When sharing your opinion, even when talking with friends about movies, you are making an argument. You can support your argument with premises\u2014claims supporting your conclusion.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nThink about arguments this way: when a close friend asks for your opinion on a new movie, you are going to present your opinion of the movie while considering your friend\u2019s interests and background. You might say, \u201cWell, I know you\u2019re not a big action film person, but you will love this movie.\u201d That statement alone is not very convincing, but your friend is probably curious about why you would suggest an action film knowing that they don\u2019t enjoy them and they probably want to know what it is about this movie they will love. You might also say, \u201cIt was horrible and a total waste of time and money.\u201d In this case, you have not only shared your opinion, you have given reasons not to see it\u2014a waste of time and money. While your friend might wonder why the movie was horrible, they are already considering their own time and money situation: something they may not have even considered as part of the equation before. In both scenarios, you gave your friend a conclusion and the start of an argument based on reasons, or premises, you think are the ones that will work best with this particular friend.\r\n\r\nLet's review the key vocabulary here\u2014a\u00a0<strong>premise<\/strong>\u00a0is a claim, or piece of evidence, that supports the conclusion, and a\u00a0<strong>conclusion<\/strong>\u00a0is the main idea (or the \u201cso what?\u201d) of the argument, which is supported by the premises.\u00a0 Here's an example of an <strong>argument<\/strong>:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>You will love this action movie because, in addition to the exciting action, there is a really sweet love story.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nThe <strong>premises<\/strong> are: there is exciting action in the movie and there is a sweet love story.

Your argument is only as strong as your sources. Are they reliable? Do the points they argue make logical sense?[\/caption]\r\n\r\nIn addition to understanding the relationship between claims, premises, and conclusions, there are evaluations you must make along the way in order to determine the logic and strength of an argument. This evaluation is important for both evaluating arguments that you read and for academic arguments that you construct (essays or otherwise). An argumentative essay is one that makes a clear assertion or argument about some topic or issue.\r\n<h2>Arguments and Premises<\/h2>\r\nNo matter how well-constructed the argument is, the premises must be true or any inferences based on the premises will be unsound. It is not just about an argument seeming to make sense. The strength of the argument is based on the strength of the premises presented to make a reader see the conclusion as the most plausible result. If you offer weak or under-developed reasons to prove your conclusion, your reader is less likely to accept your conclusion.\r\n\r\nOne way to test the accuracy of a premise is to determine whether the premise is based on verifiable information, or a verifiable source (or person). If you were trying to buy a new snowboard and the person at the sales desk admitted to never having snowboarded before and then tried to convince you which snowboard was the best, you should evaluate whether or not that is the best source of information for such an important purchase.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_911\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"300\"]<img class=\"wp-image-911 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/courses-images\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5208\/2020\/06\/25022841\/PIXNIO-261646-2700x1788-300x199.jpeg\" alt=\"snowboards\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/> <strong>Figure 3<\/strong>. \u201cYou should totally buy this snowboard because it rocks!\u201d There is no solid reason, or premise, for the conclusion the salesperson is trying to get you to agree with, which is that you should buy a certain snowboard.[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<div class=\"textbox tryit\">\r\n<h3>Try It<\/h3>\r\nLet's consider the introduction to an essay by student Mariah Jackson, who wrote:\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Beauty pageants have become a staple in American culture. Winners of pageants such as\r\nMiss America are icons, representations of the ideal woman, and positive role models for young\r\ngirls. So society says. More recently, however, a new type of pageant has increased in popularity\r\nto the point of being considered a national phenomenon. These pageants are just as glitzy, and\r\nthe competition is just as fierce; the only difference is that these contestants are the miniature\r\nmodel. They are child beauty queens. The world of child beauty pageants has become a source of\r\nfascination, as well as contention, in our society. Networks such as TLC and WE TV have\r\nproduced hit reality shows featuring the munchkin-sized divas because it sells, but one cannot\r\nhelp but wonder, how can parading children about on stage like show ponies be a positive thing?\r\nThe truth is it is not. Beauty pageants are not a healthy activity for children because they force\r\nyoung girls to act like little adults, exhibit age-inappropriate sexuality, and have negative body\r\nimage and mental health problems later in their lives. Children are the future of society, and even\r\nthose who do not have children should be concerned about the direction of the culture they have\r\nto live in. Just because child beauty pageants are socially acceptable does not mean they should\r\nbe. Our culture needs to eliminate child beauty pageants, at least in their current form.<\/p>\r\nhttps:\/\/assess.lumenlearning.com\/practice\/6c6eb033-90b5-49dc-94a1-e939ee320ffc\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/assess.lumenlearning.com\/practice\/25903632-68da-4d95-95f0-81259780e4c0\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"textbox exercises\">\r\n<h3>Writing Workshop: Conclusion of an Argument<\/h3>\r\nRead a portion of this essay about recycling initiative on campus written by Emily Hanna from Oregon State University:\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">The new recycling system and education initiatives should be combined with a movement away from products that are the hardest to dispose of ethically and with concern for the environment. This not only limits waste, but also offsets some of the initial costs of the new endeavors. For example, the University of Maryland began using compostable takeout containers that cost a bit more than the old products (University of Maryland, 2010). However, they combined the use of these new products with an emphasis on using reusable plates, cups, and silverware. As a result, the food services produced less waste, needed fewer takeout containers, and spent less money.
