Stuart Greene

Stuart Greene argued the importance of using argument in a research paper or debate. Since we all have the ability to form our own opinions, it is important to have argument. What jumped out most at me was the story about the girl who went to the Dominican Republic, which was an example of framing. As some others in the class, I enjoyed the framing part of Stuart Greene’s article. One phrase that jumped out at me was, “…framing encourages you to name your position, distinguishing the way you think about the world from the ways others do.” As I mentioned above, opinions are very important in argument, and distinguishing your thoughts from others is a must when creating an argument. Overall, the article was helpful at best.
