Two factors that should be considered when you are facing an argument is being
credible and sound.Is what you are saying have information and facts to back it up
and does what you are saying make sense and is part of the greater good or piece of
the argument.If your argument is credible you will be able to find actual hard data
or research to back it up, and if you are wanting to be on the winning side of an
argument that is crucial.If the argument is using sound information you will easily
and quickly be able to come to a conclusion that the information being used is
sound.Inductive logic is logic that has hard evidence proving that something is
correct.Deductive logic is an argument that sounds logic, but there is not facts or
data showing that proves it is true.When you are in an argument, I feel it is best to
use inductive logic, something you can back up with hard facts.I had never put any
thought into the fact that people would try and argue with deductive logic.When you
are committing to a topic or side, I feel it is very important to know you are right and
can easily back up what it is you are committing to.
When you are engaged in an argument it's critical that in your view you aren't in a
fight with the other person in the conversation, but you are trying to persuade the
other person to your idea or views. Two factors we should consider while evaluating
a argument is first clarity. You need to know all the knowledge you possibly can
before engaging in a argument so that you fully understand what it is you are talking
about and what your end goal is in the argument. The second factor I would say is
necessary is relevance. You need to be familiar with what you are arguing about and
bring up statistics or statements that are relevant and support your claim. The
difference between inductive arguments and deductive arguments is that in
inductive arguments you start with a observation and follow towards generalizations
and theories. In deductive arguments, you start with a theory or hypothesis and then
test theses ideas through observations to see if it is true. What i enjoyed most about
this week's activities was learning the many more tools and strategies used when
engaging in a argument.
