CR 6: Support

"All claim's in an argument- whether of fact, of value, or of policy- must be supported," (Rottenberg 174).

Appeals to the Needs and Values

Appeals to values

Our values are how we decide what is good or bad based off of certain principles

If you know that your audience and peers are educated in your topic, you will not have to provide as many supporting details and examples

Different terms such as responsibility, is seen differently in different groups of people

"Virtually all claims, even those that seem to be purely factual, contain expressed or unexpressed judgments,"(Rottenberg 202).

Abraham H. Maslow

Appeal to needs

Self Actualization, Esteem needs, Social needs, Safety needs, physiological needs

"These needs, said Maslow, motivate human thought and action," (Rottenberg 200).

Evidence and factual data is not enough. You will have to talk about WHY your claim is important to THEM

Evidence

"Images can also provide support for an argument,"(Rottenberg 183).

Pictures are great when reporting scientific research

If you can't decide between two opposing sides of evidence, you should just leave the argument as unsettled. Do not settle!

Opinions are based off of the quality of the evidence and the person behind the evidence

"Statistics are more effective in comparisons that indicate whether a quantity is relatively large or small and sometimes even whether a reader should interpret the result as gratifying or disappointing," (Rottenberg 178).

Diagrams, charts, tables and graphs are great when talking about statistics

Statistics: information in numbers

Hypothetical examples can help visualize examples

You can support a claim by providing factual examples

Factual evidence: statistics and examples

"When authors provide evidence in support of their claim, they primarily use facts, examples, statistics, opinions (usually the opinions of exports), and images," (Rottenberg 175).
