MEANING
•ARGUMENTATIVE TEXT, ALSO KNOWN AS ARGUMENTATIVE
DISCOURSE, IS INTENDED TO EXPRESS OPINIONS ABOUT A TOPIC,
OR FAILING THAT REFUTE THEM, TO PERSUADE THE AUDIENCE TO
WHICH THE MESSAGE IS ADDRESSED.
• THE AUTHOR OR SPEAKER IS WILL BE PROPOSED THROUGH
ARGUMENTATIVE TEXT DEMONSTRATE AN IDEA WHICH PROPOSES, TO
REFUTE ANY PERCEPTION THAT HE IS AT ODDS WITH THEIR IDEAS AND
THAT WAS MANIFESTED BY AN OPPONENT, FOR EXAMPLE, OR MAY ALSO
WANT TO PERSUADE A PUBLIC OR RECEIVER TO DO SOMETHING OR DESIST
FROM BEHAVIOR.
• WELL, THOSE VIEWS ARE NOW PART OF AN EXHIBITION THAT JUST BE
PROPOSED TO EXPOSE THEM BUT WILL ALSO PROVIDE A GENERAL CONTEXT
TO LOCATE, PLACE THE PUBLIC IN SUBJECT AND IN THIS WAY ACHIEVE THE
DESIRED EFFECT.
• ARGUMENTATION A TOOL FOR EVERYDAY USE
ARGUMENTATIVE TEXT IS PRESENT IN THE MOST VARIED FIELDS, IN
SCIENCE, IN PHILOSOPHY, IN POLITICS, IN JOURNALISM, IN JUSTICE, IN
ADVERTISING IN DIFFERENT MEDIA OF MASS COMMUNICATION,
DISCUSSIONS, AND OF COURSE IN EVERYDAY DISCUSSIONS THAT WE HAVE
WITH OUR CIRCLE NEARBY, AMONG OTHERS.
BY THIS WE MEAN THAT THE ARGUMENT IS A MATTER WHICH IS PART OF
OUR DAILY LIFE AND WE BOTH USUALLY USED AS THEIR HEARERS.
• PARTS OF THE ARGUMENTATIVE TEXT AND ELEMENTS OF PERSUASION
• IT BEGINS WITH AN INTRODUCTION THROUGH WHICH THE ISSUE ARISES
AND WHICH SEEKS TO CAPTURE THE ATTENTION OF THE PUBLIC.
IN DEVELOPMENT, WHICH IS THE NEXT COMPONENT, THE ARGUMENTS, THE
TESTS ARE PRESENTED AND SOME ISSUES THAT CONTRIBUTE TO PROVE OR
DISPROVE THE THESIS ARE INTERPRETED.
• METHODOLOGIES MORE CURRENT WHEN PRESENTING THE ARGUMENTS
ARE: TESTS THAT CAN BE CHECKED, PRESENTATION OF EXAMPLES, THE
OPINION OF A PERSON IS EXHIBITED AUTHORITATIVELY RECOGNIZED IN
THE MATTER EITHER CAN APPEAL DIRECTLY TO THE FEELINGS OF THE
RECEIVERS.
•AND THE FINAL PART IS THE CONCLUSION, IN WHICH MEET
THE MAIN ARGUMENTS AND THE THESIS PROPOSAL AT
THE BEGINNING. 
•EXAMPLE
•MODERN DAY TECHNOLOGY
• THE SOCIETY HAS BEEN DRAMATICALLY CHANGED WITH THE EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY. BEFORE THE
ADVENT OF MODERN DAY TECHNOLOGY, LIFE WAS BURDENSOME AND EVERYDAY CHORES CONSUMED
TOO MUCH OF OUR TIME. IMMENSE OPPORTUNITIES ARE BEING PROVIDED BY TECHNOLOGIES WHICH
PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN HUMAN LIFE. THE ACCESS TO EDUCATION, MEDICINE, INDUSTRY,
TRANSPORTATION ETC. HAS BEEN SIMPLIFIED DUE TO MODERN DAY TECHNOLOGY. DUE TO THE
CONVENIENCE AND EFFICIENCY PROVIDED BY TECHNOLOGY, OUR LIVES HAVE IMPROVED SIGNIFICANTLY.
• THERE USED TO BE A TIME WHEN EXECUTING A SIMPLE TASK LIKE DOING LAUNDRY WOULD TAKE MOST OF
THE DAY. THANKS TO MODERN TECHNOLOGY, A LOT OF BURDEN HAS BEEN LIFTED UP FROM OUR
SHOULDERS AND WE HAVE MORE TIME AND ENERGY TO DO WHAT WE WANT TO.
• WITH SO MANY ADVANTAGES AND COMFORT, COME THE DISADVANTAGES TOO. TECHNOLOGY IS BEING
USED IMPRUDENTLY THESE DAYS RESULTING IN AFFECTING THE SOCIETY NEGATIVELY AND
COMPLICATING OUR LIVES. RELATIONSHIP WITH FAMILY MEMBERS IS BEING WEAKENED DUE TO
EXCESSIVE INVOLVEMENT WITH VARIOUS DEVICES. ALTHOUGH IN A FEW CASES, PARENTS RESORT TO
TECHNOLOGY TO COMMUNICATE WITH THEIR CHILDREN AND KNOW ABOUT THEIR WHEREABOUTS BUT
THIS IS NOT ADEQUATE ALWAYS. TECHNOLOGY HAS MADE ACCESS TO EDUCATION EASIER BUT IT IS ALSO
RESULTING IN WEAKENING THE MEMORIES OF PEOPLE. USAGE OF TEXT LANGUAGE OFTEN IS HAVING DIRE
CONSEQUENCES ON STUDENTS. THEY FAIL TO SPELL WORDS CORRECTLY OR WRITE FULLY
GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT SENTENCES.
• MODERN TECHNOLOGY ALSO POSES SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEMS. PEOPLE ARE SLEEP DEPRIVED
NOWADAYS SINCE TAKING THEIR EYES OFF THEIR PHONE OR LAPTOP SCREENS BECOME A NEAR TO
IMPOSSIBLE TASK. THIS LEADS TO PROBLEMS IN VISION, CANCER, OBESITY ETC. WE HAVE BECOME
LAZIER. WE PREFER TO SITTING, PLAYING GAMES OR LISTENING TO MUSIC INSTEAD OF WALKING OR
GOING OUTDOOR OR PERFORMING ANY WORK WHICH REQUIRES PHYSICAL ACTIVITY.
• MODES OF TRANSPORTATION HAS INCREASED THE EASE OF ACCESS BUT HAS ALSO INCREASED THE
AMOUNT OF POLLUTION. DUE TO TECHNOLOGY, A BROAD RANGE OF OPTIONS HAVE BECOME ACCESSIBLE
TO PEOPLE. TECHNOLOGY HAS ALSO BENEFITTED PEOPLE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS BY PROVIDING THEM
WITH HEARING AIDS, TEXT READERS, SPECIAL CHAIRS ETC. NOW THEY TOO CAN ENJOY DAILY LIFE
WITHOUT HAVING TO THINK ABOUT THEIR DISABILITIES.
• AS A CONCLUSION, THERE ARE SEVERAL POSITIVE IMPACTS OF TECHNOLOGY ON OUR LIVES BUT THERE
ARE SEVERAL DOWNSIDES TOO. WE CANNOT ABANDON TECHNOLOGY NOW BUT WE CAN ENSURE NOT TO
LET IT CONTROL US.
