The understanding about contemporary design issues

Subj : Contemporary Design Issues

 What you Understand about Contemporary Design Issues

For me I understand that contemporary means resent or now but for what about contemporary design issues? what is contemporary design issues ? what is about? I'm keep asking my self all this question event when I trying to get information in internet. In the last week we had a presentation about this subject and I learnt and understand a little about contemporary design issues.

In this subject there is rhetoric and from the rhetoric there is the audience and the author. When we do a design the author of the design was our self and the audience was the people around us who see and receive what we want to deliver. I also know when we are the author we should know which author we want to be either the informative author or the persuasive author and when we are the audience we also need to choose either want to be the passive audience or the active audience. It important to choose because we decided for our self what we want to be and the outcome will be difference.

Other than that I also knows that in the contemporary design issues there is a argument. I'm not very understand about the argument but I try to understand it. From what I understand argument in this subject is about the stand point or view of the author. Other than that there is something that always play in my mind that is the argument is something that have a percentage or something that we do some research about that. Argument is not just a sentences that we can see that something that is bad or good, we need to do a research and make an evidence for each of our argument. From the example that I get, the argument not just state that "pollution is bad for the environment", we all know that the pollution are bad and nobody will argue about it but when we said that "At least 25 percent of  the government budget should be spent on limiting pollution" then everybody will come out and asking why 25%? it should be more than that or someone will said that it should more than that and this is call the argument.
