DOMAINS AND THEMES OF ARGUMENTS

Dulcinea can handle many kinds of argument domain and theme, such as
the following extracts.

   Traffic: introduction of two-way lanes / development of electric cars
   Whaling: moratorium on the the hunting of whales
   Working Conditions: reduction in number of working hours
   Housing: extended families living together
   Sports: prize money for Olympic prizewinners / commercialization of the Olympic Games
   Medicine: regarding brain death as actual death / execution of euthanasia

EXAMPLE OF ARGUMENT

   Argument Domain: Traffic Matters
   Argument Goal: A two-way lane must be introduced
   Generated argument text: (English translation)

In Midousuji street, a one-way system was introduced while a two-way lane for
buses was not introduced. This forced a change in the routes of bus services resulting
in a decrease in passengers of 40%. In this way, if a two-way lane is not introduced with
a one-way system, the routes of bus services changes and the number of passengers
will decrease. Moreover, if the number of passengers decrease, the bus service may
be forced to stop.

On the other hand, introducing a two-way lane seems to put pedestrians in danger.
However the pedestrians were not in danger in London when a two-way lane was
introduced, because the buses turned their headlights on. In this way, if the buses
turn their headlights on, the pedestrians will not be in danger, even though a two-way
lane is introduced.

Therefore, a two-way lane must be introduced.


OUTLINE OF DEMONSTRATION

First of all, we choose traffic matters as the argument domain and make
an argument which asserts "We must introduce the two-way lane". At first,
we limit the argument to its direct grounds and give you a brief explanation
of the function and output for each module. Then, using the same argument
theme, we make a complete argument that includes refutations for the oppos-
ing arguments, together with examples. After that, opposing arguments such
as "must not introduce a two-way lane" will be performed. Other argument
themes in the same area of traffic matters may also be demonstrated. Finally,
we will take another domain, of your choice, and show you some arguments.
