The primary purpose of writing an argument is to persuade readers to agree with the author's opinion. Arguments are designed to present a case for a particular viewpoint and to convince the audience of its validity through evidence, reasoning, and emotion. While informing readers about a topic and allowing them to come to their own conclusions can be aspects of argumentative writing, the main goal is to sway the reader toward the author's perspective.
