Construct arguments in favor of getting a raise
Before participating in the discussion, please make sure you have completed the readings and have comprehensively analyzed “The Raise” interactive scenario to ensure you can fully address the prompt.
In “The Raise” scenario, you were asked to construct arguments in favor of getting a raise. Using the knowledge you gained from the “The Raise” scenario, pick something that you are passionate about and create an argument, either inductive or deductive, to present your strongest position on that issue. Present your argument in premise-conclusion form. View the following human rights videos listed under this week’s required multimedia:
