Deductive Argument Analysis

It is of course possible that an argument for God's existence could provide some evidence for God's existence, in the sense that the argument increases the probability or plausibility of the claim that God exists, even if the argument does not provide enough support by itself for full-fledged belief that God exists. A proponent of the moral argument who viewed the argument in this way might in that case regard the argument as part of a cumulative case for theism, and hold that the moral argument must be supplemented by other possible arguments, such as the “fine-tuning” argument from the physical constants of the universe, or an argument from religious experience. A non-believer might even concede some version of a theistic argument has some evidential force, but claim that the overall balance of evidence does not support belief.

With your first argument I think you should add more to your premises or add another premise to support your conclusion. This example gives a very broad overview on alcohol related accidents. How much was the person that got into the accident drinking. You could add a premise that states this many percent of people drive while being legally intoxicated. I would also add for premise one the percent of people that die in alcohol-related accidents every year or for a certain number of years. This will make your argument stronger.

Yes. The author gives many moral reasons why he believes an invasion on Iraq would be wrong.

The argument on whether or not racing is a sport or race car drivers are athletes has existed as long as racing has been around. It has been a debate that has stirred up great controversy and has divided up the fan base of all sports on this subject matter. Many people on the subject matter will pick a side but usually will not have any evidence or reasonable explanations as to why they chose that position. In “Round the Track: it might look simple, but racing takes athletic skill”, Bob Pockrass provides the reader with evidence from a “Sport Sciences” story for ESPN what a Nascar Sprint Cup driver’s body endure through out a race. In the second article “Drivers may not be athletes, but what they do is no game”, Ed Hilton provides the reader

Through understanding the errors, I made in Writing Assignment #3 (WA #3) I was able to edit and better understand what corrections was needed for Writing Assignment #4 (WA #4) to become a well thought out paper. For WA #3 I received a B+ because of the lack of further development in my argument, which made the voice in the argument, the context behind sources and the thesis weaker.

A deductive argument tends to work from the generalized to the more specific. It often referred to as a top-down approach informally. The conclusions that are made in deductive argument follow logically from the facts that are available. A deductive approach can be taken on the statement traditional publishing has been rendered unnecessary by the rise of digital publication. Electrical publishing which is also referred to as ePublishing or digital publishing involves the publication of e-books, electronic articles, digital libraries and EPUBS. It is becoming a common trend to distribute books, newspapers and even magazines directly to readers through tablet reading devices. This has been generated by vendors who operate online like Apple iTunes bookstore and books in the android market among others. Market researchers have made suggestions that most of the magazines and newspapers that will be in circulation will be done through digital means by 2015(Sader, 2004). Most of the publishing companies are also considering making agreements with these electronic publishing networks like Apple so that they can increase the publications through them and eventually no more traditional publishing will be done (Rothchild, I. 2006). From the look at the general trend in publishing that most people and firms are taking as depicted above, it is safe to take the deductive conclusion that "Traditional publishing has been rendered unnecessary by the

With Helen moving from San Francisco to Portland, she should follow IRC §217 which outlines deductions for moving expenses. The code states “There shall be allowed as a deduction moving expenses paid or incurred during the taxable year in connection with the commencement of work by the taxpayer as an employee or as a self-employed individual at a new principal place of work.” Additional, Helen meets the two requirements under §217(c). As this move relates to Helen’s job and falls within the distance requirement of at least 50 miles from her former residence and her former workplace. Also, during the first 12 month period following her arrival in Portland, Helen must remain a full-time employee for at least 39 weeks to be eligible for the

As in the entire book, in the chapter “Analyzing Arguments” the authors write to college students, particularly college freshmen. In this chapter the writers emphasize the importance of critically analyzing arguments provided by different sources and the reasons given by each. The authors wrote this chapter with the objective of explaining and aiding students by providing them with the skills required to accurately scrutinize other’s reasoning. Throughout “Analyzing Arguments” the authors demonstrate their authority and knowledge on the subject being discussed by explaining and simplifying the procedure of analyzing arguments.

In the scenario that is given about a male drunk driver who crashes and kills two people in the back seat of the car, while driving home thought it was safe. It is said that all his friends were drunker than he was and he thought it was the right thing to do. When he went on trial he defended himself by saying “I was only trying to help.” The main issue is whether your viewpoint is a deontological viewpoint or a teleological viewpoint and how these viewpoints would argue this situation. Many would argue that he is wrong and he deserves a consequence and others may argue something different.

I think you have a strong argument overall. I understand where you are coming from when you are saying that you believe that the judiciary should leave it up to Congress and the President to determine the policies and procedures. I think that this argument is well supported by Scalia’s assertion in his dissent. He states that” the Court [breaks] a chain of precedent as old as the common law that prohibits judicial inquiry into detentions of aliens abroad absent statutory authorization” (page 227).

This is interesting. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to replicate this issue on our end, but Kevin has noticed that there was an ajax error on the Drupal logs. We will continue to look at it and keep you posted.

Kulas and Stachowski (2008) summed up the reasons for the “false middle” as the “middle response category being at least occasionally utilized as a ‘‘dumping ground” for not applicable, uncertain, indifferent or ambivalent response orientations”. They also recommended including a non-applicable (N/A) response option to help to distinguish the ‘‘dumping ground” orientation from ‘‘valid” middle category responses. Much has been written about the effects of including a middle-point or “neutral option”, however, when the data has already collected, it is imperative that a decision is made on how to analyse it. This is the propose of this paper: to show some options on how to deal with excess middle responses, when the middle seems to have been

In the Modus Ponens propaganda poster I portray John Locke stating, “If I’m using Modus Ponens, then this argument is valid. I’m using Modus Ponens. Therefore, this argument is valid.” I use testimonial in my poster to get my message across about how to use Modus Ponens; in addition, I also wanted to convey that the way I used Modus Ponens in my argument is correct. I “take advantage of the fact that there are certain people we tend to trust” in order to use “your feelings toward the famous person [to] transfer to the product or cause he or she is endorsing” (Shabo 62-63). In my posters, I have a picture of Rene Descartes, a French philosopher, who is known for having made a connection between geometry and algebra, thus allowing for geometric

Understanding by Design is a backwards design that consist of knowing what the ending result is and teaching based off that (Woolfolk, 2016). The teachers would look at what they want the students to know, and then they would build the curriculum. For example, if you were trying to teach a math unit, first the teacher would want to look at the standard. Then, they would build the post-test off the standard. Finally, they would base all the information they teach off the post test. The Understanding by Design removes the argument of “teaching to the test vs teaching the test”, because all the test are based off of the standard. UbD is good because at the end of the unit every child should know the same thing. Instead of some students being left
