"Discussion Text"

Discussion Text, I personally know the argumentative essay, is one type of text that gives two opinions on a matter. Opinion was certainly exist in harmony and there is also conflicting.

When we talk about something, no doubt the discussion we have various arguments / opinions are diverse. So is the discussion text, this text has two different opinions: one, opinions are agreed and, two, an opinion that does not agree. Therefore we need to have a broad view of the matter if we want to make the text discussion.

For more details, let's discuss one by one what should we see in studying the text discussion.

Definition Discussion Text

Mentioned in the Merriam-Webster Learner Dictionary, the word "Economy" has two meanings. First, the act of talking about something with another person or a group of people: a conversation about something (Actions speak of a thing to another person or group of people). Second, a speech or piece of writing that gives information, ideas, opinions, etc., About something (speech or writing that provides information, ideas, opinions, etc. about something).

From the discussion in the second sense, meaning number two is better suited to the meaning of the text discussion. If concluded, the text meaningful discussion either a spoken or written text that provides information, ideas, opinions, about a thing.

Do you agree?

Generic Structure Of Discusssion Text

Simply put, the general arrangement of the discussion text is divided into 3 sections.

1. Issue (issue)

2. Arguments (Opinion)

       a. Points Supporting (Opinion in Support)

       b. Contrasting Points (The Contrary Opinion)

3. Conclusion / Recommendation (Conclusion / Suggestion)

Issue (Major Problems)

This issue contains the issue will be further discussed. If you want to write a text of this discussion, it helps to choose a topic of controversial issues so that you'll have a lot of arguments, good arguments in favor of or argument to the contrary. For example, the subject matter "Students Should Not Take mobile phones so as not to interfere with teaching and learning in schools".

Supporting Points (Opinion in Support)

At the points supporting this, we are required to elaborate further on the description of the problem we are discussing. If the Issue contains problems such as in the example above issue, then you have to explain in more detail about HP that could interfere with teaching and learning activities in schools.

Contrasting Points (The Contrary Opinion)

On the contrasting these points, it is good we give a different opinion with supporting points. If HP is considered a negative effect on students, then this section we shall give an opinion on the benefits of HP for students. For example, by giving the argument that HP could facilitate students in finding information on the Internet about the subjects being discussed.

Recommendation / Conclusion (Suggestions / Conclusion)

In this section, we try to take the middle ground on the issue being discussed so that the conclusions we draw no longer bring new problems. For example, in the HP above, we can give suggestions / conclusions by writing schools allow students to bring HP's origin is not activated when the teaching and learning taking place.

Well, that would be argumentative essay that you can learn. To clarify, let's look at the example below:

Example of Discussion Text

The Ban on Smoking in Public Places (Prohibition of Smoking in Public Places)

Smoking ban in public places has been a hot issue these last months not only in Malta but also in various countries who are discussing the effects a ban would have. There have been several debates on smoking ban. Even though the Harmful effects of smoking, both active and passive, are well known and undeniable smoking is far from being in decline; it is spreading among young people in particular Quickly.

Most controversial debate is going on public smoking ban. The reason is simple, smoking ban affects directly all people rapidly and we can see its effects in a short-term period. There have been a lot of arguments brought up both in favor and against a public smoking ban. Some in favor of the arguments are the following. Smoking ban is one of the controversial ways for Recognizing reducing smoking and non-smokers' right to health protection. The health risks of smoking are clear. Passive smoking does carry risks. Many leading medical and scientific Organizations recognize second-hand smoke as a cause of a range of life-threatening conditions. The health situation could be drastically improved if one of the risk factors - tobacco - was eliminated. People have a right to Protect Themselves from smoke inhalation. People should not have to Inhale the ill-effects of other people's smoking. The creation of smoke-free public places also improves water quality.

Those Opposing a smoking ban say that freedom of choice would be affected by such legislation. Some people say that against a tire smoking bans damage business. A smoking ban could lead to a significant fall in earnings from bars, restaurants and casinos. Another argument is that the smoker has a basic human right to smoke in public places, and the tire is a Limitation for smokers' rights. Businesses, smokers, publicans, tobacco industries, stars, and some of the non-smokers oppose public smoking ban. Smokers light a cigarette Because they need to smoke, not Because they want it, Because nicotine is physically addictive. Therefore, some smokers think that the public smoking ban is oppressiveness. They see the ban as a treatment to smokers as second-class citizens. Smokers agree that the smoking ban benefits the world, but can not support the ban, Because effects of nicotine obstruct them.

Public smoking ban needs to be measured and Understood better. Smokers should not be made to look like the Outcasts, but smokers should respect non-smokers when sharing places. I agree that completely smoke-free places are the ideal, and some businesses have taken the decision to go completely smoke-free. However, everyone agrees that, it is a matter of rights - the right of smokers to smoke versus non-smokers from passive smoking to protect and to breathe clean air.
