Nicholas explains in this essay that about how rough labor standards can be. He states the problem is that "it’s like a vision on hell" saying that the way life is being lived is not worth nothing, but something to some people. People are trying so desperately to survive off of very little. His purpose of this essay is to get the reader to identify how people are actually considering sweatshops as a job and a safe escape out of poverty. He appeals to pathos by saying " a woman hopes her 10 years old boy, scavenging beside her grows up to get a factory job, because she has seen other kids get ran over by garbage trucks". Basically saying that some people don't have a choice of a better life, a factory job is what they only see as a real future for their families. Nicholas states " sweatshops are only a symptom of poverty, not a cause" because it’s better than not just being productive at all, when at least you can have a low paying job with its diffic
What I have learned about arguments is that they are
obnoxious. They have different factors involved, most arguments are not verbal
they are written. Arguments are not a disagreement between two people, they are
more like trying to persuade a person on your opinion. Arguments could also be
seen as contradictions. Arguments happen so frequently no matter where you go,
you would catch them on TV, in a store, in a book, and even in your own house.
When argumentation occur you have to actually have reasoning behind it to
actually support your argument, otherwise it’s a statement based on your
opinion with no action. In most of my high school English classes I have had
formal arguments. To have a formal argument it has to be academic based verbally
or written. Outside of school I have more informal arguments over the smallest
things in the world. If you don’t have two debatable statements/opinions your
argument won’t really be an argument. Even though all arguments may seem to
only be two sided they really could really be complex and be one big group
discussion. Arguments based on real life topics are arguments that focuses on
politics, environment, local, and global problems because they have very
precise factual information to support the opinions on the individual topics.
Most arguments may seem like they are meant to be for winning or losing but
arguments are sometimes only trying to prove or identify a problem or trying to
fix a situation in your own way. When writing an argumentative essay you are
writing to people with different opinions who may not agree with you. So when
writing an argumentative essay you have to appeal to people’s reason, emotion,
and authority to be persuasive.
