____X__ My public argument clarifies the causes for a problem that is being debated.
4. Briefly explain how your public argument doesn’t simply restate information from other sources, but provides original context and insight into the situation:
--My argument was a little tricky, due to my genre's requirement of fact-heavy writing that generally remains fairly neutral. However, I added personal commentary to the information I presented. I argued that Italy had failed to do something specific and then gave X,Y, and Z reasons why my argument should be believed. Rather than just create a time line of things progressing in my issue, argued reasons why things have gotten the way they are.
