more I would like to know about debating

I love when classes have practice debates. One side of a argument vs the other side. They are usually very fun and are good practice.

I would also like to watch a serious debate on a certain topic.

I would like to see examples of previous debate papers.

Audience blog

The audience for my paper is a man just graduating from college and trying to start a family. James Doe I will call him. James is 24 years own and married his girlfriend toward the middle of his senior year in college, he has gotten a internship at a well respected law firm and his wife is working at the local hospital. He is trying to decide for himself if gun control is necessary. James is trying to decide if he himself needs a handgun to defend his new family. He wants to know if it is right for each person to purchase a weapon. James already has previous knowledge with firearms as his dad and him went hunting a lot when he was in high school.
James is wondering if in this world firearm control is needed. I intend to enlighten him of the effects of gun control and show him examples of what it has done. I hope for James to be able to make a logical decision of what he thinks after reading my paper. I wish to show him that everyone has the right to defend themselves and there families from harm and danger.

last argument

My dad believed that I had taken the ear piece that connects to his cell phone. He believed that I took it with myself down to Mankato and when I returned home two weeks later I acted like I had just found it laying on the floor(which I had). I told him I had found his missing earpiece in the computer room on the floor behind the table. He said that he had searched the computer room and found no such ear piece and also claimed to never had been in the computer room. My counter claim was that the ear piece had been missing for over 2 weeks and I recall seeing him in the computer room with it, also what reason would I have for taking a ear piece that probably does not work with my phone. We never resolved the argument I just walked away.

Logical Fallacies

Its hard for me to think which Logical Fallacies that I use the must. I often thought while I was research my Fallacies how I use it. I use Red Herring when I am either in trouble or in a embarrassing situation and try to switch the subject of the conversation. I try to include a topic that is irrelevant to the conversation to distract the person I am talking to and make them think about that. I have used it on my friend before when we where discussing a embarrassing subject, I asked him to stop but he continued so instead I asked him a question and tried to make him forget about the original subject. I believe Red Herring is the Fallacie that I use the most.

personal essay

I liked the personal essay more then the last essay. I knew what I was writing about alot better. I did not like sharing my story with the people in my class it was kinda embarrassing. I think my paper is ok, I think it was the best example of a life changing event I could think of. I knew my rough draft had alot of spelling errors and I think I fixed all of them in my final draft. I believe I did a very good job on my paper and I hope my grade reflects the same.
