Episode Title Watching Political Commentary Shows
Phrase argument
Text The word "argument," in this podcast, means the reasons why one believes something and why one thinks other people should believe the same thing: "The doctor made a powerful argument for exercising for 30 minutes each day." Or, "Their argument is that we should close the national park to protect it from visitors." An "argument" is also a loud, angry discussion between two people who disagree about something: "Do you remember your parents having arguments about money when you were a child?" The phrase "for the sake of argument" is used when one wants to talk about something that might happen: "You'll probably be accepted at Princeton, but for the sake of argument, let's say that you're not. Then what will you do?"
