Discussion 2.3: Biases

From the videos I learned the importance of the assessing the value of my resources and information that I have. It is a very good idea to first figure out what information you already know so you have an idea of how much information you still need to attain. Another helpful idea is researching all perspectives of a topic, especially in for a persuasive speech. I have experienced on many occasions a speaker try to convince the audience that their perspective is the best, and when a rebuttal comes their way they get caught off guard and their argument falls apart. A crucial part of making an argument is deconstructing the opposing argument.
