Why i chose Comply and Fall

First, choose one (1) of the essays from the “Issues Facing the International Community” listed in the “Supplemental Readings” section of the course lessons. Then, let the reader know why you chose this particular essay. Does this essay discuss an issue that is facing you currently? Next, discuss whether or not your essay is peer-reviewed. How do you know? State the claim of the essay. Then, discuss how the author proves this claim. Is the author using the Toulmin method? Make sure that this essay contains all of the necessary components needed for the Toulmin essay: specific claim, opposition, and a rebuttal.

After completing the first section, consider the following. During week five, you created an argument using the Toulmin model. Have you used this style of argumentation before in your studies or career (either verbally or in past writing assignments/projects)? Will you use it in the future? Why or why not?

 Your initial discussion should be at least 200 words

  A claim of fact is a statement that something exists, did exist or will exist. Where a claim of fact asserts this is the way it is, a problem-based claim asserts this is the way it ought to be. A claim of definition helps the reader understand in which category a person, thing, act, or event belongs or does not belong. A claim of evaluation asserts that something is good or bad. A claim of cause looks at the causes or effects (consequences) of something. You learned in the last lesson that a warrant is an underlying assumption or inference that the writer takes for granted. Backing may take the same form as support for a claim (facts, statistics, logic, expert testimony and so on). Qualifiers are words or phrases that writers use to set limits on their assertions to prevent them from being deemed as applying universally. Qualifiers are probable rather than absolute. Rebuttals remind you to look at your argument as a skeptic. Look for the holes that might be poked in your argument. Look for opportunities to attack your claim and to challenge its support, warrants, and backing.
