Argumentation in daily life, argument and think of the negative connection however. Argument and persuasion. Define argument, making an argument expressing a point of view on a subject and supporting it with evidence is often the aim of the subject matter. Arguments are everywhere.

Topic: Same sex marriages Over 10years ago when there was not one single state in the US that performed gay marriages, opponents of such matrimonies enjoyed strutting around on the national stage filling air waves and newspapers columns with long argument about the decline of the family and the collapse of our values based society. After President George W. Bush rode to victory in 2004 election by playing on people’s fears about the creeping homosexual agenda, it seemed that the debate had been laid to rest, and prominent liberal democrats chose to downplay the issue for fear of hurting their party’s electoral prospects. What a difference 10 years make. Gay marriages is advancing rapidly across the nation, winning at the ballot box, in state legislatures and in the court room. The cause has energized liberals and demoralized conservatives, who are left to be moan the changing social fabric and the nation. Certain arguments against gay marriages are often referred to as empty, hollow or vaped. Well, why not make a book that illustrates this as utterly as possible? What way to better illustrate the meaning lessens of traditional arguments against marriage equality than reducing them to blank pages? Proponents of marriage equality have responded to these arguments in many way rationally criticizing specific points, discussing common values of love and inclusiveness and calling out prejudiced assumptions we have decided to take a different approach satire. Supporters of gay marriages hold rainbow colored flags as they rally in front of the Supreme Court in Washington, DC on March 27, 2013.
While supporters of traditional marriage are often presented as driven by emotion and religiosity and supporters of the same sex marriage are often presented a view, complete with foundational principles for state recognition of conjugal marriage while same sex-marriage supporters have failed to answer two questions that are central to the issue. Traditional marriage supporters have explained their view of what marriage is why it matters for society and why government should recognize traditional marriage for example here, here, and here. Same sex-marriage supporters on the other hand, have failed to address why they believe that reasoning is invalid, and to answer these two questions put to them by traditional marriage supporters. 1. Equality is an insufficient argument in support of same sex marriage because in order for two things to be equal, one must first define what they are, so what is marriage and why should it be defined that way? 2. Since the debate is about state recognition of marriage not what religious groups are able to do in the privacy of their congregations, each side of the debate should answer what is the public policy purpose of state recognition of marriage.
First the mobility, or willingness of same sex supporters to answer the central questions about their position was illustrated during the questions and answer period of a speech delivered by Ryan Anderson of Stanford University.
