It is normal for the articles to raise controversial issues, especially articles touching critical issues. There are different ways in which the authors make the case. There is a record of certain articles that have raised questions that have no answers in other words rhetoric question due to the nature of the arguments of the article (Jordan 24). The paper aims at analyzing the types of arguments involving two articles that discuss higher education.
The first article to review is named the Introduction: Out Of the Ruins, The University to Come. The article uses a proposal claim. It can also be called a recommendation argument. It involves writing an article to change people’s mindset with the aim of changing how they think. The author explains how higher education should be. He explains that the bodies with authority over the education should make the system appear clear and thematic. The arguments are not enforceable, but just opinions (Jordan 24).
On the other hand, the argument in the second article is different. The type of the argument present in this article is evaluation article. The article Deconstructing Academe: The Birth of Critical University Studies tries to evaluate the current problem giving the room for argument. The article gives the opponent of the facts about education room for expressing their opinions.
The articles do not provide their claims in the same way as one uses evaluation arguments and the other uses proposal arguments. The mode of arguments in the two articles is different. The article by Williams evaluates the current situation and gives the possible solutions while the argument of Hanke and Hean gives the recommendations of the system (Jordan 24). However, in both articles, the claims suit a particular argument regarding what should be done about higher education.
