Argumentation
What exactly is an Argument?
An argument involves the process of establishing a claim and then proving it with the use of
logical reasoning, examples, and research.
Using examples to support your argument
To use an example effectively:
1. Present a logical argument
2. Establish the logic behind the argument you are providing
3. Use the example to show how the logic has been demonstrated in real life
Rebuttal
Rebuttals are responses towards the other team’s arguments. Rebuttals should prove that the
other team’s arguments are not as important as they claim to be.
Types of rebuttal
1. Irrelevant to the point being proven
2. Error: argument is based on an error of fact or misinterpreted fact
3. Proof: lack of proof and explanation in the argument
4. Illogical:Argument is illogical, does not flow, lack of casual links.
5. involve unacceptable implications
6. Morally flawed
POINTS OF INFORMATION
• The QUESTION Form

• This format is basically delivering an argument as a question.
• E.g. in the death penalty debate a POI could be phrased as,
"Don't you think that the death penalty actually deters murder by increasing the
consequences?" or
" What do you say to the argument that the death penalty deters crime by increasing the
consequences of crime?"
The FACTUAL form
• Often a team may be relying on a certain example or factual piece of information to support
their arguments. If you have information that would stop them in their tracks, this is worth
delivering.
• For example if a speaker was arguing …
• That most asylum seekers are possible terrorists and criminals and thus we cannot open our
borders" a POI stating that,
'80% of asylum seekers are genuine immigrants and there is no statistical evidence that
terrorists come to South Africa via boats according to immigration stats' would be devastating.
The EXPOSURE!
POIs are useful to
• expose where a team's argument is lacking,
• where their arguments are contradictory, or
• where they have failed to rebut a key argument.
Suppose a team is debating that we should invade Iraq, and they are talking about all the
benefits of having the UN administering Iraq after the invasion. A POI may point out that,
"You're talking about all these benefits of having democracy in Iraq but have failed to rebut our
arguments about how invasion in Iraq is totally impractical and will not be possible."
Adjudication
What to look for from each team?
OG (Opening Government: Prime Minister + Deputy PM)
- Problem – clear? is the scope realistic?
- Definition – debatable? reasonable?
- Solution/Model – sufficient to solve the problem?
- Arguments
- Rebuttals
OO (Opening Opposition: )
- Response – clear?
- Solution/Counter model (if any) – - sufficient to solve the problem?
- Arguments
- Rebuttals
