Learn the skill of rational argument.
Perspectives on Argument teaches students strategies for critical thinking, critical reading, research, and writing that will help them participate in all types of argument. The 9th Edition extends beyond reading, visual, and multimodal argument into the timely topic of online argument. Students will encounter argument at home, school, and on the job. This book arms them with the tools they need to identify controversial topics, form opinions and reactions to text and pictures, and write persuasive papers that express their viewpoints. The book also follows the premise that not all arguments involve right and wrong. Students will learn skills like finding common ground, consensus, withholding opinions, negotiating, and even changing beliefs when they can no longer make a case for them.
