The Art of Effective Argumentation

You probably think you're good at arguing, but you're likely not. We argue constantly,

but most of us are just bad at it. We state opinions without any support, pass along info

we see on social media without questioning it, and just echo others. Remember begging

your parents for something and your only reason was, "Because everyone else is!"?

That’s not a real argument. Argumentation isn't just fighting or attacking another

view. It’s about taking a position and backing it up with a reasoned case.

In a world designed to make you react without thinking, learning to argue well means learning

to think for yourself.
