On your blog, identify the key features of Rogerian argument, and discuss whether or how you think it might be useful to you in your final project for this course.
Rogerian argument is arguing to negotiate differences. Carl Rogers emphasized the importance of communication as a means to resolve conflicts. Rogers believed that most people are so ready “to judge, to evaluate, to approve or disapprove” that they fail to understand what others think. He argued people to “listen with understand” and recommended a model for communication in which listeners are required to restate what others have said before offering their own views. Even though it is very hard to use this method of arguing, it shows maturity and presidents and governments usually use this method. I think that it would be useful for me to use Rogerian argument because you would have to understand the other person’s perspective before you could proceed to argue your point.
