Arguments That Argue Social Issues Has to Be About Some Real-World Thing

Arguments That Argue Social Issues Has to Be About Some Real-World ThingArguments that argue social issues have to be about some real-world thing. And that some real-world thing has to be a concern of the audience and/or some of the other people who are part of the conversation. Here are some examples:'Abortion is wrong. Please do not allow abortions to be performed. Allowing abortions is destroying America. You are destroying the very principles of this country. Please help us!'What we've seen with the particular pro-life movement is that they usually have arguments about the specific problems that they're dealing with, which is abortion. They also have debates about whether abortion should be legal or not. But they also spend time debating what the purpose of the movement is, what the moral issues are, what the moral code is and so on.There are other issues, of course, as well, but those are usually the key ones. So, I think it's safe to say that if you want to understand how to ma ke an argument for a social issue, you need to understand the way in which people react to different issues. For example, when someone raises the issue of abortion, the common reaction is shock and horror.When someone raises the issue of abortion in a pro-life group, the reaction can be completely different. The pro-life advocate might look at the debate as an opportunity to inform people about the moral problems and the pro-life organizations' position on those moral problems. (In fact, he might feel so strongly about this point that he would simply not try to raise the issue again.) And if you look at the response of a pro-choice person to the pro-life group's argument, you might see the extent to which social issues play into the conversation.It's the same thing with the pro-choice issues. If someone raises the issue of contraception as an issue, the pro-choice advocate is more likely to see the debate as an opportunity to educate the people in the room about how contraceptives w ork, why they should be used, etc.And then there are arguments that say, 'Yes, that is a good point, but I support women's health care options.' Again, the argument for abortion is more likely to come from women than men. And the pro-choice advocate will respond by focusing on the moral issues rather than talking about abortion.Because of the way women are conditioned to think, they respond differently to social issues. That's what's so interesting about these examples. One might say that it's not the way in which the topic is raised, but the way in which the topic is raised is important. And that's true.
