A. Evaluating the premmises
as we talked about before there are three tests a argument must pass to be a good argument and they are;
1. there is a good reason to believe the premise
2. the premises are mor plausible than the conclusion
3. the argument is strong or valid
and there are three choices we can make about whether to believe a claim
1.accept the claim as true
2.reject the claim as false
3.suspend judgement
Analysis:I believe that this is a strong argument and that it passes the test to be a good argument and the decision I make about iit is to accept the claim as true.
B.Criteria for acceoting or rejecting claims
1.we accept a claim if we know it is true from our own experience
2.we reject a claim if we know it is false from our own experience
but there are some exceptions:
-we have good reason to doubt our memory or our perception
-the claim contradicts other experiences of ours, and there is a good argument against the claim
So we have to base it on our experience and also on other sources because it may not be reliable or it may just be a fake and a phony!
Analysis:so like i said before i accept this add to be true and the reason i accept it is because through personal experience and also because this is such a big deal the sources are reliable and we all know the truths of it.
Be kind to our earth :)

Hard At Work, I love the advertisement you chose. I too accept the claim it makes. This advertisement is easy to accept because it has been so ingrained from different sources, the government, environmentalist, teachers, parents and other peers that what we are currently doing is harming the earth and we are not being very smart about how we are treating the Earth. What we are currently doing causing harm to the Earth, and if we continue on our pattern soon the Earth will not be, as we know it now. If I were Earth I would definitely be calling mankind stupid. Great example once again!
