Argument Information
I'm fairly comfortable with the knowledge I've gained regarding arguments up to this point. I hadn't previously known about pathos, logos, and ethos so that definitely helped me and I suppose we could perhaps delve into some more famous examples of these. I guess I would just be interested in seeing examples of historic/classic conflicts and what the traditional arguments for each viewpoint have been. Seeing how an argument in a broader spectrum might help in arguing more narrow points. In sociology we learned that for a social movement to work you have to step outside of the situation and see yourself within history and I think this could be applied here. If we look at overall themes it will help with the detailed points within the argument.

I am not sure, if I'll be able to address these issues in class, but you might want to look at arguments about voting rights, abolition of slavery, and segregation. If you are interested in a more traditional argumentation, try reading ancient and medieval arguments.
