Statisticsis a branch of mathematics that focuses on the collection, analysis, interpretation, presentation, and organization of data. It plays a crucial role in various fields such as science, business, and social sciences by providing tools and methodologies to understand and derive insights from data.In-depth studiesrefers to comprehensive and thorough examinations of a specific subject or topic. This type of study is characterized by its detailed analysis, which considers all relevant aspects and nuances of the subject matter.Current issuesrefers to significant topics or problems that are relevant and actively discussed in the present day. These issues often encompass a wide range of subjects, including social, political, economic, and environmental matters that are pertinent to contemporary society.
Scholarly articlesare academic writings that present original research, analysis, or findings by experts in a specific field. These articles are typically published in peer-reviewed journals, which means they undergo a rigorous evaluation process by other scholars before publication to ensure the quality and credibility of the research.Analyses(plural ofanalysis) refers to detailed examinations or studies of a subject, process, or data set to understand its components, relationships, and implications.
ManifestoThis refers to a published declaration of the intentions, motives, or views of the issuer, be it an individual, group, political party or government.The term originates from the Italian wordmanifesto, meaning "clear" or "conspicuous," and has been used since at least the early 17th century in English20XX
Example of Manifesto❖The Communist Manifesto (1848) by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels:A political document advocating for class struggle and revolution.❖The Declaration of Independence (1776): A foundational document declaring the American colonies' independence from British rule.❖Futurist Manifesto (1909) by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti: An artistic manifesto promoting modernity and rejecting the past.❖These examples illustrate how manifestos can serve as powerful tools for change, articulating a vision for the future while often critiquing the present state of affairs❖20XX
Characteristic of a Manifestos20XX❑Public Declaration: It is intended for a wide audience and often aims to influence public opinion or action.❑Intentions and Objectives: Manifestos usually articulate specific goals or changes the issuer seeks to achieve.❑Variety of Contexts: They can be political (e.g., election manifestos), social (e.g., calls for equality), or artistic (e.g., movements like Futurism) in nature
Argumentative writingA kind of writing where the students establish a position in a given topic and then use evidence to persuade the audience to see things from their point of view. ArgumentIn academic writing, this is usually a main idea, often called a “claim”or “thesisstatement,”backed up with evidence that supports the idea
Analyzing an Issue and Developing an ArgumentListing the pro and con sides of the topic will help you examine your ability to support your counterclaims, along with a list of supporting evidence for both sides20XX
Analyzing a writer’s argument in a manifesto is a necessary skill. It helps the reader to critically examine the content of the text as well as the techniques used by the writer.Most especially when the reader analyses the argument, he/she could draw conclusion from the manifesto. Let us explore more the importance of analyzing the arguments used by the writer/s in manifestoes by answering the questions belowTask 1

WRITING AN ANALYSIS OF AN ARGUMENTAn argument, in the academic context, is a formal way to make a point in academic writing. This remains distinct from the real-world definition where an argument might mean a fight or a conflict. An argument consists of two parts: 1.A claim or statement that summarizes the main idea. 2.A reason why that claim is true, and/or evidence to support that claim.
Let us look at this example!Reflective writing can help students become better thinkers. It can help students see that ideas are meant to be discussed and debated. Bridges and Jost found that students who did weekly reflective journal writing about their course content for a semester could analyze course concepts at a deeper level than those who didn’t.
Let us analyze the argument:1. In this case, the sentence "Reflective writing can help students become better thinkers" is the claim.
Let us analyze the argument:2. The claim is expanded upon in the next sentence, "It can help students see that ideas are meant to be discussed and debated." Finally, evidence is presented, often in the form of a citation. Here, we read that "Bridges and Jost found that students who did weekly reflective journal writing about their course content for a semester could analyze course concepts at a deeper level than those who didn't." This evidence supports the originally presented claim and its expansion.
Let us analyze the argument:In analyzing an argument, one must apply the following steps in order to understand the text thoughtfully:1.Read the text several times and think about it 2.Write or jot down in your notes things that can help you track own thoughts and writer’s thesis 3.Look for transitions that help draw conclusions and verbs that imply evidence
Remember: If there is no clear thesis try to think of a hypothesis that might support, it by analyzing argument through: a.Examining the author’s method b.Examining the author’s persona c.Examining the author’s purpose
EXAMINING THE AUTHOR’S METHOD
TIPS IN ANALYZING THE ARGUMENT:1.Does the author quote authorities? -Are these authorities really competent in this field? -Are there any equally competent authorities who take different views ignored?
TIPS IN ANALYZING THE ARGUMENT:2. Does the writer use statistics? -If so, are they appropriate to the point being argued?-Can they be interpreted differently?
TIPS IN ANALYZING THE ARGUMENT:3. Does the writer build the argument by using examples or analogies? -Are they satisfactory? 4. Does the writer consider all relevant factors? -Has he or she omitted some points that you think should be discussed?
EXAMINING THEAUTHOR’S PERSONA
TIPS IN ANALYZING THE ARGUMENT:1. In some persuasive writing this persona or voice or presentation of the self maybe no less important than the presentation of evidence.
TIPS IN ANALYZING THE ARGUMENT:2. In writing your essay: (a)tell your readers of the author’s methods; (b) be aware of the purpose of the material in you are responding; (c)(c) indicate your thesis statement since your paper is an argument
EXAMINING THE AUTHOR’S PURPOSE
TIPS IN ANALYZING THE ARGUMENT:An author’s purpose is his reason for or intent in writing. An author’s purpose may be to amuse the reader, to persuade the reader, to inform the reader, or to satirize a condition.
TIPS IN ANALYZING THE ARGUMENT:1.Examine if the author tries to relate a story or to recount events, an author uses narrative writing. 2.Examine if the author to tell what something looks like, sounds like, or feels like, the author uses descriptive writing
TIPS IN ANALYZING THE ARGUMENT:3. Examine if the author convinces a reader to believe an idea or to take a course of action, the author uses persuasive writing. 4. Examine if the author informs or teach the reader, the author uses expository writing.
TIPS IN ANALYZING THE ARGUMENT:Remember: The reader could also use RHETORICAL DEVICES of persuasion to analyze the argument of the writer:
RHETORICis the art of effective or persuasive speaking or writing, especially the use of figures of speech and other compositional devices.
1.Logos (logic) appeals to the reader based on logic. The content of the manifesto may include: a.Arguments and benefits b.facts and figures c.scientific research d.statistics and percentages
2. Ethos (experience) appeals to the reader based on authority or honesty of the writer. The manifesto may include: a.personal anecdote b.client testimonial c.success story d.track record
3. Pathos (passion) appeals to the readers through emotion. The manifesto may include: a.positive and negative stories b.emotions like frustrations, anger, love and respect
