When to use "I"

Some of the successful ways that a writer can use "I" is through argumentative writing. When a writer is trying to make their point known, using "I" and talking in first person can be very successful because it makes the argument more valid. It helps to make the points in the argument clearer. Some of the examples the author of this blog says are good ways to use "I" are, "I contend", "I argue", "I advance the position", and "I have concluded". These are all great ways to use "I" without talking specifically about yourself. The author of this blog says that depending on the context of the text will determine how effect the use of "I" is. Some of the ways that "I" can spoil a good argument is by using phrases that are more self-directed rather than interactive with both the writer and the reader. Two phrases that the author of this blog believes spoil a good argument are "I believe" and "In my opinion".

When I write my first paper, I plan to utilize the effective ways of using "I" when I argue my point what the media is actually projecting. Most media ads today advertise sex through the clothing that is being sold. My position on this is that the object of sex should not be used to sell clothing because it only teaches other generations that this is what they need to portray in order to be noticed by others. Media advertisements such as these are harmful to our youth today. I would argue strong points about this issue with the help of the tips that I have learned through this blog. Also, limiting how much I use "I" and showing how many others in the public have the same views as I do will help me when it comes to arguing my point about using sex as an object for ads.
