Week 13 Post 2

From chapter 15, I found the using reasoning effectively interesting. As I mentioned in my first post, mine did not work! There are four different types which I will break down by definition, strengths, and weaknesses. The first type is deductive, which is when the speaker argues from a general or precise case. Its strengths rely on logical reasoning, and weaknesses and invalid premises leading to false conditions. The next type I would like to explain is inductive reasoning. For that you use specific example to general principal. Its strengths are that is visualizes and personalizes the argument. On the other hand its weaknesses and that it might lack representation sufficiency or relevance. Another type of reasoning is casual, which is when you explain how one event causes another. Its strengths are that its useful for explanation and prediction, and weaknesses are it may be incorrect cause and an effective link. The last form of reasoning is analogical. Its strengths are that it draws similarities between two distinct cases, and weaknesses are it might be ignoring key differences.
