Question

The Power of Critical Thinking - Lewis Vaughn

Use the four-step method to judge this argument:

The best way to build an argument is to cite credible sources and stay focused on the facts of the issue. If we put too much extraneous information in our argument, our readers will get lost and forget our best points. If we rant and rave about the truth, no matter how important that truth is, they will have no reasons to believe us. So, we should always be objective and stick to the facts.

Answer 1

Four step method includes

1. Analysis : Analyse the data relevant to the argument

2. Interpretation : Interpret the date to create actionable solutions

3. Presentation : Present the argument in a compelling manner

4. Evaluation : Evaluate the argument thoughfutlly

The best way to build an argument is to cite the credible sources which is possible when you build the data relevant to the argument. When you cite the credible sources, you are stating it that your data is properly analysed. When you stay focused on the facts of the issue, you are making it easier to interpret. When make your argument precise, you are making your arguments very compelling in nature. We should not rant and rave about the truth, you should make the other person believe what you believe but not force him believe the same. So we should Evaluate our arguments on our own and wait for the results. So credible sources (Analysis), focused on the facts (Interpretation), precise and best points (Presentation) and Evaluation of the argument within ourselves are key for the successful argument.
