What I have gathered is when Constructing Reasonable Arguments you really need to research a lot of what you are going to say and you need to have lots of backup. I think the biggest part of this section was really just rereading what you wrote and seeing if you can counter it. If you can counter it then you should rewrite it so you cant counter it. Which is extremely smart not only for the paper but for everyday life to. We love to be right and if you speak in a way so no one has a good response then you will often get what you want.
I read that you should state you position very early one and before even posting it start to give creditability and points to what you will be arguing. You must look at the people who you are writing to as if you have to convince them of what you are proposing. You can not go in and think everyone is on board. You must support your idea with evidence, facts, statistics, examples, and illustrations.
I plan to use this in my everyday life. I love to debate, or argue as some of my friends might say, so I think if I took this information I would be set. I will also use this in upcoming essays where I might need to hold a side of an argument. Maybe also in other essays to just further spruce it up by giving it more facts and truth behind the sentences.
