Relax

Today I realized something. Most of the arguments end up in a terrible fight. Most of the people don’t know how to argue and pretend to do so.

Heinrichs points put a very interesting point. He states that if one argues to win then the argument will end up in an argument. He states that  “the purpose of the argument is to persuasive, not correct” (156).

He also talks about illogic thinking. To convince your opponent one has to try all the tips he has showed us. However one has to know when to use them. Some of the time when you identify fallacies one can end in a fight. Rather than identifying them one has to show the ways to trick your opponent and come up with an intelligent come back.

In this video, Candace (the girl) just tries to offend Phineas. Candace goal while saying “sucked into a videogame” was to offend him. Phineas decided to ignore that part of the offense and just take it as a brilliant idea for the day. They would get sucked into a videogame!

Sometimes you just have to let things pass. Like Phineas, he just ignored her sister and continued his day. He used his sister “offense” to create a plan that will make his day more interesting and fun. This is what Heinrichs calls the inarguable. This comment was just random, however if he had start to argue then it would of turned into a illogical fight.

In this chapter Heinrichs clearly states: “in most cases there is no right or wrong decision in an argument” (157). In other words one has to go with the flow, not stressing about what is right of wrong. My mother always tells me en la guerra y en el amor todo se vale. Arguments are more like a war of words; the one that convinces better using rhetorical tricks wins.
