Conclusion

Post hoc ergo propter hoc (often shortened to “post hoc”), is an archaic logical fallacy that, when utilized in mathematics, can be used to disguise a less impressive statistic. The fallacy states that since B happened after A, A caused the outcome of B. An example of this is marketing techniques to deter teenagers from smoking cigarettes. Since smoking and low grades often go together, the marketing team can say that smoking causes low grades. What the propagandists don’t reveal is that perhaps…

Premise 2: In the Bible it says that the son of God, Jesus Christ was crucified and was resurrected two days later. Conclusion: Which is why faith is not a source of knowledge because it is impossible for someone to come back to life. The reason this premise is true is that if the son of God, Jesus Christ died where was he buried because if this is such an important person…

However, the population between 20-30 years old is also dominant. Implication: Besides the 40-50 years, the 20-30 years could be seen as a target market. Conclusion: This could be seen as an opportunity to have a wider targermarket. Furthermore China’s one child policy could be seen as a threat, as the population will shrink in the future (About.com, 2015). (IndexMundi, 2014) 1.1.2 Political…

Introduction The process that different organisms use to develop and diversify from their ancestors is known as evolution, and Charles Darwin theorized that evolution is the result of natural selection. Natural selection is a theory that is focused around five main ideas. It begins with the idea of the variation that exists in a natural species. Variation can come from mutations in a species as well as from the crossing over between homologous chromosomes that occurs in sexual reproduction,…

The vantage points taken by many to make headway in the controversy over abortion are endless, and Don Marquis is one of the many who argue for the impermissibility of the action. In my paper, I will object to Marquis’ conclusion that abortion is wrong by posing a thought experiment described by Michael Tooley. This serves the purpose of presenting a situation where an action that is morally wrong by Marquis’ logic is not intuitively impermissible. Similarly, I hope that by analyzing his…

If both premises are true, then the conclusion would have to be true, however, if premise two is false that does not affect the validity of the reasoning. The inductive strategy is used when the reasoning does not meet the deductive validity, yet the reasoning still can be used if the premises provide support for the conclusion. If the premises provide strong reasoning, it shows that the conclusion is highly likely to be true given the truth from the…

Historians and International Relations scholars have long had a relationship that allows for interworking, while distinct differences still remain separating the two. In studying the past, a historian and an international relations scholar would take into account the past as a force that generates the questions and theories of both parties. On the other hand, there lies a difference in the way that the historian would place more emphasis on recounting history and international events for their…
