With The Word

What does argue mean?

The definition of argue, according to some online dictionary is to put forth reasons for or against. One can argue through any type of media, since it is not restricted, by definition, to a single or small group. Audio, Visual, Touch, Taste, Smell. All of the senses can argue. A nasty smelling food that tastes good argue with itself. The smell puts forth reasons against eating. Most college classes will make one present arguments in paper form. That is, writing paper about arguing a point.

In English Composition 1020, students are to compose argumentative papers based on the broad topic of the class. Whether the class be about body/image or Harry Potter, the topics will be arguing points from the subject matter. I am currently enrolled in English 1020 Internet Life. The topics we could possibly discuss were covered in a previous blog, but I'd like to explore one more closely.

What is WoW doing to the world?

This is an extremely broad topic, and it could branch off in one of a hundred directions. I could speak of the alternate reality that children these days are attached to, or the multi-million dollar industry that it has created. I could talk about why kids play, or why not. WoW is such a huge global entity, I could teach a class about WoW.

My point of explaining the different items I could discuss shows the multitudes of information available for the class next semester. I can talk about anything, so long as it has two or more sides.
