Synopsis:

This argument text is a brief reader-rhetoric, offering a clear and concise introduction to argument and exceptionally accessible explanation of the Toulmin method along with a thematic collection of 68 short arguments.

From the Publisher: Topics of Current Interest and Inquiry: Reading and Writing Short Arguments includes selections by or about:

PETA

Chuck D.

Regulating Cell Phones

Justice and Terrorists

Reparations for Slavery

Cloning Humans
Six Single Essays: The Single Essays on Controversial Topics section now includes arguments focused on new issues such as Census 2000 and race classification, free music online, and distance learning.
Images as Arguments: Part 3 now introduces students to the argumentation of political cartoons and advertisements, focusing on how to analyze and respond to persuasive images.
Expanded and Updated Guide to Research: Part 6, A Guide to Finding, Using, and Documenting Sources includes expanded and updated MLA and APA style guides, as well as more extensive coverage of plagiarism.
Casebook on Censoring Rap and Rock: This mini-casebook (Part 4) comprises over 10 written and visual texts on this high-interest topic.
10 Individual Arguments: Part 2 presents single essays on topics such as distance learning and fertility technology.
Introduction to Reading and Writing Arguments: The text opens with a substantial introduction that covers why and how we argue; what can and cannot argue; types of appeals; the Toulmin system of logic; kinds of arguments; fallacies; and how to read and write arguments.
Unique Appeals-based Apparatus: Post-reading questions in Current Controversies from Three Points of View are organized around the three types of appeals covered in the book's introduction: ethos, logos, and pathos. Additionally, a simplified Toulmin diagram of each reading follows the questions.
Three Longer Arguments: In addition to its 68 short arguments (averaging 2 - 3 pages each), this text also includes three longer arguments (7 - 9 pages) in Part 3: Martin Luther King's 'Letter from Birmingham Jail,' Elizabeth Cady Stanton's 'Address to the National Woman Suffrage Convention,' and Jonathan Swift's 'A Modest Proposal."
Six Controversies from Three Points of View: The Current Controversies section now includes arguments about terror attacks, SUVs, cell phones, same-sex marriage, internet censorship, and reparations for slavery.
