UNTANGLING ARGUMENTS very important topic...must visit

1. HELLO, IGNORE ME PLEASE… BUT AT YOUR OWN RISK. Prepared by- Shaswata Sengupta (Assistant Professor, Department of Linguistics, MAKAUT, WB) Let me talk about how to… UNTANGLE YOUR WAY THROUGH COMPLEXITIES…

2. REMEMBER: EVERY ARGUMENT THAT STANDS SUCCESSFUL HAD TO SURVIVE ‘ REBUTTALS ’ AND UNTANGLE THEMSELVES FROM THE GRIP OF OPPOSING ARGUMENTS TO EMERGE VICTORIOUS…

3. IT ISN’T AS EASY AS IT LOOKS UNLESS YOU HAVE THE SUITABLE SUPPLEMENTS WHICH CAN POTENTIALLY ‘UNTANGLE’ WHERE YOU ARE STUCK…

4. THE SUPPLEMENT STACK Assuring Informing someone that there are further reasons for what you say while not giving them one. You are buying time for yourself to think and perform more explosively to sweep away all opposition.

5. Discounting- Doing a bit of homework in order to anticipate objections which might be raised to one’s claims or arguments as a way to dismiss those objections. Your feet are firmer in this practice.

6. Guarding- The process of weakening one’s claims to make it harder to point faults at. This practice has dual benefits: The general human tendency is to oppose the one who feels that he/she is always right. As opposed to this, people generally spare one who owns up. ‘En Guard’ as you know your own weaknesses.

7. * Disarming Giving the opponent an opportunity to talk or asking for the opponent’s reason for disagreeing with you will help you gather an idea about his/her points or areas of strength before countering. Here you have the opportunity of disarming your opponents before they can strike because you have already taken away their points and are already prepared to counter them on their own turf while their tanks stand quite depleted.

8. Mirroring One of the most important criterion for emerging victorious when faced with Rebuttal is by ‘ Exercising your Empathy’. If you can understand people via careful reflection of their sentiments garnered through close listening, you can touch the root of the problem and find a solution to it… That is the practice of Mirroring . The whole point of Mirroring is to listen carefully to the rebuttal given and actively engage your thinking capacity in analyzing the rebuttal taking it off from preparing a counter-argument. Basically you have to repeat what the other person says aloud word-by-word to gain an in-depth understanding about what is being said.
