An Argumentative Paragraph On One Of The Issues On The Four-Tusked Elephant, Following The Structure Of Argument Outlined By Toulmin

             It doesn't mean that a researcher surely can achieve his/her goal and conclusion who is abided by ethics while performing research (claim) . We can take many examples of researchers who weren't able to complete their research abiding the ethics. They lack sufficient data and information regarding the research (ground) when abiding by ethics so they might have to involve themselves in ethical breach but not the one who values ethics (rebuttal) . Here, In the essay "THE FOUR-TUSKED ELEPHANT", Armand Denis had also the same situation. He couldn't extract clear and sufficient information from the people easily (warrant) . He had to bribe those people so that he could extract information and can go to the conclusion (backing) . Also, Armand had to involve himself in hunting and transportation of skull and tusk which is also against the ethics (backing) . Thus, A researcher may have to follow unethical practices to achieve the goal of research.

An Argumentative Paragraph On One Of The Issues On Mr. Know All, Following The Structure Of Argument Outlined By Toulmin

Changes in an individuals perception hardly change despite finding evidence contrary to the perception. People don't like changes as they assume that these changes might cause loss of control, uncertainty and uncomfortable in life. Even if they find out themselves wrong, they won't fluctuate towards the change. People are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves; they, therefore, remain bound. Here in the story "Mr. Know All", the sentence said by the narrator, "At that moment, I did not entirely dislike Mr. Kelada.", also clearly reflects that despite finding out that Max Kelada had a good heart, the narrator didn't completely change his perceptions of Kelada by the end of the story. People won't change their views even when evidence or facts are shown against that.

An Example To Demonstrate The Elements of Toulmin's Model Of Argument

                 Killing Of Animals Should Be Strictly Prohibited                   Killing of animals should be strictly prohibited everywhere (claim) because it leads towards the extinction of animals (ground) . Killing of animals also make imbalance in the ecosystem (ground) . Recent studies show that almost (qualifier) 70% of the dead animals are killed on the roads by the vehicles than by hunters (data) .                   Prohibiting on killing of animals can be helpful for the nation as well as for the animals too (warrant) . If the killing of animals is prohibited, the species of animals won't extinct and will balance the ecosystem (backing statement) . Moreover, if we prohibit killing of animals, the number of animals will increase and these animals can be taken as a medium for tourism development (backing statement) .                   It can be said that animals kill other animals too but, it is a part of  natural process (rebuttal) . Human themselves have reduced
