Okay, to get things started, let's chat about things that you'd like to get better at getting out of. I hope that studying argumentation will empower you to speak your mind in a way that doesn't wreck all of your childhood friendships, yet gets your point across effectively. I, for one, hate going to Arden Fair Mall. My friend George, however, loves it because she is weird. Some how, she always gets me to go with her expert persuasive tactics and positive "spin." She makes claims such as: Oh, I heard Pottery Barn was having a sale, or, My Doctor's office is right near the mall...to get me to forget about my opinion and go stand in long lines and buy carbon copy clothing that I will eventually donate because I don't want to look like everyone else. She is a master...How might I use argumentation skills to escape her powerful shopping abilities? I need your help! What types of arguments can I try? Tell me how you have successfully handled a similar situation...

I would suggest to George to save a trip and the headache of fighting traffic to cozy up next to her computer. Not only does almost every store in Arden have a website, but usually there are better sales online. Save the money on gas to buy that mass-produced, on-sale T-shirt instead !
