toulmin

The section on Toulmin was pretty interesting because in one of my classes we are covering toulmin arguments and writing essays using his rhetoric style. It's interesting how today most people only care about arguments and reasoning instead of the quality of the information quality. The style Toulmin uses leans towards logos appeals. It makes sense though because if you make an argument seem reasonable people will accept it and support it whether the information is right or wrong. I think you see a lot of arguments made in this style primarily among politicians and political candidates.
