The Tools of Argument: How to Think, Argue, and Win

“Arguing is the olympics of talking.” —Stewart Stafford
 
We empower our TTK students with the skills of expressing their beliefs clearly and concisely. If they are going to argue, we want to be sure they do it well and with good training. We will teach them how to reason with clarity, relevance, and purpose, preparing them to stand up for themselves in controversy, public speak with ease, and debate on a variety of subjects. We will also cover fallacies, especially in the world of marketing. Our class is designed to equip and sharpen young minds in preparation for a complicated and sometimes just plain tricky world.
