Featured Guides

A Guide to Arguing for Black Lives Matter

Black Lives Matter is a peaceful activist movement created to protest the widespread, and measurable patterns of police brutality in the United States. While members of other races can obviously be affected by police brutality in specific instances, the police brutality conversation is centered around Black communities because they are disproportionately affected by policy remnants from the Post-slavery and Civil Rights Eras, as well as the ongoing effects of racially inbalanced laws from the War on Drugs.

A Guide to Arguing Against Income Inequality

While some level of unequal income distribution is necessary for any functioning free-market, American income inequality has reached and surpassed historical levels, which inevitably results in collapse or revolution. The rapid rise of billionaires and multi-billionaires comes at a time when the bottom half of the country collectively has no wealth – only debt, and most working class Americans would struggle to pay even a single unexpected bill.

A Guide to Arguing for Planned Parenthood

Planned Parenthood offers a spectrum of vitally important reproductive health services for both men and women, many of which prevent the need for abortion on a large scale, while abortion services make up only a tiny portion of their work.

On the subject of abortion itself, science shows that fetuses lack the organ components that are necessary to count as conscious, thinking, feeling beings until the third trimester of pregnancy, and thus abortion cannot constitute "murder".  At a policy level, the separation of Church and State ensures that religious dogma cannot weigh in on reproductive rights.

Born in the darkness of 2020...

In a time where humanity and understanding is more important than ever, we’re experienced a total breakdown in civil discourse.  Through social media echo chambers, different parts of the country are spun totally different narratives about America.  Plain-as-day fact and footage is dismissed as “fake news”, true expertise has been forsaken for tabloid blogs, and simple matters of human rights and common sense have been contorted into “politics”.

Argumentality was founded in an attempt to create a collection of fact-checked, academically rigorous, but readable argument guides that can walk you through one of today’s many complex topics and its most common responses, with research and data to back it up.

How to Use Argumentality

1. Learn & Internalize

Start by clicking a topic you care about.  The guides can get pretty long, but you don’t need to memorize all of it…remember the parts that resonate with you, and become versed in the high-level points of each argument. 

We’ve tried to compile the most common opposing views, how to craft a coherent argument against them, as well as add some compelling historical context for the position.

2. Go Forth and Argue!

Now with new found knowledge and logic to back up the stuff you already knew, go out and challenge some preconceptions!  Clear some ignorance!  Bonus points if you convert an older family member.

3. Reference the Hard Stuff

If someone wants to challenge your sources, or wants specific numbers, pull up the guide again and hit them with the relevant data, now organized all in one place.
