When writing a discussion is important to be precise to avoid misunderstanding so that participants could be engaged and have a clear idea of our definition. For instance, if someone write about truth without specifying what whom thinks about that the readers will not understand it. Furthermore, if this is ignored, they may fall in vagueness which means the lack of definitions to explain their posture in a specific topic. As a result, your argument will be poor. In other words, being precise is important to make sure everyone understands in the same way we think so that we will avoid fall in vagueness.
If we fall into vagueness or ambiguity our argumentation could be consider as a poor one. Ambiguity happens if our ideas are not clear, logical and persuasive so people could not follow what we want to argue. Therefore, our argument is going to be interpreted in different ways which weakens the message. For instance, if we want to write that Ecuadorian’s education should be improved. We are falling into vagueness because we are not specifying in what education should be improved. To conclude, vagueness and ambiguity affect clarity by leaving arguments incomplete unable to be properly understood.
Emotive language is when writers use words that can trigger strong feelings in audience to make them hesitate even though the argument has not any evidence. This can lead them to slant arguments because we write what we are feeling without providing facts. Furthermore, this type of writing is risky due to the manipulation of the opinions of the readers in an unfair war. For instance, if a president calls a group of protesters as rioters it can cause a negative image. It is known that the words are powerful for convincing people about posture, but it is important to notice when someone is trying to manipulating us because this type of writing promotes hatred or fanaticism for something.
Logical fallacies are errors at the moment of reasoning making the arguments weak. Ad Hominem is when someone attacks the person instead of their argument. For instance, if two persons are debating about a topic and one says that the other was the worst student in their classroom and for that nobody should listen that argument we are falling in a fallacy. Another fallacy is slippery slope which means to exaggerate a consequence without any evidence. For example, a teacher says that if students eat in classes, they are going to skip classes as a consequence. Hasty generalization is when someone make a conclusion with poor evidence or thinking that everyone shares the same. Finally, appeal to ignorance means that someone thinks that something is truth even though it has not proven yet. For example, the existent of ghost is not proven so there are people who thinks that ghost exist because of that.
