A VERY Rational Argument

    Usually when I find out that we are writing an argumentative paper, I internally groan. It's not something that I particularly enjoy doing. Why would I have to prove a seemingly obvious point with evidence that I spent FOREVER looking for?

    That's when I discovered that-shocker! Some people have different opinions than I do! WOW!

    This rational argument paper is a way for everyone to express their stance on a controversial topic rationally. Notice how I say rationally. This little word at the beginning of the title is pushing the narrative that you MUST be fair. I'm talking scholarly evidence and reasonable points that support your thesis. Not the rationale of "because it just makes sense,".

    I've chosen the topic of, should dietary supplements and weight loss items be allowed to be promoted through influencers. I feel that this topic affects many people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds. As a women, of course I get sucked into the black hole that is influencers shoving body issues down your throat. It's inevitable at this point.

    As the gym and being a "gym rat" grows more and more popular, women and men alike may be affected by these influencers as well. It's not just the instagram models now. We can't escape. Body issues obtained by promotions of supplements only scratch the surface of what I'll be discussing in my argument.

    My goal for this final paper is to rationally and effectively defend the claim that dietary supplements and weight loss items should NOT be allowed to be promoted through influencers.
