What is an argument?
then,
“Everything is an argument”.
- What does this mean?
I imagine an argument as a way to convince somebody of something. Or maybe not a way to, but the {structure?} in which you accomplish that. I convince somebody in a genre (conversation, essay, ad) and within that genre, you form an {(circular, but an) argument} to accomplish your goal.
I can understand the term everything is an argument, by putting in the effort to say or do something, there is some goal, even if small. It can be as simple as kindling a friendship, or as complex as fighting for a change to city zoning laws. But by saying, writing, or doing something, some goal/end is usually motivating it all.
- It seems pretty self explanatory and evident, but also like there are some holes to it. Im not sure what counter examples would be?
- Humor or random remarks would seem to be the most natural counters, but here it is usually arguing for friendship, attention, or validation.
