My topic that I picked is on Ritalin.
*Re-evaluating the way Ritalin handed out and prescribed. *Re-evalutaing how children are being diagnosed.
1. Is there an alternative way of handeling the childs problems?
2. Is Ritalin necessary to use and when is it?
3. Is there an underlying reason for the childs actions? What are their health, family and home life background?
Rogerian Rhetoric

The Rhetoric way of writing an argumentative piece, seems to me to be very effective and more so than how one would normally write about their argument. When You write about just one side of the subject you seem close minded and un educated. You need to have a strong base for your beliefs on the subject you are arguing about and to do that you need to know both sides of the story to come up with a conclusion. For example, when the police are investigating a case they do not take one persons word or side of the story as the truth. They interview all of the people who were involved, people who knew them. They look at the evidence and then which ever story is closest fitting to the evidence they examine that. In the end they find a conclusion but it takes a lot of work to find because they have to look at the case from everyones views. This is the same with the Rhetoric way of writing. You have to look at the issue from a bunch of different angles and without a bias. You have to be respectful of the opinions or other ways of doing things to get the underlying value of them. It may be hard to not try to win the argument but you will have better feedback and more people willing to listen if you focus on figuring out the best way to resolve the issue.
I really think this is a great way to resolve a conflict and to have people listen to your opinion, even if they disagree. The only thing I am having a tough time with is trying to find an issue with which I can write on and how would be make it effective. What would be the best way for me to set up the paper so it flows properly?
