1st Rule of Fight Club


      Fight club occurs once a week and, is a sort of program which is designed to teach us students how to construct and perform verbal arguments in the presence of others; sometimes over topics we don't relatively agree with. It's a very helpful assignment which teaches its participants the standards of a well constructed argument.
      Due to fight club I found many things significantly helpful in regards to crafting my papers. For one it showed me how to establish my position: the key to a sound argument is an unwavering stance. If you want someone to truly believe your argument you yourself must be convinced to believe it as well. Never once can your ideas or beliefs shake in regards to your topic or else you will lose all credibility in your audience. The hardest part is the actual convincing part, even though you can craft an argument both on paper and in your mind doesn't necessarily mean that anyone in your audience will actually believe you. Sometimes even if it is a good argument someone still won't believe you, thus the thick-skulled nature of our society. The hardest thing to accomplish in writing is just the physical charm and appearance, something about actual human reaction is much more powerful than trying to convince someone with just words on a paper. When you're in the actually presence of someone it's much easier to connect with someone on a personal level and thus aid in the convincing process.
      In the end the argumentative points of fight club help in regards to crafting a convincing argument on paper; however, nothing is quite as convincing as human interaction during an argumentative setting.

  1. I agree with your point of how the most difficult part of argumentation is convincing someone to believe in your position and adopt or at least recognize your viewpoint. I also agree how this may be much easier in person rather than through writing.
