Informal logic

Whether it be in the contexts of an informal conversation, or a presentation in front of a large crowd, body language can do a great deal in portraying the truth of your argument. While body language is very effective while used alongside rhetorical language, it can do little alone, because…

1. Is there a clearly stated thesis in the introductory paragraph? The thesis sentence includes the writer’s opinion of whether the writer disagrees or agrees with the argument of Gladwell. But I think the writer needs to write three reasons for supporting the opinion in the thesis sentence. 2. Do all the supporting paragraphs back up the thesis? The writers wrote three paragraphs for supporting the thesis sentence. So I was able to easily read and understand the each paragraph. However, I…

Both Harman and Mackie give arguments that bring into question the existence of moral facts. Both Harman and Mackie approach the subject as moral skeptics. I will be using their arguments to argue against the existence of moral facts. Introduction Are there any moral facts? Are there good reasons to believe in the existence of moral facts? To answer these two questions it is necessary to look at the views of the two groups of people who answer them positively - moral realists- and…

“You claim that you know who killed three people. And why? . . . All you mean is that you have a hunch.” “I will not quarrel with you over a word . . . Come now, Inspector. I know -- really know . . . I will perceive you are still sceptic. But first let me say this: To be sure means that when the right solution is reached, everything falls into place. You perceive that in no other way could things have happened” (Douglas 402). The ability to solve a crime by describing the perpetrator is a…

ABSTRACT: Endeavors have been made inside of the field of counterfeit consciousness to perform and examine the demonstration of argumentation with PCs. Argumentation has been utilized to give a proof-theoretic semantics to non-monotonic rationale, beginning with the powerful work of Dung (1995). Computational argumentation frameworks have discovered specific application in spaces where formal rationale and established choice hypothesis are not able to catch the extravagance…

Imagine someone is wearing something , they say “does this look good” and you say “it looks good” so you won't hurt their feelings. I firmly believe that lying is acceptable in our our society. Lying is justified when it can be used to protect and care others.In The U.S. Political Campaign on paragraph one it tells you that “lying to protect others can literally be a matter of life or death.” Then it talks about how, “Anne Frank survived as long as she did because those sheltering her and family…

In “Aristotle’s Four Kinds of Explanations” Aristotle explains four causes about how we explain something. In this reading, he explains his reasoning by using the because/why in four different ways. It is important to know that Aristotle was natural scientists this was founded by Plato and him.

The website about finding a new, “correct” value for pi falls into pseudoscience. The author, Mohammad-Reza Mehdinia, commits the logical fallacy of availability bias, which doubles as skipping an important aspect of science. This feature is considering previous experiments, data, or works and sifting through why they do not match with the new information. Mehdinia writes on his site that he does not include or consider the previous works involving pi in his research and calculations. While…
