Rules for writers ch 48

This weeks rules for writers was on something a bit different than essay writing. It was about arguments and how to provide a fair, fact filled argument, and how to avoid a stereotypical, generalization in your arguments when trying to express an opinion. It Is very important to avoid things like this to: 1.better show your opinion and to 2.actually win an argument. When people argue some tend to make things like assumptions, hasty generalizations, or bring up unfair emotional tactics. This chapter teaches us how to distinguish this and gives us good examples of them. To summarize what I learned, I should probably look up the complete facts, use unbiased information, don't group people infairly and watch for proper statistics when making an argument
I think that this weeks reading will help me make a persuasive essay and debate. I will always make sure to check facts on both sides before developing a full oohing about things.
