I find the Toulmin method helpful in explaining and breaking down what a good argument looks like. It’s a purely logical method of making a claim based upon opinion but using facts warrants and backing to support the initial claim.

Z of medical progress. But these major advances have something in common: they were all developed and tested using animals. Animal experimentation is a contentious issue‚ but it boils down to two essential questions: does it work‚ and is it ethical? The first is easy to answer: it works.
