An argument requires ‘expressing a point of view on a subject and supporting it with evidence' (see https://www.unc.edu/depts/wcweb/handouts/argument.html) The basic components of an argument include:
1. Making a claim (informed by relevant organisational perspectives and/or theories)
2. Supporting your claim with evidence
3. Recognising and engaging with counterclaims.
