Key features of the argument include a candid position, supporting background information, persuasive evidence, and acknowledgment of the counterargument. These characteristics outrightly negate taking an extreme position without having the facts supporting it. Sticking to the extreme is not logical in itself. Doing so will be tantamount to frivolous writing, not a well-thought argumentative piece. The writer will render the audience all but perplexed and annoyed. For instance, one cannot convince readers in just stating that the ...

We can, however, also demonstrably say that the slowness of the revolution in Canada at least was due to the sheer distances involved in the colonies themselves. This paper will examine the industrial revolution in Canada, moving from general terms to specific ones, in order to show ...
