Argument Analysis: Collaborative Negotiation

Improved Essays
For unit four our group came up with a lot of interesting explanations on what it means to be ethical and Ella discussed this the best in her post when she suggested that Larson 's (1998) three criteria 's is the best tactic to use because it makes both persuader and persuaded just as important because “all persuasion is self persuasion” the firs criteria Larson brings up is: "when both sides have an equal opportunity to persuade and if each has approximately equivalent ability and access to the media of communication" (p. 11). The second criteria is: "there should be a revelation of agenda, where the audience is made aware of true goals and how they will be achieved" (Larson, 1998, p. 12). Finally, when persuading "the presence of critical …show more content…
Collaborative negotiation is defined as which is a non- confrontational persuasive tactic that is often used to focus on interest not positions. (Hocker& Wilmot, 2003) During the Webex session this week Adam discussed an example about an orange in which someone has an orange and somebody ask for it as well rather than give the orange away the person ask why do you want the orange. Then the other thus, proceeds to say so he can give it to his horse. Collaborative negotiation helps expand the context. Collaborative negotiation also focuses on common interest, however for it to work it must include three behaviors assertion, argumentativeness, and confirmation. Victor and Ella both used this in their post and used different examples for each tier. I discussed this in attempting to persuade my brother to go see Circa Survive with me, I asserted the following I use this tier of the process to express once again my irrational fear of highway driving and to also persuade him given his musical taste that he will like the band I am recommending. For the argumentativeness Ella was attempting to persuade her roommate to use less power by saying “arguing and emphasizing that I 'm just trying to find common ground where we can compromise but that she needs to see it from my point which also applies to me. Finally, during confirmation we confirmed why expanding the discussion is so crucial for this tactic to work. As discussed during the Webex session arguments should not have just two outcomes there should be a multitude of

    In the article Horizontal world the author applies diction to help further her argument the upper midwest is better than the west. A example of this is where she says, “the region was equally unimpressive. This word choice set the reader into seeing an opposition on her views. This gives the writer the ability to further argument by countering it, which she does in fact do by giving a short story of the history of the upper Midwest. This covert counterargument helps her keep her paper’s disguise as an non argumentative paper while helping her verify her claim to those who doubt her…

    This became a major issue due to the fact that in order for NAGPRA to apply, Native American tribal groups must be able to provide evidence that the remains discovered had been buried on what was once or currently. Thus in the eyes of the Native American community, to deny their claims of being the descendants of the Kennewick man equates to denying their religion and traditions. (Jones 2005 cited by Sayer 2010: 112). This is due to the fact that according to oral tradition and religious beliefs, their ancestors were placed there over 10,000 years ago however the Supreme Court did not rule oral tradition as viable evidence of that particular tribe inhabiting the region at that time (Herman 2015: 181). Thus while NAGPRA was created to settle…

    On the other hand, the distributed self would suggest that how people experience the world and make sense of it is primarily a result of socio-cultural processes, which varies over time and space. Constructionists conceptualize depression as an identity continually renegotiated via linguistic exchange and social performance. They would argue that the biological attitude excludes the social and linguistic dimensions of experience from consideration; social constructionist perspective is essential to understand how subjectivity and meaning are constructed in language and social interaction. For example I will briefly discuss the argument of gender differences in depression and how social constructionists consider that through looking at the ‘material discursive’ practices it is the pressures of society, which causes depression. They argue that a certain pressure is thrust upon women to be doing activities that fits the ideology of being a ‘good woman’ this can exhaust the woman’s body therefore causing depression.…

    In his article “Argument as Conversation”, Stuart Greene attempts to purpose the proper way to make arguments into intellectual conversation. Whether you are in class, or spending some time with family, arguments usually happen and are a unique part of everyday life. As Greene states in the article, “Argument is very much part of what we do every day; We confront a public issue, something that is open to dispute, and we take a stand and support what we think and feel with what we believe are good reasons” (Greene 28). With that being said, Greene believes that arguments are already very much like a conversation. However, there are multiple things one must understand before joining such conversations.…

    B.J Diggs believes that communicator’s role is defined by the situation, audience, and society when determining the criteria for judging ethics. Diggs’s situational perspective stresses five guidelines the communicator (or persuader) must consider to be deemed ethical. The communicator should have a right to communicate about the subject and have “adequate knowledge of the subject and of the audience needs and responsibilities” (Ethics in Human Communication, pg. 73). The communicator must also have an obligation to speak about the subject at hand. Diggs suggests that the communicator uses “morally right communicative means” and should urge the audience to use the “wise and right course” of action (Ethics in Human Communication, pg. 73).…

    This week reading understanding school failure in the Mexican origin population I found the three arguments of poor academic achievement categories some to astonishing. For instance the genetic argument that is when talent is allegedly inherited and “certain groups of people are genetically more able than others” (p. 16). I believe that this argument is discriminating because it is possible to increase the academic achievement of children by using the proper educational methods. As for the cultural argument I believe that it has more logic because often children struggle in school do to the language. Plus, culturally different student have the inadequate school resources do to the mismatching of schools and their academic success weakens.…
