In Lester Faigley and Jack Selzer's chapter, "Proposal Arguments," they assert that it is critical to determine an issue that is bothersome as well as being able to present it in a way that it may appeal to a larger audience. They provide sample proposal arguments like "who should make the decisions about economic development," to show some example for readers. They present this chapter in order to display the proper techinique in which to write a propsal argument and how to make it a strong argument. This information was presented in a common tone in order for a student based audience to be able to understand the steps to writing a proposal argument somewhat easily.
