The Nature of Argument

After reading the "Preface," "Introduction," and Chapter 1 in your course text, The Rulebook for Arguments, consider the nature and purpose of argument. Consider the different forms that arguments can take. As you prepare for this Discussion, be sure to focus on rules one through seven presented in Chapter 1.

With these thoughts in mind:

Select two of the rules that either you or one of your associates have broken in the past.

Illustrate an example of an incorrect and a correct use of each of these two rules.

Discuss why the rules are important in formulating strong arguments.
