1). Read through the different types of reasoning posted to the instructors blog. Give an example of each type of reasoning outlined on the instructors blog. The example should be something the folks in class can relate to, so try to use real world examples.
1). Reasoning by Analogy
Example: Doing drugs because it is "cool" is like committing a murder because your "role model" told you to.
2). Sign Reasoning
Example: Where there is girls, there is drama.
3). Casual Reasoning
Example: Drunk driving causes injury or death.
4). Reasoning by Criteria
Example: Either when I walk outside my home it will be hot or cold. If it is cold outside when I walk out, it is not going to be hot.
5). Reasoning by Example
Example: You should go to the Jessica's party and make friends. My best friend went to one of her parties and she ended up making over a dozen friends.
6). Inductive
Example: I drive to school every Monday and Wednesday morning at 7:00 am. Tomorrow is Wednesday so I will drive to school at 7:00 am.
7). Deductive
Example: All green vegetables are healthy. Broccoli is a green vegetable. Broccoli is healthy.
Hi CErcolini! Over all i really liked this post. All of the examples you gave I could relate to. I really liked your example of reasoning by analogy, "Doing drugs because it is "cool" is like committing a murder because your "role model" told you to". I thought it was a very simple by clever example! I also liked you examples for reasoning by example, deductive reasoning and inductive reasoning. From just reading those examples I got a pretty good idea of what they meant. Though with you examples for sign reasoning and casual reasoning, I'm sure they as well are very good examples, its just when I just read the example I still don;t have a very good idea of what they exactly mean. But other than that I think this was a good post! Great job!
