The Nature of Arguments

Critical thinking makes use of arguments. In this weeks lesson, you gained an overview of what arguments are and what it means for something to be a good or bad argument. In your week one assignment, you will be writing a five paragraph essay in which you explain and illustrate the nature of the critical thinking process.

Paragraph one should answer the following questions:

What is an argument?

What are some indicators of an argument?

What is an example of an argument?

Your example does not have to be detailed. It can be a single sentence or two. It can be informal theres no need to make a premise-by-premise argument. Make sure your argument contains a rational inference, otherwise it isnt an argument.

Paragraph two should explain the meaning of cogent reasoning. In this paragraph, be sure to reference the three criteria for cogent reasoning.

Paragraph three should explain the difference between deductive valid and inductively strong arguments.
