Create an Argument. Before participating in this discussion,

please make sure you have completed the readings and have comprehensively analyzed “The Raise”interactive scenario to ensure you can fully address the prompt.

In “The Raise” scenario, you were asked to construct arguments in favor of getting a raise. Using the knowledge you gained from the “The Raise” scenario, pick something that you are passionate about and create an argument, either inductive or deductive, to present your strongest position on that issue. Present your argument in premise- conclusion form. View the following human rights videos listed under this week’s required multimedia:

 Gem Slaves: Tanzanite’s child labour – Part – 1 Why women count video clip collection: Southeast Asia, Pacific, Caribbean, Latin America  Children and human rights, part 1: Rights & wrongs – Human rights television Child labor, part 1: Rights & wrongs – Human rights television 

Focus your analysis on a specific contemporary human rights issue. You can use an issue from these videos or use what you learn in these videos to address another specific issue that is of interest to you.

Use the “Steps for Creating an Argument” template (found in the online classroom) to help you structure your response. After you have completed the argument template, you will then be able to use that template to write out a narrative response in which you cover all the elements that were included in the argument template.

You must post to this discussion on at least four separate days of the week and your posts must total at least 600 words as you address this discussion. This means that, in order to receive full credit, your first post must be completed by Friday at the latest (Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday would satisfy the four-day requirement). However, we encourage you to get into the discussion early in the week and begin interacting with your classmates and professor. Remember to post on at least four days in the week.

Guided Response: Read the reflections of your classmates and analyze the issues that they identified. You might consider playing devil’s advocate to bring out more detail in the issue. You might also fill in areas that you felt your classmate missed. Did your classmate present a convincing argument? Why, or why not? Which part of the argument do you dispute (premise, conclusion, structure, etc.)? How might the argument be strengthened?
