BalasPadamTheory : Argumentation theory
* Method of formation of legal argumentation theory is a way to examine how to analyze and formulate an argument clearly and rationally in a way to develop universal criteria and juridical criteria to be used as the basis of legal arguments rationality.
* This argumentation theory is one discovery of the law by judges in handling and settlement to the case at hand and the case is no regulation specifically set in the legislation.
* Thus, according to the authors, the legal argument is a scientific skills in the context of solving legal issues (legal problem solving).
* This theory evolved since Aristotle that began with systematic studies of consistent logic in the premise to conclusion.
* The thinking underlying the enactment of legal argumentation method is the number of new cases that arise in the community, while at the laws that govern yet specifically, the judge can make legal arguments in order to address these cases.
* To realize the concept of justice in resolving legal cases that occur in the community, then the judge should use the method of juridical thinking, the characteristics as follows:
1. Argument (legal reasoning), which is trying to realize consistency in the rules of law and legal rulings. The rationale behind this is the belief that the law must be equal for everyone.
2. In the legal reasoning occurs dialectical reasoning, which weigh up claims to the contrary, either in the debate on the formation of law or in the process of consideration of the views and facts presented by the parties in the judicial process.

From my references at Reseach Gate about analysis on communication theory and discipline, i got some information that:
BalasPadam* Network analysis suggests that framing theory is the most influential of the identified theories (ranking first in frequency and degree, closeness) and serves to link other communication theories and theory groups.
* While mass communication and technology theories exhibited the highest centrality, interpersonal, persuasion and organization communication theories were grouped together, integrating sub-theories of each group.
* Framing theory was the most popular and influential communication theory bridging not only mass communication theories, but also interpersonal, technology, information system, health, gender, inter-cultural and organizational communication theories.
