3/16

 We started class continuing on reading "Thank You for Arguing". The three core issues would be blame, values, and choices. Blame equals past, values equals present, and choice equals future tense. Present tense is demonstrative while past tense is forensic. Also, future tense is deliberative, meaning the argument promises a payoff. We also discussed a scenario of coming home to find out your parents have been snooping in your room. My advice to the parent is do not go looking for stuff that you know can possibly upset you because now that you have seen whatever you was looking for, I will learn I will need to be more careful while you will just be mad and upset.
