What Time Are You Planning On Coming Back Home
1) Review the dialogue example on pages 8-9. In a paragraph, describe why this example demonstrates that 1) argument is both a process and a product and 2) why argument combines truth seeking and persuasion.
This example demonstrates that an argument is both a process and a product by showing how the argument starts with the young person saying that she will be back home at 2 a.m. Then, the mother says she will not stay out till 2 and she will be back at twelve, thus producing the start of an argument. Then the argument progresses with the teenager saying stuff like “but I'm sixteen years old,” and then the parent can respond in many different ways and the argument progresses more. The example also shows why arguments combine truth seeking and persuasion by showing how the teenager uses the example of how her friends can stay out that long and the mother says that she was never allowed to stay out that late. Then the uses another type of persuasion saying that she should be allowed to stay out till to as a trial run to prove that she is mature and she won't get in trouble. …show more content…
2) Come up with your own script for this conversation between “parent” and “young person” in which the conversation evolves into an argument.
Have fun with this one.
Parent: What time are you planning on coming back home?
Young Person: We talked about this, I will be home at 2:00 goodbye
Parent: Oh no you will not (they say angrily) you will be home by 12:00
Young person: But I am 16.
Parent: I don’t care you are still coming home at 12
Young person: but all my friends will be staying out that long

3) Read the essay, “Millennials and Mentoring” that begins on page 482. Then, a) What is the main argument Erin Burns makes? Who is the intended audience for this argument? Does Burns want her audience to DO something or BELIEVE something? And, what? B) what examples and evidence does Burns make to support this argument? C) Do you think this argument should convince its audience? Why/why not?
Millennials have been mislabeled and the things they get called out on has been happening throughout history. The intended audience is people in the workplace, both mentors and mentees because even though the millennials grew up with technology the mentors have experience that they can use. Burns wants people to believe that Millenials are not as bad as they seem to be portrayed.
He uses information from a research article by Roberts, Edmonds, and Griljava that says there has been a generation gap between every generation in history such as and it is because of developmental changes not generational ones.
The argument should convince the audience because he has the research to back up his claim and he uses a lot of persuasion.
