The Toulmin Method is a form of argument that utilizes many different key aspects of the art of arguing. Claim, the statement being argued, reasons, the reason behind the statement being argued, and the evidence, data used to back up the statement being argued. The goal of this method allows the user to be able to observe and break down the different parts of someone's argument.
An example of the Toulmin Method is the most recent abortion laws that have been made in several different states. There are many ways to go about discussing this topic, this website talks about the different pros and cons for abortion and the laws on it. This website is a great example of making a statement either a pro or con and then backing it up with reason and evidence. Though I will not disclose what I feel or believe about these recent events. I know that many people feel passionate about how America chooses to address abortion. I think that the Toulmin method has been lost in many forms of arguments, debates, and protests. This method of arguing provides an organization to the arguer's words, actions and beliefs that could help people listen to what they have to say. Below are a few examples of the pro, con statements.
