HU1440 : Module 2 The Toulmin Model a nd Visual Arguments Research 2.1 E x a m p l e s o f P r o o f s 1 Examples of Motivational Proofs Advertisements and speeches by political candidates provide obvious examples of motivational proof. Drink a particular beer or buy a brand of blue jeans, and you will be irresistible to others. Similarly, support a particular candidate, and you will person ally gain job security and safe neighborhoods.  Claim: You should support this candidate.  Support: This candidate can help you get job security and safe neighborhoods.  Warrant: You want job security and safe neighborhoods. Examples of Value Proofs Som e proofs appeal to what all audiences are expected to value such as fairness, reliability, honesty, loyalty, industry, patriotism, courage, integrity, conviction, faithfulness, dependability, creativity, freedom, equality, and devotion to duty. Here is an example that claims that a school curriculum can contribute to the values of equality and acceptance if it is multicultural.  Claim: The curriculum should be multicultural.  Support: A multicultural curriculum will contribute to equality and acceptance.  Warrant: You value equality and acceptance.
