Michael's RR to "They Say"

“They Say” is an essay that promotes educating your audience before you begin arguing. What I mean is that to many people assume that the audience they are arguing a point to already know the other side of the argument. For instance “we could only wonder why he was going on and on about X”. It seems that in order to keep an audience captivated you need to provide the other side of the argument, that way you give a reason to those listening or reading why they should bother with what you have to say.
It appears that most prefer conflict in a situation in order to maintain any type of interest and not have the label boring slapped to it. Any thing we do as a society seems to be this way. Such as sports, political speeches, the news, books you get the point. Who cares about listening to something that we all agree with all ready and that has no opposing side to the issue.
“Yes / No / Okay, But” talks about being clear with your points. In other words present your side of the argument early on, “readers get frustrated, wondering, is this guy agreeing or disagreeing?”. Another clear way of demonstrating your side clearly is by using this: “ I think X is mistaken because she overlooks ...”. This style shows how to clearly present why you disagree.
It will be critical in my paper to establish who is arguing against the conservation of plants, the “they say” part. First off most would think that no one really disagrees openly with conservation, and I agree. But when people with their actions do something to impede upon they stability of an ecosystem there is tremendous consequences. It will also be very important to show both side of the story such as why people did this or why we should stop that.
