My personal communication style would depend on the situation. If its something that I feel strongly about, there may some emotion in there and a lot of words. Writing is different for me. If it requires me to write about something personal then that comes easy. Having to write about a specific topic is a little harder for me. 



I have learned that an academic argument is an evidence based defense on a complex issue. It has four basic elements,claim,evidence,counterargument and rebuttal.


A recent argument that I experienced was the inconsiderateness of my sister. She wanted me to watch her children even though I told her I have plans. She still insisted to press the issue about this. I felt like she was being selfish and did not care about the things that I had to do. I told her that she can't ask me at the last minute. Its just not fair to me and what I have going on. She finally listened and agreed that It was last minute. We thought about it some more and came up with a solution that worked out perfectly.

 

 

 My personal communication style is… Aggressive. I am the queen bee of my household. If what I want or need isn’t taken care of, people will hear about it. I will not allow others to override me, even my mother-in-law gets rolled over when something I want or need is not followed.

                I have learned that an academic argument is… a point that somebody wants to make to convince the reader to see things their way. When you are arguing, you are trying to fight for your position.

                A recent argument that I experienced was… My stepdad had a ring that my sisters and me had been promised by dead mother, and instead of giving it to those whom it was promised, he decided to give it to some random woman that I did not even know existed. Needless to say, I was not pleased, and told my stepdad as such.

                After reading the course materials,I have questions about… When me and my brother were looking through the book to read, there were some issues with the .EPUB version where many of the images and the text were drawn on top of each other. Do you know of any ways to rectify this, short of using the PDF versions?

 

thanks....
