Argumentative Text

Bullying Phenomenon in Schools

A culture of bullying is extremely harmful to the growth and development of children. Bullying can damage their future and make them passive and apathetic towards themselves and their environment. Bullying has been going on since ancient times and no one knows when the bullying culture started.

The harm that bullying can cause is enormous for children. Children who are victims of bullying who continue to receive pressure and ridicule from their peers will suffer severe mental distress. 

They will become afraid of socializing and interacting with others. As a result they begin to distance themselves from their environment. This results in children who lack self-confidence or even worse, children who become stresses 

There fore , stay away from and prevent bullying behavior in children's environment so that their future is not destroyed and they become active and accomplished children.

what is an Argumentative Text?

An argument text is a text written about a subject, where the writer is either 'for' or 'against' the subject.

How is an argumentative text structured?

The aim of an argumentative text is to put forward a viewpoint clearly and simply, supported by data and a logical conclusion to back it up. To do this, follow the structure below:

- Introduction: 

briefly explain the subject matter dealt with in the text and provide the necessary background, so the reader can understand your position. The introduction presents the thesis, which is the main idea argued for in the text. 

- Body of the argument: 

this usually consists of three or more paragraphs where the reasoning and data that support your point of view are outlined. Each paragraph should focus on a different idea and should begin by clearly establishing the theme you wish to develop. The opposing arguments that you'll be refuting should be included here along with your own, although the order will depend on the approach you take. 

- Conclusion: 

this last paragraph should focus on the final argumentation underpinning the thesis, synthesising the most important arguments as developed in the preceding paragraphs. Here, you should avoid including new ideas, and instead highlight the fundamental points in favour of your argument.
