My Experience With The Knapp's Relational Model

-

 This blog is about my relationships with the people in my life, and where one the model we are. I was trying to decide which relationship I should talk about. One is a developing relationship with my girlfriends, and the other is a dying relationship with one of my best friends. But I have decided to go with the dying relationship, because I have a lot to say about that one. 

This is my so called best friend Julianna and I. (I am the one on the right)


So Julianna and I have been best friends for a little over two years. I meet her when I moved to Alaska beginning of our junior year in high school. We grew close pretty quickly, and we bonded a lot over the same things. But she does many things that make me upset that I have tried to push past, but I finally started to get tired of dealing with it.

I would say we are currently in the stagnating stage. Our communication is really poor. I have a lot of problems with her that I don’t communicate to her about. There are quite I bit of things I can talk about that led us to a dying friendship. For example she forgot my birthday last year, and never apologized for it. Then this year she forgot it again and never said anything about it. And that really pissed me off. Another thing is that when we go places and she “can’t pay,” so I offer to pay if she pays be back, but she never actually pays me back. I am not very good at communicating, so I have kind of just been ignoring her messages. She treats me so poorly though, and still claims we are best friends, but what kind of best friend are you if you forget my birthday not once but twice.

Toulmin Method

In today’s digital age, the Toulmin method stands out as a powerful framework for breaking down arguments and forming persuasive messages. Its structured method, which includes claim, data, warrant, backing, qualifier, and rebuttal, offers a robust toolkit for assessing and engaging with discussions online. Yet, effectively applying this method in the digital sphere requires a deep understanding of its elements and the specific challenges inherent to online interactions. At its essence, the Toulmin method acts as a blueprint for effective argumentation. It starts with the claim, the primary assertion supported by relevant data. The warrant then connects this data to the claim by explaining their logical relationship. Additionally, backing provides further support, qualifiers acknowledge any limitations, and rebuttals anticipate opposing viewpoints. For example, in a debate on climate change, one might claim that human activities significantly impact global warming. Supporting data coul...
