Argument Strategies

Aristotle’s 4 main arguments 1. argue about what is possible or impossible 1. If people continue to eat foods with chemicals, it is possible that they will infuse cells that can develop cancer. 2. argue about what happened or didn’t happen 1. Because people continue to eat foods that contain GMO’s, the health risks have increased in adults and their future offspring. 3. argue about what will happen or won’t happen 1. If people continue to eat foods that contain GMO’s, they will inevitably become ill. 4. argue about how big or small it is 1. No matter how trivial the topic of GMO is to some in society, the results will heighten as people become more knowledgeable about GMO’s.
