I chose to talk about an article I retrieved from the covid19.ca.gov website titled “Vaccines” for my expressed argument. I chose this article’s argument for this discussion post because it is actually a prevalent topic in our Society. The argument discussed is how the vaccine is safe, effective, free, and the most important tool to end the covid 19 pandemic. The author attempts to back up this opening statement by including topics that promote that everyone should get it, what they know about the vaccine, a list of recourses of why you should get it, and even what rumors have been spread about it. With this information, it is clear that the author is telling people to get the vaccine because it is the best thing for everyone, which accurate medical research has shown is not the case.
This article I picked to stand for the implied argument is from the CDC. This article is titled “Key Things To Know About COVID-19 Vaccines”. The author of this article does not upfront try to persuade you to or not to get the vaccine. However, after analyzing the article, it is interesting that the author includes many “suggested” arguments for the vaccine, including talking about effectiveness, safety, population immunity, and variants. The author also states, “We are still learning how many people have to be vaccinated against COVID-19 before the population can be considered protected.” Which implies that people have to be vaccinated for us to be safe. This writing gives me, and I am sure much other good reason to believe this article is to persuade those who read it to get the vaccine.
It is essential to understand expressed and implied arguments because you will come across arguments of both types in everyday situations, whether researching for school, personal acknowledgment, or talking with some about opinions. In any of these situations, it is important to understand how the information is portrayed to you to understand how you should comprehend it. We should always have a structured stance on where our opinions stand when receiving the argument information the right way. Lastly, I can use my understanding of both of these arguments to create a better stance on information for essays for this class and the ones to come.

I loved reading your response to this article above related to COVID, it is extremely relevant to what is going on in the world today. There are so many types of Covid and it is oftentimes hard to know what is true and what is opinion in the media. Understanding expressed and implied arguments will help us determine fact vs. opinion in the media. This knowledge will also help us in future assignments and classes throughout our time with GCU.
What do you think about this analysis concerning understanding expressed and implied arguments will help us determine fact vs. opinion in the media. ?
