[Magic]

I thought we should make a thread that can help people expand their arguments, and give people tip's on how to debate better. I know that I would like to be able to make better arguments.

I know from AS critical thinking I did last year when looking at sources you should use RAVEN in order to evaluate the source

R- Repuatation - Does tthis person have a repuation of lieing?

A - Ability to Observe - Where they their? Was the event at a diffrent time or place?

V - Vested Interest - Do they have a interest to lie or misinterpret the truth in order to protect themselves

E - Expertise - Do they have a paryicular knowledge in that area?

N- Neutrality - If someone has a reason to lie for other reasons that to protect themselves. Eg, Someone who knows other people involved in a dispute, for example, may be liable to side with them or against them depending on their relationship, weakening their credibility.
