Argument Structure

Every argument needs a basic structure to keep the argument ordered and understandable. A good argument has an introduction and a conclusion, premises, and maybe some sub arguments. The structure of argument is an important. It allows you to set the basics of your argument up in an understandable way for the listener to understand the main points. This is good because it allows you to set up sub arguments and go more in-depth into your argument without worry that the listener will not understand or lose track of the argument. An argument structure is not only good for the listener but for the speaker to it allows you to keep track of your argument and make it so you are clean fluent transitions which allows you to be more confident and precise when you present your argument. An example of a argument and its structure would be   “BP is a horrible company, they spill oil all over the gulf and do nothing to clean it up. It’s bad for the industries in the gulf as well as the environment itself.” This argument has a clear premise with the idea of BP being a bad company and a clean ending with their option on what the oil is doing to the environment.
