Keith Walters is co-author of “Everything’s an Argument.”

Everything’s an Argument helps students understand and analyze the arguments around them and raise their own unique voices in response. Lucid explanations cover the classical rhetoric of the ancient Greeks through the multimodal rhetoric of today, with professional and student models of every type. In today’s contentious political climate, a solid foundation in rhetorical listening skills teaches students to communicate effectively and ethically.
