Philosophy 1 page homework

Homework 1: Find an opinion piece or editorial and analyze one of the arguments given by the 

author. Paraphrase the argument by identifying and restating the premises and conclusions. The 

propositions should be stated clearly, given in a logical order, and presented as a list (see 

Chapter 2 of Copi and Cohen’s Introduction to Logic for more information on paraphrasing).

Determine whether and explain why the argument is deductive or inductive. Evaluate the 

argument. Is it a good or bad argument? What is good and/or bad about it? Please submit a copy 

of the article that contains the argument with your homework assignment. I want you to mark up 

this copy in order to indicate where the premises and conclusions of this argument are located.
