Online Arguments

I am sure by now, especially after the "Barbenheimer" trend, that a majority of us have seen the new Barbie movie.

The Barbie movie sparked all sorts of feedback as it had some underlying messages that seemed to influence and inspire some while upsetting others.

I chose this online argument because I too have seen the barbie movie and have heard all about the opinions of the movie. I also thought of it as sort of a light-hearted argument to reflect on.

Three Negative Examples or Concerns I Have for This Online Argument:

• All of the users involved in this argument are merely stating opinions without anything to back them up.
• The users are letting their emotions take control of what they are seeing, and they are spitting them straight out into the world without any other thought.
• The users complaining about the movie are likely the ones who didn't actually receive the message the movie was trying to get across.

5 Rules for How People Should Argue Online Correctly:

1. Don't argue just to argue.
2. Make sure you understand what you are talking about before you talk about it.
3. Have evidence to back up your claims in an argument.
4. Think about other people and how they receive the topic, consider how others will view the discussion and your behavior.
5. Just because you let your emotions get the best of you does not mean something is not true.
