Rogerain Argument

     Alright so this sounds pretty simple to me. Basically you are going to write a structured debate, BUT, also include in some way an opposing view to your topic. This will give you a chance to disprove anything and make the audience lean towards your side.
     For example I am (hopefully) doing a paper on why fine arts funding should be either the same or more than athletic funding. An opposing view I could use is how parents think that their children being in sports makes them keep their grades up. And then I would point out that (this is a made up statistic) the average grade point average of an athlete in school is 2.6 and they only need to make a 2.0 to participate.
     I think overall you just need to present your evidence in a way that would make most of a general audience side with you on an issue. With that in mind you do have to make your "naysayers" be able to at least see your point of view if not fully agree with it.
     Hope you all have a great holiday!!
