Different points of view

One of the main reasons why people argue is that they want to prove that they are right. A positive way to argue is to understand that we need to respect the points of view of other people. On the other hand, not listening and only imposing our own point of view without a good statement or valid argument is considered a bad way to argue. Having said that, an argument is a statement intending to persuade another person that you are right. I normally try to make my statements clear and also listen to the other side with a willingness to understand it. I want to make sure that we both understand each other's argument and keep an open mind.

Logos refers to the logical appeal of the argument. This can be done b

An image can actually say a lot, and in the text form of The Convention of Rights of a Child does not makes an impact as much as the picture version. As we know, pictures are a visual form to tell a story, deliver a message or appeal to pathos. When you read about the Convention of Rights of a Child does not make a big impact as when you see the pictures.  The Convention of Rights of the Child talks about children's right but it does not shows any emotions.  According with the article 34 says, "Protect the child from all forms of sexual exploitation and sexual abuse" and it shows how the little girl covers her face.
