So what? Who cares? and Using Rhetoric (Arguable Assertions)

          Using Rhetoric, Issue four talked about arguable assertions. Stating that speakers are always pointing out how circumstances have changed from one phenomenon to another. A good argument is a lot like a good conversation. This is when dialogs have been used to present arguments about many philosophical, social, and political issues. An argument also needs grounds or evidence to support your position. The four questions that need to be identified are what or (facts), how (circumstances), who (Relationships), and why (reasons). Think about the kind of evidence that will work in the correct context of your argument. When a claim is made make sure that you have supporting evidence to support that, and you will want to cite this to look more credible. Make sure that the claim has a firm connection to your evidence and present your reasons for making that connection. For each academic argument they are made up of paragraphs and in the paragraph there is evidence, analysis, implications, and/or context.

            So what, who cares is a funny article in the sense that it is very true what they are telling us, it's just relayed in a humorous way. Speakers don’t always address the crucial question of why their arguments matter. Rather than assume that that audience will know why their claims matter, all writers need to answer the “so what?” and “who cares?” questions up front. If we all do this while we are writing we might find some sentences that don’t fit as well as we would like with our proposition. We might realize that the message we are trying to relay doesn’t have the effect on others as we thought, and then we might consider rewording our statements. Who cares literally asks you to identify a person or group whom cares about your claims. So what asks about the real world applications and consequences of those claims!
