For this assignment, you are to write a Rogerian argumentative paper. The Rogerian argument is based on Carl Rogers’ work in psychology and is particularly useful for emotionally charged, highly divisive issues. Rogers felt that many disagreements were steeped in deep emotions that caused conflict and consequently made it extremely unlikely, if not impossible, for a solution to be found. Instead of promoting adversarial relationships that traditional or classical arguments set up between writer and audience, the Rogerian argument begins by assuming that willing writers can find middle or common ground with their readers. The Rogerian argument assumes that if reader and writer can find common ground about a problem or issue, they are more likely to find a solution to that problem.
