1. Reasoning by analogy - I want to save money on their energy costs, so I reason that solar power is just as effective as electricity, and solar is a cleaner energy form.
2. Sign Reasoning - A person should not drink coffee because it stains teeth so a person should also not drink soda because it stains tooth also.
3. Casual reasoning - We need to be prepared for a tsunami because California has earthquakes and is on the coastline.
4. Reasoning by criteria - My religion says I need to feed the hungry, so I should give money to charity.
5. Reasoning by example - We need to fix our debt problem or we will end up like Ireland.
6. Inductive Reasoning - People should not overspend or else they will go bankrupt.
7. Deductive Reasoning - People need to get out more to experience the world.
Hello, you have good examples for each reasonings to show that you fully understand the different types of reasoning. The example for sign reasoning was a good example because you have compared the sign of drinking too much coffee and the effects of drinking too much soda which both are able to stain a persons tooth. It is better also because the two things you compared whereas coffee and soda are similar to each other which supposedly give people energy or a sugar rush. I also liked the example used by reasoning of criteria. That your religion says to help others, so you are obligated to give money to charity or help those who are less fortunate.
ReplyDeleteYou do really good job of condensing concepts in very simple, short sentences that still provide the overall impact and information needed to inform the reader about the concept. Your examples are very clear and easy to understand. The examples aren't at all difficult to see the concept you are trying to illustrate, and all the examples you give in your post are very logical, and thought out for the use of attaching them to every concept that is needed to be compared or given an example to. Furthermore, your examples are everyday things that a plethora of people can understand relate to, which can help in leading them into understanding the concept being taught overall. Really good post.
