Johnson compares argumentation and verbal aggression in exercising influence. Effective argumentation identifies weaknesses in evidence or reasoning of the other party. In a paragraph or two, identify and explain examples of faulty evidence and reasoning in the public argument concerning the ethical issues of either gun control or capital punishment. Draw or cite from websites, newspaper editorials, debates, public media, and arguments. Considering Johnson's discussion, do you see any shortcomings in your own argument that can be eliminated?
