- The aim of argument that should have been used was arguing to inquire.
- They violated the aim of argument by taking the issue personal like Steven Colbert did and should have looked in other people’s eyes to see why they are for or against the issue.
- What the two speakers violated was they were not openly constructive to criticism from each other and both got really sensitive. The second thing was we did not understand the argument’s contexts because they were just shouting and being very personal of the issue. Lastly, the third was they did not consider any of the audience’s opinion on the matter and was just a personal discussion between Steve Carell and Steven Colbert.
- By not sticking to an aim or using the criteria for responsible reasoning it had no final verdict of the argument. The issue was left still open for argument because they both did not find a higher ground or solution to what they were trying to prove towards the issue.
- What could help by following those things towards assignment three is that it will keep me on track throughout the paper. I will be able to speak my opinion in a mature way and being able to hear what the audience around me has to say. The aims of argument and the criteria for responsible reasoning guides me throughout the assignment to get me the grade I want and to be a great writer.
- Sally’s proposed solution is very controversial because she is taking shots at the recruiters, coaches, and the presidents of these academic programs illegally paying players to go to their respective schools. Also to the point where if these athletes are not getting paid and doing a bunch of labor. Sally says if the athletes were able to major in their specific sport there would be less corruption going on within the recruiting business. Mostly, the athletes will side with sally because they are the ones going through this and can relate the hardships of being a student athlete. Who would disagree are the presidents and the trustees of the schools because it is just another issue they have to face as a school and does not want a bad rep for it.
Claim: If schools would stop being half ashamed of college sports and using athletics as a ticket for profit they could cure all the corruptions happening within the school.
Reason: Illegal recruiting, paying athletes, for example university of Miami scandal.
- Claim: Students should be able to major in just the sport they are playing.
Reason: Varsity athletes deserve significant academic credits for their incredibility long hours of training and practice.
