THE ARGUMENT THAT LEADS TO A CONCLUSION

-

 


ARGUMENT IS

An argument is a set of statements some of which, the premises, are offered in support of another statements, the conclusion. Arguing is not just about what your mentors do. We all use logic every day, and you already have some skill in formulating an argument. The more you improve your skills in this area, the better you will be able to think critically, reason, choose and weigh evidence. The argument is actually the support the main theme, and is not an opinion, and is based on facts and evidence.

Can be introduced premises of an argument as reasons that are given in support of a view, which is expressed in the conclusion of the argument. In order to come to a good conclusion, the premises must be accurate and standardized. 



Let’s see a very simple example of an argument:

 Nimal was driving his car over the speed limit. He had no excuse for driving over the speed limit. Furthermore, he was intoxicated. Therefore, Nimal was breaking the law.

Premises:  

  • Nimal was driving his truck over the speed limit. 
  • Nimal had no excuse for driving over the speed limit. 
  • Nimal was intoxicated. 

Conclusion: 

  • Nimal was breaking the law.

Types of Argument


There are three basic types of argument. These are Classical or Aristotelian argument, toulmin argument and rogerian argument. These vary depending on the occasion of use.

The classical or Aristotelian form of reasoning is the most common argument. It was developed by the Greek philosopher Aristotle. The Toulmin model for argumentative essays was developed by Stephen Toulmin to analyze an argument. Unlike the classical model of argument, it presents only one side of argument. This model works well then there no clear truth or an absolute solution to a problem. The Rogerian model of argument works on collaboration and cooperation. It recognizes that an argument can be viewed from different perspectives.


The History and Importance of Argument

Arguments are often as old as language. In fact, language can be systematically introduced to human primates before influencing each other's behavior without resorting to violence. When it began, however, the argument was extremely broad human behavior. Different cultures have different ideas. Some rulers try to suppress the argument, while others have historically accepted it.

Argument is a very important part of life. Argument is how everything in lofe is solved. Everyday people have different opinions on how things should be and argument is a way to solve a problem. Studying argument is a good way to develop your skills to persuade someone to believe in your argument.

CONCLUSION

Arguments play a major role in establishing a conclusion. A conclusion is formed on the basis of argument.

NEED AND IMPORTANCE OF ETHICS

  The reason for writing this blog on ethics is that ethics and everyday life are inseparable. By knowing ethics, knowing what is right and wrong, what is good and bad, a person can lead his life right and good. The purpose of moral conduct is happiness. In this case, a person who behaves morally is a happy person, but some may deny it. Beyond that, ethical behavior can lead to a peaceful relationship and a peaceful community as a result. We are guided by ethics, decision making, and behavior. When we face many problems, at least, we know how to deal with problems and how to behave in a situation. In some situations, we often do not know how to solve certain ethical problems and do not know how to behave ethically. Ethics thus provide guidance on how to deal with a problem at a particular time and in a specific situation. We read daily in newspapers about corruption, bribery, kidnapping, violence and murder. What has happened to our society? , Why do people kill their conscie

LOGICAL EMPIRICISM

  Empiricism is a philosophical theory that argues that human knowledge is derived entirely from sensory experience. The philosophy of empiricism was first introduced in an essay on human understanding by John Locke. Locke argued that man was the only systematic experience in which knowledge could be obtained. Locke strongly argued that people do not have the ability to formulate or obtain inherent ideas. In empiricism there was a general concern about scientific methodology and a special study of the important role that science could play in reshaping society. In that scientific methodology, rational empiricists wanted to find a natural and important role for logic and mathematics and to gain an understanding of the philosophy that was part of the scientific enterprise. Empiricism ignores the concept of innate ideas and focuses entirely on experience and evidence as it relates to sensory cognition. Empiricism is a philosophical belief that your knowledge of the world is based
