Rebecca Jones. “Finding the Good Argument OR Why Bother With Logic.”, Volume 1, 1965, pages156-159 166-168 |
| Summarize the article — include your reaction, thoughts, anything to help you remember its claims. 100 to 150 words |
This essay is about arguments and people’s perception of them. It explains how arguments are never looked at as a way to learn and discuss views but rather they are seen as “war”. The part of the essay where Jones explains it in a political debate environment really stuck out to me. She describes that the arguments are more of a speech than an argument and that this is how most arguments happen and I 100% agree. |
