Argument of Fact
According to Lunsford, factual arguments attempt to establish whether something is or is not so - whether claims made about something are true. This is the main purpose of my research paper; to provide factual evidence in order to prove that increasing the technology levels in Africa will correspond to higher rates of literacy. Throughout my paper I will discuss factual evidence that shows first, the poverty levels in Africa are associated to low literacy rates, and second, that by increasing digital technology we can help to increase literacy rates and improve the quality of life for many Africans. My goal in writing this paper is not to establish the definition of poverty or the definition of digital literacy, so therefore I do not believe it is an argument of definition. I am trying to argue for the increase of technology in Africa.

Joel, this is almost a causal argument, isn't it? That increasing the technology levels will cause an increase in literacy?
