Synopsis: Everything’s an Argument with Readings combines a student-friendly argument guide with a provocative thematic reader, empowering students to critically engage with the arguments that shape their world. Clear explanations and contemporary examples cover classical rhetoric through today’s multimodal forms, with professional and student models of every type. Real-world examples and inclusive voices support students in analyzing and crafting arguments across genres and media. A new Chapter 6, “Argument Meets AI,” on AI literacy for argument equips students with strategies to analyze and create arguments in an evolving digital landscape shaped by artificial intelligence. A rich selection of readings, from scholarly works to social media commentary, spotlights timely topics like free speech, pop culture stereotypes, and the power of language. Each reading is accompanied by rhetorical context, helping students understand argumentative strategies in action. Throughout the book, a commitment to diversity ensures students encounter a wide range of perspectives—across nationalities, political affiliations, genders, and experiences. Engaging visuals and a bold design underscore the importance of genre and design in argument.
