Dear everyone

I need a help on my short assignment and I need two versions to be done in two hours it's pretty short and wont take time few sentences each version. Instruction and example below:



In this optional first set of arguments, students can earn EC if they: 

  • Start an argument by formatting it (P1--premise1, P2, P3, etc., then C--conclusion).  You should provide at least two premises, one conclusion, and evidence (link or citation) for at least one of the premises. 
  • Enhance an argument by adding evidence (link or citation) to one of the premises or additional premises (with evidence). You can add a Comment to explain your changes if you wish.
  • Critique an argument by adding a comment that identifies the flaw (weak evidence, non-authoritative source, etc.). You can also add another counter argument (P1, P2, P3, C; with evidence) and add a comment to the original one.
  • Identify the type of argument (Inductive, Deductive, etc.) and explain your reasoning.

 

Sample argument: Putnam's Decline Thesis


Decline Thesis: American Exceptionalism


P1: America’s political participation AND civic engagement have declined. [Evidence: Stolle/Hooghe]


P2: European political participation has declined, but not civic engagement. [Evidence: Stolle/Hooghe]


C1: America’s  decline is unique (‘exceptional’).



Decline Thesis: Europe's Next


P1: America’s political participation AND civic engagement have declined. [Evidence: Stolle/Hooghe]


P2: European political participation has declined, but not civic engagement. [Evidence: Stolle/Hooghe]


C2: Europe may soon decline in civic engagement.



Decline Thesis: Civic <> Political 


P1: America’s political participation AND civic engagement have declined. [Evidence: Stolle/Hooghe]


P2: European political participation has declined, but not civic engagement. [Evidence: Stolle/Hooghe]


C3: Social capital and political participation are not related.
