguing. It makes sense that you would choose this type of argument based on what you said about your own interests. I think you did a great job narrowing the choices down to this argument!
ReplyDeleteI think a refutation argument would be well suited for your topic. I'm curious as to why you wouldn't consider a causal argument. It just seems like it could be a good fit for your topic, but I may be thinking of it in another way. The plan you have at the moment seems well-planned, so I wish you good luck!
ReplyDeleteI think you've made a very good decision in choosing refutation as your style of argumentation. If you're pointing out all of the negatives of a specific topic, refutation fits the bill! Given that you have done research on this subject for your second project, this third project should go well for you! Best of luck!
