“On the Book The Life You Can Save ”After you have read the Toulmin Argument content in the module and reviewing the Sample Toulmin Essay, use the 6 parts of the Toulmin Method and share how you will organize your rebuttal essay:Claim—statement of opinion that the author is asking the audience to accept as true.Grounds—facts, data, or reasoning upon which the claim is based; the grounds are the facts making the case for the claim.Warrant—links the grounds to the claim; what makes the audience understand how the grounds are connected to supporting the claim.Backing—gives additional support for the claim by addressing different questions related to your claim.Qualifier—the limits to the claim or an understanding that the claim is not true in all situations.Rebuttal—when the author addresses the opposing views.ExampleClaim—Peter Singer’s argument that people should donate all “extra money,” relies on the false dilemma fallacy that people can only donate all “extra money” or nothing, when, in fact, people can donate any additional funds after first taking care of their present and future financial responsibilitiesGrounds—add facts, data, or reasoning as to why your claim is valid (ex: statistics on number of people who regularly donate)Warrant—connect your facts, data, or reasoning to your claim (ex: many people donate to charity resulting in ample funds to support people in need)Backing—since many people donate regularly to charities, Singer’s argument to donate all “extra money” is a fallacy; therefore, people should continue to donate what they are able to in order to ensure funds are available to support people in needQualifier—many people do not donate any funds when, in fact, they do have some “extra money” to donate to support others in needsRebuttal—Singer’s argument does present a false dilemma, because donations are not a give all or give nothing decision, so even though there are many people who have “extra money” to donate but decide not to regularly donate all “extra money,” they can still donate seasonally or when there is a dire need as a result of a devastating earthquake or hurricane to support people in need.
