Instructions:
1. First, what was the occasion of the disagreement (context, background)?

2. Second, describe how you employed these 4 steps of Rogerian argument with your “adversary” (I prefer the term “partner”). Again, here are the steps you must follow during your conversation with the person:

a. Summarize for the person the grievance between you two.

b. State your “partner’s” position. Make sure he or she agrees that you’ve stated correctly his/her position.

c. Grant the validity of his or her position.

d. Show how his or her position will be improved if he or she also accepts your position.

3. Finally, how did your partner in the discussion respond? Was the grievance resolved, stayed same, escalated?

Remember, you are to engage someone in real life in Rogerian Argument this week, and this forum is where you share those results.
