Pseudo Arguments

A pseudo argument is when someone can only understand their view of a specific argument. It is when you cannot except any information against your argument because you refuse to believed that the opposing argument is correct in any way. 
Pseudo arguments are seen daily when it comes to politics and political discussions.  For Example, The war in Iraq is a pseudo argument that is discussed constantly in politics and on the news. When people discuss the war they normally have debates. It is common for there to be a representative for the opposing party and a representative who is for the war. It is incredibly rare for someone to change someone else's mind when it comes to this pseudo argument because it relates to your personal beliefs and ethics. As much as the debaters attempt to prove each other wrong and provide evidence to support their own argument they can not sway their opponents mind. This is a pseudo argument because the politicians or debaters are only aware of their view and do not even think about the possibility that their opponent may be correct. There are many common pseudo arguments when it comes to politics and in some cases in my everyday life but as of now the war is one that is constantly shown.
