4. Accuracy: Data shouldn’t be used unless it is accurate and up-to-date, and it can’t be persuasive unless the audience believes in the writer’s credibility. Faith in the accuracy of a writer’s data is one function of ethos.
Argumentation: Purposes
1. To convince other people to accept—or at least accept the validity of—your position 2. To defend your position, even if others cannot be convinced to agree 3. To question or refute a position you believe to be misguided, untrue, or dangerous without necessarily offering an alternative
Evidence: Different Kinds
• Authoritative (expert testimony): Not all opinions are equal. The opinions of experts are more convincing that are those of individuals with no specialized knowledge. In the end, what is important is not just the quality of evidence but also the credibility of the person offering it.

Is argumentation something new to you? No! Like language itself, argument is something you have known nearly your entire life. The first time you tried to talk your parents out of making you go to bed, yohen is an argument?
Argument, then, is nothing new. Still, just as college composition classes help you to improve language skills you already have, these same classes—and others in history, psychology, chemistry, and every other discipline—can help you to polish your argumentative skills.

You are to watch a film entitled, My Big Fat Greek Wedding. As you watch the film, take note of the different arguments which the characters/people in the film used to explain their views. Enjoy the film and make sure you take down notes for next week’s recitation.
An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a definite proposition.
When offering an argument, you are offering a series of related statements which represent an attempt to support that assertion — to give others good reasons to believe that what you are asserting is true rather than false.
Argumentation is the process of forming reasons, justifying beliefs, and drawing conclusions with the aim of influencing the thoughts and/or actions of other people.
