Understanding the Use of Examples in Argumentative Questions

The Importance of Relevant Examples

  • When constructing arguments in an argumentative question (AQ), referencing events from one's own society can limit the scope of examples used.
  • To enhance argumentation, it is beneficial to incorporate diverse examples that may initially seem irrelevant but can substantiate claims effectively.

Case Study: Happiness

  • In discussing happiness, studies that directly measure this concept are the most compelling. For instance, citing the 2011 Gallup poll reveals Singapore ranked lowest among surveyed countries regarding happiness.
  • Exploring factors influencing happiness allows for a broader range of studies. For example, Singapore's high GDP per capita suggests material wealth contributes positively to citizens' happiness levels.
