Here I have stated my main argument for the conversation. My strategy is argument from consequences. I point out that children should be academically educated as well as, socially educated. I feel that the more well balanced a child is the more opportunities they will have in life. For children that spend most of their time gaming, I feel they could potentially be lacking in other areas.

Megan as the antagonist counters my argument using a rebuttal strategy. She exposes the flaws in my original argument while adding support to her own opinion. She suggests that often times children are not really engaged or maybe there are things not worth learning going on around them, in which case the child would be better off focused and engaged even if it is to an iPad.

Jackie the interrogator in this conversation poses questions to move the conversation forward. She asks questions that encourage both Megan and I to defend. This allowed us both the opportunity to expand on our argument or to evidence to support our argument. Her questions guided the rest of the conversation.

Here I used a "yea...but" argumentation strategy. I agree with what Megan had to say but wanted to offer more to think about. Not that her argument wasn't accurate there are plenty of times where children are tuned out and in that case they wouldn't be getting anything from the social situation, however as I pointed out there are also plenty of times we don't realize a child is actually paying very close attention to what is going on.

In this comment, my strategy was argument from values. Parents use digital technologies to assist children to basically behave appropriately in public. I understand that there are children who unfortunately have challenges that forbid them from behaving in a way that is acceptable to society. However, in many cases it's not and these children should not just be handed over a hand held technology whenever they are misbehaving. The issue should be dealt with not just brushed over. An iPad should be a privileged for good behavior.

In this argument Jackie is questioning an answer I had given in a previous comment. The statistical answer that I had found suggesting the amount of screen time a child should have was unrealisticly for today. However, I feel that by pointing out the low reccomended time it would further prove my point that there should be limits on screen time.
