Your thoughts should then be distilled into a mini-argument that will respond affirmatively to the four tests for evaluating arguments: truthfulness of premises, logical strength, relevance, and non-circularity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Instructions<\/strong><br \/>\nFor this journal assignment,\u00a0<strong>briefly<\/strong>\u00a0answer\u00a0<strong>each<\/strong>\u00a0of the following prompts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Inference:<\/strong>\u00a0The differing meanings of \u201cvalid inference\u201d and \u201cwarranted inference\u201d are closely related to the differing purposes of deductive and inductive arguments \u2013 the purpose of deductive being to prove; the purpose of inductive to make the conclusion most probable.\n<ul>\n<li>Look up the words \u201cvalid\u201d and \u201cwarranted.\u201d Each of these words, you will find, has what is known as a lexical definition \u2013 that is just the dictionary definition of the word. Words also have a certain connotations \u2013 meanings that go beyond their lexical definitions; associated ideas and concepts \u2013 think of terms such a \u201cfur baby\u201d as the name for a pet.<\/li>\n<li>Briefly discuss how the lexical definitions and connotations of \u201cvalid\u201d and \u201cwarranted\u201d can help us understand the differing purposes of deductive and inductive arguments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fallacies:<\/strong>\u00a0In Section 8.2, the text states that there are \u201cfallacious argument templates\u201d (Facione &amp; Gittens, p. 167) and then gives a number of examples. The authors further state: \u201cAnalysis of the meanings of the terms used and the grammatical rules of the language reveal the source of error\u201d (p.167).\n<ul>\n<li>Choose one of the fallacies in this section, such as Denying the Antecedent or False Classification and pair it with the valid argument template. For example, if you choose Denying the Antecedent, the valid argument template will be Denying the Consequent. False Classification would pair with one of the fallacies in Reasoning About Classes of Objects.<\/li>\n<li>Explain, in your own words, how the fallacy is revealed through analysis of the valid argument template.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Civic Responsibility:<\/strong>\u00a0At the end of Chapter 9 there is a Bonus Exercise that asks you to research and analyze the 2009 debate over the healthcare public option. If you were actually to complete that exercise, it would take quite a bit of time and effort.\n<ul>\n<li>Do you think that completing such an exercise would be time well spent or time wasted? If well-spent, why? If time wasted, why?<\/li>\n<li>Is there any issue on which you think a comparable amount of time and effort would be worthwhile?<\/li>\n<li>As a critical thinker, do you believe that citizens have an obligation to be informed on topics of current interest? If yes, why, if no, why not?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you include references to outside sources (beyond the textbook), make sure you cite them properly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Writing Requirements (APA format)<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Length: 2-3 pages (not including title page or references page)<\/li>\n<li>1-inch margins<\/li>\n<li>Double spaced<\/li>\n<li>12-point Times New Roman font<\/li>\n<li>Title page<\/li>\n<li>References page (as needed)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Grading<\/strong><br \/>\nThis activity will be graded using the Journal Grading Rubric.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Course Outcomes (CO): 3, 4, 5, 6<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Due Date: By 11:59 p.m. MT on Sunday<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Facione, P.
