"Everything is an Arguement" Quickwrite 9/20

  • What is the difference between arguement and persuasion?
     An arguement can be unintentional; the piece talked about how even a simple greeting can be thought of as an arguement. However, persuasion is always intentional because you are aware that you are trying to sway a person's opinion or thoughts on a subject.

  • If everything's an arguement in what way is a CV or resume an arguement?
     A CV or resume can be viewed as in arguement, in my opinion, because submitting one to a prospective employer is almost like arguing for the the position. You are insisting that you are the most qualified for the job and should recieve it over others. You are trying to argue that your skills are the most useful and persuade the employer to agree with you and hire you.
