Considering type

In the following blog post I evaluate which type of argument would be useful for my argument.

Postion argument:

This will be the most effective argument type for my position. Also known as the pro/con argument, this is exactly how to persuade someone of a change of mind or opinion. Showing the pros and cons of each side and then presenting my position would serve almost as showing my side as a compromise and easier to accept.

Proposal argument:

This type of argument would be almost as effective as the position argument, and in fact you could almost combine these two and make a super effective argument, but for the purposes of this assignment I can't do that. This argument shows the solution that would propose a solution after analyzing the argument, however it doesn't specifically say that i would explore the pros and cons of an argument, which is why it is the second most effective.

Refutal argument:

This would not be an effective argument type since it is actually not proposing a solution and there hasn't been a solution proposed already for this argument to refute. I could use this argument to refute both sides but that seems like a very pessimistic view this issue.

Evaluative argument:

This argument states that is evaluates "the successfulness of a current policy, idea, or solution to a problem". Since there hasn't been a solution proposed or anything that i can evaluate the successfulness of, this is tied for the least effective argument type for this assignment for my argument.

Casual Argument:

I only list this last because I can not think of anything to write for this one. I have to list the reasons that this is a controversy or problem and then why they could lead to the problem itself. This is a purely opinionated question and so I don't know if I can even write anything for this one.
