Fight Club

Because of fight club, I have gained better strategies and skills in order to help me form an argument. I can come up with points to mention that will back up my side of a debate. In a verbal argument, it is easier to compare both sides and get the opposing sides’ opinions in order to form counterarguments. You can also ask your opposing side questions and make your argument stronger by contradicting the your opponent’s statements. Although, I find it easier to form my arguments in writing rather than verbally. It is hard to come up with things to say on the spot. I find my arguments make more sense and are better when I have time to think about it and come up with relevant examples to back up my opinion. My arguments are also more valid when they are written because I can do research on my thoughts to make sure they are legitimate examples. In a verbal argument, you are more likely to say things that are irrelevant or things you aren’t sure are true. But, there are advantages to verbal arguments. The major advantage to fight club is being able to counter argue your opponent, and you also gain argument development skills in your overall writing ability.

  2. It is interesting that you find it more difficult to support an argument verbally rather than in writing, but you back it up well saying that you have more time to think when writing which will ultimately lead to a stronger response.
