1) Before I started to read Chapter 1, I thought that the word argument had to do with a discussion two or more people; whether calm or severe to argue the difference in their opinions. After reading the chapter, I found that there are various types and forms of arguments.
2) Arguments are everywhere! If doesn’t matter whether there is a child/teenager arguing with their parents over being disciplined, to friendly conversation on two or more sports fans and their favorite team, and/or a returning military member/veteran coming from war and finding that there is no government support or jobs for them as they come home from war.

3) A Traditional argument is a person or persons that are making an argument with the means of persuading to convince an audience to change positions and agree with the arguer. An example of a (n) traditional argument is public debates (i.e.: presidential debates) or court hearing. A Consensual argument emphasizes an agreement. An example of a consensual argument are two team members that dialogue all their ideas to try and discover what will be their best position to on any issue or idea.
4) Conditions which are necessary for an argument to work best are: * An issue: An argument needs as its central focus an issue that has not yet been settled, or has become unsettled. * An arguer: Ideally every argument requires a person who is motivated to initiate the argument, to take a position on the issue, to obtain and consider information, and to communicate a position to others. * An audience: An audience for an argument, whether friendly or hostile, should ideally be willing to listen to or read and consider new views or perspectives. * Common ground: Effective argument requires the establishment of some common ground between the audience and the arguer that is relevant to the issue. * A forum: People need forums for argument so they can feel creative and know they will be heard. * Audience outcome: Successful arguments should produce changes in the audience.

5) Condition that may cause arguments to fail: * No disagreement or reason to argue: We have already seen that no argument can take place when there is no real disagreement, no uncertainty, or no possibility for two or more views. * Risky or trivial issues: Big or risky problems are difficult for some people to argue about because they can call for radical or sizable change. * Difficulty in establishing common ground: We have pointed out that arguments that lack common ground among participants are not effective. * Standoffs or fights that result in negative outcome: When arguments are not working, as in some of the situations just described, the outcomes are also negative.
6) Examples of Ethical Arguments: 1. It might be to plan for an effective and economical way to rebuild an area that has been destroyed by hurricane, floods, or fire. 2. Another type of argument that would be ethical would be military officers working together to conduct a joint operations in a safe and successful mission for their troops.
Examples of Unethical Arguments: 1. It might be an invitation to acquire a new credit card that tempts the user to incur a huge debt with high interest that will be either difficult or impossible to pay back. 2. Another type of argument that is unethical would be a parent or elder sibling negotiating to a child or younger sibling to have something done to their advantage knowing full well that they will not be keeping their promise to them (i.e. one sided deal)
7) In the world of digital argument, the type of audience has changed from a physical group of people which may be known to each other; to a nationwide or even global group of people who can log onto website, blog, social network, or even a online classroom to voice their opinions with or without knowing all the facts of the argument.
8) Four sources of arguable issues would be: 1. Cyber bullying 2. Government politics and healthcare 3. Environmental issues 4. Child rear ending in modern day
