Toulmin Analysis: American Insularity




Insularity is defined as an “ignorance of, or lack, of interest in cultures, ideas, or peoples outside one's own experience.” As it pertains to Americans, we are often criticized for our resistance to learning of the world outside our borders. This can include everything from our resistance to learning new languages to our insistence on American Exceptionalism to our general lack of knowledge of international issues and events. For this assignment, you will utilize the Toulmin Model to construct a rhetorically-sound argument against the American tendency toward insularity.
