Does being selective about information infer argument?
\nWhat if the person selecting the information has no intended purpose for the information, i.e. motive?
\nTake the media, would you go so far as to say that the media producing a news broadcast about violent behavior in the inner city and ignoring the local art museum’s opening of a wing devoted to paintings about bambi was an actual argument?
\nCan you turn actions into arguments?
\nIf you woke up this morning and put your feet into a pair of shoes, is it acceptable to say there was an argument for such an action?
\nAre we responsible for the arguments people interpret from our work?
\nIf we make actions into arguments, can we hold the person performing the actions responsible for the argument we derive?

\n–Don’t get me wrong, there are no motives behind this question. I’m curious about this because i used to argue this with Trey all the time. I don’t believe you can turn actions into arguments. Arguments are tools of persuasion and therefore if there is no real method of persuading going on then there can be no argument. I learned this from Critical Thinking with Dr. Berkeley. A description of Hirojima can be pure description, and is not in fact an argument against american hostility. (it could be an argument against american hostility if there are enthememe’s hidden within the work, but that is neither here nor there)<\/p>\n
I’m seriously concerned if i might be incorrect in this aspect. <\/p>\n
Some of the effects of such a belief is that i would have to re-evaluate my whole lifestyle for hidden arguments. Can wearing shorts be interpreted as an argument against jeans?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
