In Class: Changed Perception of Argument

My view on argument changed a little but not too drastically. I have a better understanding how everything can be argument, though I am still a little bit confused and skeptical on some things. I am not exactly sure how or why an argument can take the form or meditations or prayer. I think my views changed in the sense that I always thought an argument entailed trying to change the views of another through reasoning, informing or convincing. When I think of the word argument, I will always think of a disagreement or a fight between different people. Maybe that is why I am confused about how prayer or meditation can be considered an argument, since that is usually an act done privately or alone. I did think the stasis questions were helpful in guiding me through the argument process supporting my thoughts and ideas. This chapter made me more aware of how I address the audience who may be reading my argument or proposal and how I go about making my point.
