Two factors that resonate with me are credibility & relevance. When creating an
argument, facts should be presented from credible sources. They should also be
relevant to the argument. There are many examples of these factors not be used
correctly, or dismissed all-together in daily social media regarding the COVID-19
pandemic. When information is shared on a mass scale, it's important verify if the
source it was derived from is legitimate. The content should also focus primarily on
the subject. If this doesn't happen, the true message can get lost or diluted &
ultimately leave the listener with more unanswered questions.
Inductive reasoning is attempting to answer a question that we know little about, by
using something similar that we are more familiar with. The more we know, the
stronger the argument. The less we know, the weaker the argument. Deductive
reasoning is more fact based and logical. The response is either true or false.
I truly appreciate the interactive videos in this course. I enjoy the interaction that's
involved, along with the segmented content.
The two factors we should consider when evaluating an argument are clarity and
credibility. Clarity is important because In order to evaluate an argument you need
to make sure you understand it correctly the argument needs to be clear and
unambiguous.))If the argument is unclear then your response will not be
correct.Credibility is important because we need to know are the premises supported
by evidence is the information being provide credible some information can be
incorrect. The differences between inductive and deductive arguments are that in a
inductive argument base there conclusion off the premise relating it to cause and
only offer support not proof when a deductive have strong conclusions assuming all
the premises are true. Reflecting on the learning activities, concepts, ideas, and
topics covered this week what was the most interesting to me was how to evaluate
an argument and how to break it down and what we need to look for.)I am no
confuse by them anymore but it was hard to grasp the difference between inductive
and deductive arguments)
