    An argument is an idea that supports a claim. An argumentative essay presents evidence to support a claim and convince readers of the writer's position. Issues are topics where people have differing opinions. A counterargument is an opposing view to the main claim, while a rebuttal responds to a counterargument to reinforce the original claim. Argumentative writing aims to prove a point using evidence, while persuasive writing seeks to sway readers through emotion or consensus. Rhetorical questions and appeals to authority or the bandwagon effect are persuasive techniques. Knowing the target audience is important for both argumentative and persuasive essays.
