Appeals to values
Our values are how we decide what is good or bad based off of certain principles
If you know that your audience and peers are educated in your topic, you will not have to provide as many supporting details and examples
Different terms such as responsibility, is seen differently in different groups of people
"Virtually all claims, even those that seem to be purely factual, contain expressed or unexpressed judgments,"(Rottenberg 202).
Abraham H. Maslow
Appeal to needs
Self Actualization, Esteem needs, Social needs, Safety needs, physiological needs
"These needs, said Maslow, motivate human thought and action," (Rottenberg 200).

Evidence

"Images can also provide support for an argument,"(Rottenberg 183).
Pictures are great when reporting scientific research
If you can't decide between two opposing sides of evidence, you should just leave the argument as unsettled. Do not settle!
Opinions are based off of the quality of the evidence and the person behind the evidence
"Statistics are more effective in comparisons that indicate whether a quantity is relatively large or small and sometimes even whether a reader should interpret the result as gratifying or disappointing," (Rottenberg 178).
Diagrams, charts, tables and graphs are great when talking about statistics
Statistics: information in numbers
Hypothetical examples can help visualize examples
You can support a claim by providing factual examples
Factual evidence: statistics and examples
"When authors provide evidence in support of their claim, they primarily use facts, examples, statistics, opinions (usually the opinions of exports), and images," (Rottenberg 175).
