Inventing an Argument

Arguments are everywhere, and are used for just about everything.  It is a very useful tool when one can create a good argument.  There was even a job created around the ideal of arguments, a lawyer uses arguments for everything.  There are ways to make arguments more effective than others though.  That is how lawyer's win the trial.  An argument can be just a statement but it would be a very weak argument.  It is as easy as adding supporting information.  Supporting information will then be the basis of the argument and give the argument credibility.  An example of this would be the argument, "My phone is the best."  Now with an supporting information, "My phone is the best because it organizes my daily life, and allows me to do homework without carrying a bulky laptop."  Now the argument is much stronger.
The tone of the argument can also help the effectiveness of the argument.  If the argument sounds hasty or mean then one may take it the wrong way and reject it.  Some easy ways to make sure someone will listen is to make sure the argument is calm, and straight forward.  Asking your boss for a raise with a snobby voice is going to get you fired, but if you ask calmly and explain why you deserve it there is a much higher chance of success.
