Burrito Smackdown...

Last night I watched as two of my friends got into a heated debate about which restaurant is the best: Freebirds or Chipotle? I found their argument very different from the arguments that we have to make in class. They used claims like ______ is better because "the people are cooler" and "it just tastes better" and I found the grounds for their argument to be very weak. They could have strengthened their argument substantially if they would have said something like "Chipotle is healthier than Freebirds", "Freebirds is cheaper in cost", or "Chipotle is more environmentally friendly than Freebirds". They could have also incorporated a statistic Because of what I have learned in class this semester, I was able to recognize their weak arguments and claims and when I find myself in a situation I will remember to use strong/relevant support for my arguments.
