Reasoning

I came home from work one day, and found my daughter’s school interim report card on the kitchen table. She usually gets really good grades, earning nothing below a B. However, to my surprise, this time around she came home with a C in History. Now, we had just bought her a new iPhone a few months prior to this incident because, as it turns out, she had made the all A honor roll. But inevitably, as with most teenagers, she ends up dedicating a considerable amount of time on her newly…

The author of, “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” does state a central point of the essay, but it’s not as clearly presented as I presume it could be. The central point in this essay is laid out in a group of paragraphs instead of a clear cut thesis sentence.

from a lie, you need to use your critical thinking skills. But what exactly is critical thinking? Critical thinking is a calculated thought process that helps you use reasoning and logic and a conclusion about an issue or idea.

Under those circumstances, the proof for one of the premises is one of the previous premises. In these cases, circular reasoning hides a problem with the premise. Form: A proves B and B proves A. Form: A proves B, B proves C, and C proves A. Example: An ungodly thinker says her reasoning is to be trusted. But how does she know?…

An example of deductive reasoning are syllogisms, which are consisted of two premises and a conclusion. An example…
