Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How Arguments Work A fundamental component of good writing was well known throughout the classical world . . . but is all but forgotten today. This concise, practical guide reclaims that ancient tradition. It shows you the simple way to craft persuasive arguments in and out of the classroom. In three decades teaching writing, Professor Gregory Roper has seen that students often fall apart when they get into the meat of their argument. He struggled to help them until he discovered this neglected piece of classical rhetoric. The dry name--stasis theory--obscures how practical this ancient device is. It teaches you that there are really only four kinds of arguments. Even better, the Four Arguments follow a sequence. By laying out that sequence, Dr. Roper takes the guesswork out of organizing your writing. Mastering the Four Arguments is full of practical advice. Dr. Roper breaks down each of the Four Arguments to show you the questions to answer and the tasks to accomplish. Every chapter includes helpful exercises so you can put these techniques into practice--right away. Dr. Roper also teaches you how mastering the Four Arguments helps you in any academic course--and in the real world. You'll know how to make a persuasive case whether you're writing a term paper or presenting to your boss. You'll even become a better reader and listener. Arguments are all around us--about politics, the economy, sports, music, you name it. Once you understand the Four Arguments, you will know a good or bad argument when you see one. And you will know how to respond more thoughtfully. Unlike other writing textbooks, Mastering the Four Arguments is slim, engaging . . . and affordable. Like Dr. Roper's first book, The Writer's Workshop, it is sure to become a go-to guide for students and teachers. Homeschoolers, classical schools, high schools, and colleges will turn to Mastering the Four Arguments.

From that day forward, we live with unconditional love in our hearts for ourselves, for life, for everything in creation.

You will come to understand how all arguments can be understood better by learning the four types of arguments, and then learning how to organize and persuade your audience of each type.

Download or read book The 48 Laws of Power written by Robert Greene and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2023-10-31 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this multi-million-copy New York Times bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control – from the author of The Laws of Human Nature. In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum. Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold and arresting two-color package, The 48 Laws of Power is ideal whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game.
