Justifying: “It’s true that TV...<b>Notes and Examples</b><br /><br /><i>Justifying</i>: “It’s true that TV makes life more fun, because since we’ve had television, we don’t play card games any more.”<br /><br /><i>Refuting</i>: “It’s NOT true that TV makes life more fun, because since we’ve had television, we don’t play card games any more.”<br /><br /><i>Identifying the Standpoint</i>: One needs to watch out for indicators of standpoints such as “In my opinion…” and “I think that…” and for other expressions that suggest a standpoint such as “I conclude by saying that…” and “I hope I have shown that…”<br /><br /><i>Retrogressive Presentation</i>: “Children must learn not to instantly satisfy every urge they feel because otherwise they would sit in front of the TV eating chips all day long”.<br /><br /><i>Progressive Presentation</i>: “Children who watch television as much as they want to don’t get their homework. Therefore, parents should limit their children’s access to television".<br /><br /><i>Implicit Standpoints and Argumentation</i>: “Carla doesn’t ever want to see Bob again. She won’t call him.” Retrogressive presentation: “Carla doesn’t ever want to see Bob again, because she won’t call him.” Progressive presentation: “Carla doesn’t ever want to see Bob again, so she won’t call him.”<br /><br /><i>“Because” as a Cause rather than a Reason</i>: “The pudding didn’t stiffen because I didn’t put enough gelatine in it”.adilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03090740465031030702noreply@blogger.com
