Discussion: Was That an Argument? – Brainstorm 2

Question

At the start of this module, you wrote one sentence on a piece of paper that provided an example of one of your own recent arguments. Return to it now and consider: Was it argument? persuasion? or propaganda?

Instructions:

(1) Click on reply. In a brief paragraph (50-75 words), explain your argument and determine into which of those three categories you would place it. Why?

(2) After reading the various posts, write a brief response (25-50 words) to one post that you agree was closest to the purpose of argument (rather than persuasion or propaganda). Post your reply.
