Arguments

To form a strong argument you have to, order your facts in a convincing way, to make a valid point. Not only does this have to be convincing to the reader, but you have to present your information in a sophisticated way. This will convince the reader to side with you, the writer, and you will have a successful argument. In the two interviews there are two different strategies used in order to gain the sides of the readers. In the first, Terence Smith, has interviewed many people on how the coverage of war has changed by becoming more high tech. He interviews people on how the reporting of was used to be, and how it has changed. What we actually see on TV or in your local newspaper is not actually the whole story with the war. The army can not take the risk of getting compromised therefore locations and live reporting are prohibited for the most part. This different arrangement of where the information comes from makes Smith's argument more effective. Next the interview with George Ritzer uses a different approach to capture the readers. Ritzer uses his knowledge and many facts to make a crucial argument. There are different ways to gain respect from your readers to understand your argument and these two interviews are examples.
