3 approaches to arguments!

1. The Rogarian Approach

2. The Tomlin Approach

3. The Classical Appproach

   • Developed in the 5th century B.C. by Greek Philosophers
     • Easily understood by the audience
       • Based on "Formal Logic." Otherwise known as Syllogism
         • Syllogism:
           • A basic reasoning technique using deductive arguments in which a conclusion is based off of two premises
             • Deductive: Reasoning based from general premises leading to specific premises
             • Deductive Vs. Inductive
             • Inductive: Reasoning based off of specific premises that can infer larger, general premises
             • Example:
               • All people have hearts
                 • John is a person
                   • Therefore, John has a heart.
         • The Classical Approach is Heavily based on 6 main commponents
           • Introduction: Let's the Audience know who you are and any credibility you have to offer
             • Statement Background: States important background information that leads up to your claim
               • Proposition: Your claim. States the position your taking based on the background information.
                 • Refutation: Anticipates the opposite claims only to refuse them, and show why your solution is the greatest.
                   • Conclusion: Sums up all your important points, and a good place to appeal to your emotions and feelings on the subject.
