What are the types of discussions?
Argumentative writing can be divided into two types: argumentation and refutation. The relevant knowledge is as follows:

1. Argumentative writing refers to a writing style that establishes one's own position by putting forward and demonstrating the correctness of a certain point of view. This kind of argumentative paper usually expounds the author's point of view from the front, and supports his own point of view by citing examples, authoritative views or data.

2. Refutation refers to the writing style of establishing the correctness of one's own views by refuting the mistakes of the other party's views. This kind of argumentative paper usually refutes the mistakes or shortcomings in the other party's point of view and puts forward its own reasons and evidence to support its own point of view. Different types of arguments can be combined and used interchangeably to meet different argumentation needs and situations.

3. Argumentative writing is a positive exposition of things, clearly expressing one's views and finding arguments to prove the correctness of one's views; Refutation is to refute other people's views, put forward their own views, and find arguments to overthrow each other's views. The purpose of argumentation is to prove that the viewpoint or position put forward by oneself is correct.

Content of discussion

1. Causal argument: This way of argument is to demonstrate a viewpoint or position by exploring the cause and result of an event. It can help readers understand the causes and possible consequences of specific events, so as to support or oppose a certain point of view. Contrast, this way of argument is to support or oppose a point of view by comparing the similarities and differences of different things.

2. Inductive reasoning: This way of argument is to support or oppose a certain point of view by summarizing a series of relevant facts or evidence. It can help readers abstract general laws or trends from multiple specific facts, thus enhancing the reliability of argument.

3. Deductive reasoning: This way of argument is to support or oppose a certain point of view by applying general principles to specific examples. It can help readers understand the relationship between specific examples and general principles, so as to better support or oppose a certain point of view. Reduction to absurdity, this way of argument is to refute the other party's point of view by presenting evidence or reasons contrary to the other party's point of view.
