Week 1- Post 3 Chapter 2 Concept

The concept that really caught my attention was in the Epstein text "What Are We Arguing About?" It really caught my attention because arguments are formed from simple communication issues. We all know that everyone has their own way of speaking and communicating with others. Everyone thinks differently so some people may interpret others in a different way. The different level of communication with others may cause stress and annoyance to oneself because it's hard to fully understand someone else's thought. Subjective claims, objective claims, the use of being ambiguous and vague, and even defining something is discussed in this chapter. Many people including me, confuses subjective and objective claims. Arguments are stirred up when one can't understand another, especially since everyone has their own opinion. Being vague and ambiguous occurs in one's everyday life. The lack of the knowledge of many vocabulary also is a huge factor in the frustration of communication.  We need to strive to understand these concepts that causes us miscommunicate with one another more so arguments won't form.
