About the FBI Have you ever wanted to work for the FBI? Here is a little history on the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The FBI started in 1908. It was known as the Bureau of Investigation then. On July 26, 1908, the Attorney General selected ten Special Agents of the Bureau of Investigation. They were called the Special Agent Task Force. In 1933, the Bureau’s name was changed to the Division of Investigation. It was changed again in 1935 to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. It is known as that today.
All agents carry a special wallet that has their picture in it. They use this wallet to identify themselves to people when they are working. It is called a credential. There are two different kinds of credentials. They change depending on which division in the FBI you work in and your rank as an agent.
The FBI has changed what they investigate as the times have changed. In 1908, there were different crimes than the crimes that exist today. Also, there were fewer types of crimes than today. A good example of this is car theft. In 1908, almost no one had a car. As more people bought cars, the number of car thefts increased.
Many years ago, the FBI investigated crimes like bank robbery, kidnapping, and car thefts that go across state lines. Today, there are over 350 violations of the law that the FBI investigates. The different violations are broken down into several categories. The FBI looks into violent crime, organized crime, white collar crime, terrorism, foreign counterintelligence, civil rights, and applicant matters.
The FBI has many ways of solving those crimes and finding the criminals. One of them is through fingerprint identification. Fingerprints are a great way to tell people apart because everyone’s fingerprints are unique. This means that no two people in the world have the same fingerprints! Other ways of identifying people, like hair color, height, and weight, may change as a person gets older. Fingerprints stay the same no matter what.
There are over 250 million sets of fingerprint records on file. If all the fingerprint cards on file were stacked on top of one another, they would equal 133 stacks, each the size of the Empire State Building! Finding space to keep all of these fingerprint cards is difficult. This is one of the reasons the FBI is now putting cards in a digital format. That means the images can be stored on computers. All fingerprint cards at the FBI are eight-inch squares, a little smaller than a piece of notebook paper, and are thinner than a piece of cardboard. The FBI gets over 37,000 of these fingerprint cards every day, seven days a week! 32% of these cards now come to the FBI as digital images.
Not all fingerprint cards on file are of criminals. Some records are civil prints. Civil prints are taken of people who work for the government or apply for a job with the government.

Explanation:

formal arguments

in written, formal arguments, the best way to build credibility with readers is to provide them with evidence. no matter what your argument might be and which side you agree with, citing strong evidence to back up your claim leaves the opposition with little to argue.

emotional appeal is often used in oral arguments. written arguments, however, rely on four main types of evidence. as you read further, you will see that some types are more credible than others and "hold more water" so to speak.

statistical evidence

the strongest type of evidence in formal writing is statistical evidence. this ranges from true, hard data presented as a percentage or number, to survey-type data. for example, statistical evidence could be:

4 out of 5 experts claim

85% of women in the united

7 members were present

statistical evidence can be proven as fact. you can actually go out and find hard information to prove your particular claim.

testimonial evidence

the use of celebrities as credibility evidence can be considered testimonial in nature. many people look up to celebrities as role models in their lives. good or bad, when a person chooses a life-path that takes them into public light, there will be many others out there who want to emulate the celebrity. these celebrity endorsements provide the second-strongest type of evidence found in formal arguments.

testimonial evidence can also be collected from experts and authorities in a given field. doctors, dentists, lawyers often provide expert testimonials. their authority is not often questions. they are expected to "know their stuff."

anecdotal evidence

when storytelling is involved as evidence, anecdotal evidence is being used. due to its less objective nature, anecdotal evidence is not extremely strong. when coupled with statistical or testimonial evidence, anecdotal evidence can be highly effective in determining credibility or proof.

storytelling, although based on fact, can include quite a bit of opinion, thus making it less objective. usually, eyewitnesses are used as providers of anecdotal evidence. they saw or experienced the phenomenon at hand are telling their version or side of the story.

analogical evidence

when information is scarce about something and little is known, analogical evidence is often used in a formal argument to increase credibility of the proof. if the phenomenon in question is new and little is known about it, analogical evidence that pulls in known factors about a similar phenomenon to show parallels can be an effective way to provide proof.

due to limited knowledge about the phenomenon, in this situation, analogical evidence can be regarded as the weakest type of evidence used in formal arguments. one can only imagine and hope that the comparison-phenomenon is close enough that the results can be applied to the new phenomenon.

in the

all that really matters in a formal argument is whether or not the writer has credible evidence to back up what they want to say or what they are thinking. so often, we hear people say, "prove it! " to one another.

one last little formal arguments not only provide credible evidence to support claims, don't forget that acknowledgment of the opposing point of view in an argument also strengthens the entire product.
