The term of argument is designated as that reasoning, generally part of an oral or written speech, through which the person who expresses it will try to convince, persuade, make him understand or summarize a interlocutor or to a wider audience, on a certain issue.
The two fundamental elements that should never be lacking in an argument for it to achieve its objective will be consistency and coherence., which is the same as saying that the arguments of a speech have some meaning or significance for the audience to which they are addressed.
Then and as we commented very succinctly above, an argument can be oriented to support a belief new, solving a mathematical problem or to convince an audience about the adoption of a certain position or belief.
This last case that we mention is the most common within the arguments, since almost daily we are faced with the arguments that have as their main purpose the persuasion. From the advertising commercial, passing through the speeches of the politicians to the preaching of the various religions, are made up of arguments that focus preeminently on achieving the change of
attitude or acceptance of an idea by people.For example and as we pointed out, the politics It is one of the areas that during and throughout its history have made use of propaganda based on highly persuasive arguments for their purposes.
Politicians, in addition to the plans they promote to improve quality of life of citizens who are ultimately the ones who will decide their active participation Whether or not in political life, they should prepare extensively in terms of rhetoric and speeches with eloquent and effective arguments, as these will mark the success or failure of their campaign. Although of course and as the popular saying goes that necessity has the face of a heretic, many of these arguments are characterized by a veiled manipulation to achieve their purpose.
