Discussion essay

In a 500 word paper Choose a position, for or against Bundy, and use the critical reasoning approach to close the logical gaps.

According to the Washington Post (2016), "More than three years after Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy and hundreds of militiamen faced off with federal law enforcement officers who had repossessed Bundy's cattle, the 71-year-old is finally seeing his battle reach a courtroom.”

The Bundy family has been at the center of a long-running dispute with federal authorities over the use of public lands to graze cattle, and Bundy gathered with militia members from around the country in April 2014 to directly challenge the federal government. Wearing camouflage and flak jackets while carrying semiautomatic rifles, they amassed in a dusty, washed-out canyon beneath the overpasses of Interstate 15, where two dozen federal officers had corralled Bundy's cattle after he refused to pay years of grazing fees.

In a 500 word paper Choose a position, for or against Bundy, and use the critical reasoning approach to close the logical gaps.

In your narrative:

–Indicate obvious reasons for the illogical conclusion 

–Enumerate a wrong generalization 

–Specify improper comparisons between two scenarios that the author assumed
