1. The premises are plausible
2.The premises are more plausible than the conclusion
3.The argumet is valid or strong
Example argument:
I think Hondas are the best cars to save gas in.My family thinks hondas are the best cars to save gas in.Everyone I know thinks that hondas are the best cars to save gas in.
Question #1:Is the premises plausible?
The premise is true, I believe that hondas are the best car to save gas in, and my family also believes that hondas are the best cars to conserve gas in. The premise is more plausible than the conclusion because it is impossible for everyone to believe that hondas are the best car to believe in, some believe that toyotas are the best.It is impossible because not everyone has driven a honda to experience how good they are on gas.
Question#2:Is the premises are more plausible than the conclusion?
The premises is more plausible than the conclusion, because it is impossible for everyone I know to believe that hondas are the most efficent gas saver.Unless everyone I knew went out and test drove a honda for a few days they really would not have the knowledge to agree with my family ane I.
Question #3:Is the argumet is valid or strong?
No my argument is not strong. Since it is impossible for everyone I know to have driven a honda and tested the gas mileage it would be incorrect of me to say that everyone thinks that hondas are the best gas savers.
I really liked your post and i think that is was very easy to understand. You had a nice structure. You made all your points really clear. You explained what the rules are for telling if an argument is a good one or not. Then you stated the three tests that need to be done to test whether an argument is a good one or not. Then you use you a good example as well and then you go in depth about the three tests as you got to them. Overall, your post was very clear and i thought it was pretty good
ReplyDeleteWow, as what smashin24 said this was a really good blog post. It made it hella easier to understand the different test for an argument. I especially loved how you have the example and used that example to the testing. By the testing, using the three test in order to see if it is a valid or strong argument, or even one that is good. The testing was very detailed and I really appreciated that for its being.
ReplyDeleteI used to have a honda and it ate so much gas, then again it was a V6 lol....
