Yay, I found a good study to help support my paper A LOT. It's basically a paper about violence in schools. But the reason that they pinpointed was that people who are bullied do it to for revenge. A lot of school shootings have been the result of people who are bullied. And one of the main criteria for getting bullied was dressing differently. This is perfect for my paper, because it helps me prove that clothes do contribute to school violence. And thus school uniforms are a potential answer.
1. The argument is that bullied students are more likely than others to committ violent crimes in their schools.
2. The audience is probably the general public, because it was written kind of informaly. Not informal like they don't know what they're talking about, but just like they're trying to relate to the common man kind of.
3. Logos is the most important part of this study for me, because I need more facts in my paper. All of their statistics about school violence are very logical and will be helpful for me to use. Ethos is used because they do have a lot of credible experts who commentate in their paper. You can tell that these people actually know what they are talking about, because they have studied a lot of these cases. Ethos is used because they tell specific stories about kids who commit violent crimes. A lot of them were good kids, honor students, who were bullied and apparently couldn't take it anymore. Brining emotion into the argument is very effective. They definitely have a lot of information, so I would consider their argument to be sufficient. It is typical, because all of their research methods have been used before. The information they present is quite accurate, and is backed up by a lot of prominent people. And it is definitely relevant, because a lot of the school violence does come from people feeling bullied.
4. I think their argument is very good and I am so excited that I have more information to use!

I'm very glad that you found such a good source. However, who published the study or the information you're using? You may want to examine or at least try and add to the credibility/reputation of whoever has provided the research you're using to better establish this in your paper
Just curious: how do you evaluate their research methods?
