Present you’re viewpoint is a difficult task. No one is expected to persuade every reader or audience member, but you can get all of your readers or audience to think critical about your view. Moderately Easy Things you’ll need: Strong set of facts a command of your point of view a way to connect your points to the audience’s needs and wants Step1Tell your audiences why you believe in the point you are arguing for or against. People will not believe in something if they believe you don’t. Step2Present solid facts on what you are arguing for or against, or are trying to persuade your audience to do. Emotional appeals are fine, but when people are asked to believe in something they never thought of or don’t agree with the best way to get them on your side is to present facts that they can’t disagree with. Step3 Mention reasons why some people may not take your side. The point of persuasive readers is to get one’s audience to agree with his or her point of view, but everyone may not agree with you or have questions about what you are arguing for or against. By stating opposing viewpoints you recognize those members of your audience, show your audience that you are not blinded by your own personal view. But remember that you still hold strong to your views, and immediately after giving views different from your own that you tell your audience why your view is better. Step4Tell your audience how adopting your viewpoint can be beneficial to them. For example, if you’re trying to persuade your audience to quit smoking tell them how it will add more years to their life and save them money from not buying a new pack of cigarettes every week. Well, the important thing in this chapter is that when writing a persuasive paper, you need to think about whether you want to write on the whole issue or just one aspect of it.

Inductive reasoning, or fallacies, is reasoning from a specific case or cases and deriving a general rule. It draws inferences from observations in order to make generalizations. Inference can be done in four stages: Observation: collect facts, without bias. Analysis: classify the facts, identifying patterns o of regularity. Inference: From the patterns, infer generalizations about the relations between the facts. Confirmation: Testing the inference through further observation. In an argument, you might: Derive a general rule in an accepted area and then apply the rule in the area where you want the person to behave. Give them lots of detail, then explain what it all means. Talk about the benefits of all the parts and only get to the overall benefits later. Take what has happened and give a plausible explanation for why it has happened. Inductive arguments can include: Part-to-whole: where the whole is assumed to be like individual parts Extrapolations: where areas beyond the area of study are assumed to be like the studied area. Predictions: where the future is assumed to be like the past.

In order to understand what a fallacy is, one must understand what an argument is. Very briefly, an argument consists of one or more premises and one conclusion. A premise is a statement (a sentence that is either true or false) that is offered in support of the claim being made, which is the conclusion (which is also a sentence that is either true or false). There are two main types of arguments: deductive and inductive. A deductive argument is an argument such that the premises provide (or appear to provide) complete support for the conclusion. An inductive argument is an argument such that the premises provide (or appear to provide) some degree of support (but less than complete support) for the conclusion. If the premises actually provide the required degree of support for the conclusion, then the argument is a good one. A good deductive argument is known as a valid argument and is such that if all its premises are true, then its conclusion must be true. If all the argument is valid and actually has all true premises, then it is known as a sound argument. If it is invalid or has one or more false premises, it will be unsound. A good inductive argument is known as a strong (or "cogent") inductive argument. It is such that if the premises are true, the conclusion is likely to be true. A fallacy is, very generally, an error in reasoning. This differs from a factual error, which is simply being wrong about the facts. To be more specific, a fallacy is an "argument" in which the premises given for the conclusion do not provide the needed degree of support. A deductive fallacy is a deductive argument that is invalid (it is such that it could have all true premises and still have a false conclusion). An inductive fallacy is less formal than a deductive fallacy. They are simply "arguments" which appear to be inductive arguments, but the premises do not provided enough support for the conclusion. In such cases, even if the premises were true, the conclusion would not be more likely to be true.

There's lots of good information on the Internet, but you will also find opinions, misconceptions, and inaccurate information. Still the important thing is how to judge the quality of Internet resources, we should follow Criteria for Evaluation, we need to learn to evaluate the quality of information we find on the web as well as other information resources such as books, magazines, and television. To encourage the comparison and contrast different information resources, we need to consider the following ideas: Who says? Know the author. Who created this information and why? Do we recognize this author or their work? What knowledge or skills do they have in the area? What else has this author written? Does the author acknowledge other viewpoints and theories? Is the information biased? Think about perspective. Is the information objective or subjective? Is it full of fact or opinion? Does it reflect bias? How? How does the sponsorship impact the perspective of the information? Is a balance of perspectives represented? Is the information authentic? Know the source. Where does the information originate? Is the information from an established organization? Has the information been reviewed by others to insure accuracy? Is this a primary source or secondary source of information? Are original sources clear and documented? Is this information accurate? Consider the origin of the information. Is the sources truth worthy? How do we know? Who is sponsoring this publication? Does the information come from a school, business, or company site? What's the purpose of the information resource: to inform, instruct, persuade, and sell? Does this matter? What’s their motive? Is the information current? Consider the currency and timeliness of the information. Does the page provide information about timeliness such as specific dates of information? How current are the sources or links? Is the information helpful? Think about whether you need this information Does the information contains the breadth and depth needed. Is this information worth the effort? Think about the organization and speed of information access. At the end that would help us in determine if the internet resources are reliable in order to get a benefits and gain good information.

This chapter teaches both how to recognizing evaluative words in order to help you acknowledge what you already know and to inspire you to learn more by circle the word that express evaluation. The premature evaluations are evaluations made before we have taken enough time to make a fair study of a situation, and also bypass close observing and thinking, you have to be aware that the evaluations are not fact and require the support of evidence and clear reasoning. our minds tend to operate the evaluation comes easily and instantly, but inspection takes time and effort, we need to learn how to evaluate as well as re-evaluate in order to learn from personal and collective experience. We can say that the evaluations are opinions that can be openly or covertly expressed, it allows us to agree or disagree. Finally, evaluation measures performance, demonstrate program benefits, help improve effectiveness, and create an opportunity.
