What Is An Argument?
• Destructive Argument- A person disagrees for the sole purpose to win the argument. The “winner” feels superior. It is not positive and usually does not help matters.
• Constructive Argument- A person truly wants to find a valid solution to the disagreement. The goal is to arrive at a better conclusion.

RESPONSIBILITIES IN AN ARGUMENT
• Burden of Proof - providing "good and sufficient" reasons to accept the claim.
• Burden of Presumption - providing reasons to maintain the status quo, reject the claim.
• Burden of Rebuttal - the obligation of both sides to respond to each other. Remember, silence equal consent, in other words, you agree with the previous argument.

The Toulmin Model• Grounds: what you have observed either
first hand or second hand.
• Warrant: A general rule which links the claim to the grounds.
• Claim: The conclusion of the argument. What the arguer is attempting to convince the audience to do or think.
• Backing: Specific support for the grounds or warrant. Where did it come from.
• Reservation: Reasons why the warrant does not apply. Exceptions to the rule.
• Qualifier: A word or phrase which suggests the degree of validity of the claim.
