TYPES OF ARGUMENT
DEDUCTIVE ARGUMENT Example: Deductive reasoning involves starting with a general statement or hypothesis and examining the possibilities to reach a specific, logical conclusion. If the premises are true, the conclusion must also be true. Premise 1: All men are mortal. Premise 2: Socrates is a man. Conclusion: Therefore, Socrates is mortal.
2. INDUCTIVE ARGUMENT Examples: Inductive reasoning involves making broad generalizations from specific observations. The conclusion is likely, but not guaranteed, to be true. Observation: Every time I visit the cafe at 11 AM, I see the same person ordering a cappuccino. Conclusion: Therefore, this person will likely order a cappuccino at 11 AM tomorrow.
