The purpose of an <a href="https://www.turito.com/learn/english/argument-grade-10">argument</a> is to either change other people’s point of view or convince others to accept a new point of view. 



Critical thinking means being able to make good arguments.&nbsp;



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Arguments are claims backed by reasons that are supported by evidence.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>



<li>Claims are statements about what is true or good or about what should be done or believed. Claims are potentially arguable.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>



Arguments are divided into four general components: 



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Claim</li>



<li>Reason</li>



<li>Support</li>



<li>Warrant</li>
</ul>

It expresses the view of a person who disagrees with your position (Oldham).&nbsp;



A rebuttal is when you respond directly to your opponent’s argument/point to explain/show how/why they are wrong.&nbsp;<div class="fillWidthInMob"><a loading='lazy' class="showAdInAllRes" data-toggle="modal" data-target=#homeLeadForm data-heading="Get Expert Guidance" href="#"><img class="img-fluid" alt="parallel" src=https://a.storyblok.com/f/128066/1100x230/00b28b4876/11-applying-for-collages_leaderboard-1100x230.jpg /></a></div>
