Answer:

the nature of people to blame others for their own mistakes or shortcomings

Explanation:

You can see how the author makes fun of it and points out this behavior in this part of the excerpt:

<em>"[...] I knew men well enough to know that when they find they've given a tramp a million-pound bill when they thought it was a one-pounder, they are in a frantic rage against him instead of quarreling with their own near-sightedness[...]"</em>

<em />

They would not blame themselves for giving away that money. They'd not even think about how they were the ones to commit such mistake. They'd blame the one that had the note because otherwise, it'd be their fault.

What role must the audience play in the creation of an argument? How do bubbles(communities) complicate audience? Should audienc
Elden [556K]

Answer:

Check below for the answer and explanations

Explanation:

The audience is the group of individuals that the argument is aimed at convincing. The audience serves as the decider of the result of an argument. They determine whether or not the conclusion of an argument is valid or not. An audience not properly carried along by the speaker is bound to misinterpret the centrality of the argument and likely to misjudge the conclusion of the argument. An argument that does not receive the favor of the audience will be considered weak and invalid.

The community sees audience as necessarily a crowd or a thick population but in the real sense, anybody to whom a speech or a writing is addressed is an audience, it may be singular, and no matter how small the population is, can decide the fate of the argument.

The audience has to be smarter in order to be able to fully grasp the message that is being passed across by the argument. A wrong understanding of the argument may lead to an erroneous conclusion by the audience. In order to make the people smarter, they must be properly taught and their cognitive abilities developed. The environment also plays an inestimable role in improving smartness. Making people relate with the right people and events goes a long way in improving their Intelligence Quotient.

The speaker must also ensure that he makes his points clear and that the audiences are properly carried along to avoid misunderstanding of the message passed.
