Reflection Questions:
1.How does the Rogerian model of argument help you better understand the topic that’s being discussed?
Why is it a good practice to acknowledge both sides of the argument?
The Rogerian model helps me put both sides of an argument into perspective. If I can put myself in the shoes of anyone who is for and against a topic, I can better form my argument to address their views and come up with a solution that can satisfy either side. It helps me to be more objective instead of jumping to one conclusion right away.
2.Will you use the Rogerian approach in your own argumentative essay? Why or why not?I believe I’ll use the practice of putting each side into perspective, but I think in order to be truly argumentative, I will want to take one side of the issue. I think it can be difficult to stay in middle-ground for certain arguments, and I have a bit more passion for that argument when it comes to my stance
