An Argument

What is an argument? 

Well, an argument can be a lot of different things; it's in the conversation that you have with your parents over the choice of your major, it happens when talking about your March Madness bracket, and it it's also in the 11 AP Language and Composition test. Arguments are everywhere and they happen all the time, whether we know it or not; they’re a part of everyday speech. Persuasion is how we make our arguments seem credible; it’s what you use whilst asking for ice cream, it’s what you use when begging to stay up late, or even what you have to use when asking to stay home from school.  The point is arguments and persuasion are everywhere and there is no escaping them. We, as a society, have to learn how to structure them to help us succeed. Some may say that argumentative and persuasive people show us the greediness of society, but that is wrong. It is natural for someone to want something and if a person can get what he/she want with just words, isn’t that impressive? Arguments have been taking place since the Stone Age, proving that this is in fact human nature and that arguments are natural and happen normally.
