The Baby Boomer Generation is the generation after World War II; those born between 1946-1964. Generation Z is the youngest recorded generation; those born between 1996-2012. Apparently, they don't get along.
The Argument: One of the reasons why Baby Boomers usually clash with Generations Y and Z is because they give advice which is considered unhelpful and out-of-touch. The reason for this is because schooling, the job market, and the housing market have dramatically changed since the Boomers were young themselves.

Topic: Pennsylvania Station in New York City.
This is a story of an American building - how it was built, why it was lost, what is left of it today, and how each chapter has reflected the country that it stood in.

When a Presidential candidate is asked a question, and they believe that a straightforward answer will be used against them, they may avoid the question instead. The question is, is this a smart strategy? Or can the dodge of the question hurt that candidate just as much?

This is a general statement, so there are multiple ways of interpreting it. Hence, it can represent multiple different arguments; a literal version - a figurative version - and a contextual version.

The Argument: Biopics practically always depict the biography inaccurately, yet many people who watch biopics assume that they are accurate. It might as well be assumed that they are not accurate because filmmakers will often prioritize a better story over an historically-accurate story.

Social media can be - both - intimate and open. It can feel like a personal space to some, while it seems like a public outlet to others. In May of 2019, a debate was had regarding two political commentators after one accused the other of bullying and abusing them on YouTube.

When somebody decides to leave an interview, they may feel justified. The person who stays may disagree. But whose opinion counts the most when an interview is cut short? This is an argument about the power of public opinion - how it ultimately decides whether or not you should end an interview.

The Argument: As a protest tactic, a sex strike can be effective. But in order to succeed, participation among women must be unanimous - men must be the only ones in positions of power - and only actions (not beliefs) can be affected. The only reliable utility of such a strike might be the attention that it draws to a cause.

The Argument: This is a theory, nevertheless, a fair observation. Certain characteristics make certain outcomes more likely. However, many of the characteristics labeled 'Privileges' are conditional and many of them can be earned (if not already inherited). This is an abstract argument and should not be used to justify any assumptions about an individual.

This particular claim is relatively true. It's correct depending on the definition used and the application of the term. There are multiple terms that accurately describe the United States government. And since each term has multiple definitions, they ought to be defined before an argument takes place.
