I must admit, I never truly realized the “depth” that must go into a research paper. I have written my share of them, but now realize how much better they may have been given this information. Sure, I realized that all sides and aspects of the topic must me explored, but to the extent – I don’t think I realized the impact it may have! I thought the passage from Kenneth Burke about walking into a heated discussion was a great example of how research works. It is very important to research and cover all aspects of your chosen topic. Doing this will eliminate the likelihood of any argument arising about your topic that may have before caught you off guard.
Greene also opens with the statement, “Argument is very much a part of what we do every day.” I can’t tell you how much I agree with this statement! When I really thought about it I realized that the only way we truly get our points across about anything – is through argument!
