Bad Example of Persuasion
It is obvious to anyone thinking logically that minimum wage should be increased. The current minimum wage is an insult and is unfair to the people who receive it. The fact that the last proposed minimum wage increase was denied is proof that the government of this state is crooked and corrupt. The only way for them to prove otherwise is to raise minimum wage immediately.

Syllogism
Premise 1: Minimum wage should match the cost of living in society.
Premise 2: The current minimum wage does not match the cost of living in society.
Conclusion: Therefore, minimum wage should be increased.

Premise 1
The purpose of minimum wage is to ensure that workers can provide basic amenities to themselves and their families. A report in the Journal of Economic Studies indicated that workers cannot live above the poverty line when minimum wage is not proportionate with the cost of living. It is beneficial to society and individuals for a minimum wage to match living costs.

Premise 2
Unfortunately, our state's minimum wage no longer reflects an increasing cost of living. When the minimum wage was last set at $5.85, the yearly salary of $12,168 guaranteed by this wage was already below the poverty line. Years later, after inflation has consistently raised the cost of living, workers earning minimum wage must struggle to support a family, often taking 2 or 3 jobs just to make ends meet. 35% of our state's poor population is made up of people with full time minimum wage jobs.

Conclusion
In order to remedy this problem and support the workers of this state, minimum wage must be increased. A modest increase could help alleviate the burden placed on the many residents who work too hard for too little just to make ends meet.

1. Samples
At the end of a hard day there is nothing better than slipping on pajamas, grabbing a bag of chips, and clicking on the television. For over eighty years, television has played many important roles in society since its inception from the Beatles appearing on the Ed Sullivan Show to the Survivor finale. However, some people say that television is a colossal waste of time. Even at it’s most mundane, television serves as an important and inexpensive form of escapism because people can relax, eat, and talk while the TV is on.

1. Sample
Childhood is a stage that we all pass through. It’s an important time where children develop their social skills. Children interact with parents, siblings, and other children. Some of these children are at their preschool. Although some television shows may allow children to see other children interacting, this is not the same as real interaction. It’s totally different. Television should not be watched by children during these important early years.
