Argumentation, Critical Thinking & Debate

Is Jon Stewart Right?

 Here is a link to an interactive, online "case" a student and I have been working on, raising the issue of what kind of arguments does America need.

Be sure to watch the video, linked at the bottom under "resources."

Check out "the arguments," which are some of the main arguments people make on this issue.

If there's a quiz, I'll ask you to summarize one of these arguments in a couple of sentences.

If you like, there's also a "media gallery" containing examples of various ways of organizing arguments, and also a library of theorists who have talked about this subject.
