The only way to craft a successful argument is to write with pizzazz. Persuasive writing, for example, demands a mastery of several literary building blocks. Using hard facts -- ones that you can resource -- in conjunction with a passionate point of view will increase the strength and relevance of your argument. Additionally, remaining confident in your position and sequencing your paragraph with an introduction, body and conclusion lends proper structure to your writing -- lending structural "muscle" to your argument.
Craft an argument around an issue in politics. Given the relevance politics has to everyday life and society, political issues can spurn bold and specific opinions in both writers and readers. Investigate interesting questions about the strength of political philosophies or if certain political decisions reflect the morals and values a country purports to uphold. Go radical, on the other hand, and really stir the argumentative pot by stating your agreement that it is OK to vote for a president because you want to have a beer with him, for example, to satisfy your curiosity on the legitimacy of the current president.
Cultural topics are the basis for daily gossip and conversation. Staking a position with a relevant cultural topic provides fresh subject matter for a healthy argument. Presenting both sides of a cultural issue can also lend perspective to both sides of an argument and broaden a reader's point of view. Arguing for or against pre-marital sex or the cultural significance of maintaining a vegetarian diet are examples of culture topics on which to argue.
Fighting against, or upholding, a stereotype will make your argumentative paragraph sizzle. Stating your opinion on whether or not blondes have brains or if old people can really remember how to drive can give your argument a touch of humor. Be careful not to take the opportunity to use your writing to specifically offend any person or group.
