Week One Discussion #1: Initial Arguments on your Topic

For this discussion, choose a topic of interest for which you feel you could create a strong

argument on both sides or choose from one of the following topics: [List of suggested topics].

In your initial post:

◦ Present the strongest argument you can on two different sides of your topic. Make sure to put

both arguments in standard form, with the premises listed above the conclusion.

◦ Without taking sides on the issue, consider and discuss two of the following questions: Do

these arguments represent the best arguments on each side of the question? What more can

we do to better understand those on the both sides of important questions? In what ways can

this kind of exercise can help you to look at issues more objectively and fairly? What more can

people do to understand the views of those with different perspectives on this and other topics?

Do you think that understanding issues as strongly as possible from multiple points of view

could promote a better life?

Guided Response: In addition to your own post, post a minimum of three responses, two of which

must be to your classmates. The third response could be to a classmate or your instructor. Be

sure to post on three separate days throughout the week to promote further engagement and

discussion. Each response should be a minimum of 50 words.
