In an argument there are many things that come into play that I believe should be
focused on. But the two I believe that should have the most attention would be
relevance and clarity. When an argument presents itself and you have an open
discussion, it's important to have a clear path (relevance) about what it is you're
discussing. If you're talking about dogs, you want to bring relevant and similar ideas
up. Which goes into clarity. To me, clarity is very important. You need the opposing
side to understand where you are taking the conversation.
How can you tell the difference between inductive and deductive reasoning?
Inductive reasoning is found through an observation and deductive reasoning is
found through an experiment, inductive starts with data, and then takes that data
and turn it into research. Deductive reasoning is starting with a theory or idea, and
then moving to a hypothesis and then moves onto research.
This week, it has been interesting to see all the different parts of how an argument is
set up. this weeks reading has really opened my eyes to a few things regarding how I
move and think in an open discussion or argument.
