Writing topic for chapter 48

Chapter 48 focuses on evaluating arguments. There are many ways we can evaluate arguments but does not necessarily mean that everyway is correct and fair to others. We all like to think that our argument is always correct but that's not good enough we need to get details and proof. An argument as first seems to be reasonable but turns out to be fallacious, unfair, or both. Unreasonable arguments are known as logical fallacies which is misguided or dishonest uses of legitimate argumentative strategies. When you write an argument make sure you're quoting opposing views to show some level of fairness.
When I start writing an argument I will make sure that I have enough supporting evidence to the readers. I don't want them to think that I'm just assuming. Another thing that I felt like was a great idea was that I should always quote the opposing sides view/argument. So that it shows that I'm being fair.
