A strong argument is when good evidence is used to support the claim therefore making the premises true. For example I recently discovered that I was allergic to nuts. I began getting rashes on my arms and face and could not figure it out for the longest time, but one day when I was eating sushi I got the rash again. I was wondering why I kept getting it till I figured that every time I had gotten the rash I had peanuts or any type of nuts with it. So because of the evidence I was able to declare that I was allergic to nuts.
A valid argument is when the premises are true and the conclusion is true as well. An example of this would be when my friend and I were watching the Superbowl he stated that since some of the Steeler’s players are injured and must be taken out that they will lose. In the end they lost. So this makes it a valid argument because both the premises and conclusion is true.
I don’t know much about football, but it seems logical that if some players of a team are taken out during a game, they would have less of a chance to win because they have less people playing. The good players must have been injured for the team to lose or maybe not. Wow, there are so many people who are allergic to things. So far, I have not found anything I am allergic to, but nuts? I love nuts and I would sad if I had an allergy to them. Luckily you found out what you were allergic to. You must feel relieved! But it must have been difficult in the past not knowing what was causing the rash and itchiness.
ReplyDeleteGood examples but wait.. so you're allergic to SUSHI too? Or just nuts? I would be horrified if I was allergic to sushi..It's SO good, but I guess nuts are okay..so you're not missing out on much :).. but I agree with Missbackz. It definitely makes sense for a team to lose because a good player was taken off during the game. I personally think football is boring and hard to understand with the whole "yard" thing, but a lot of people love the superbowl for some reason.. I heard a few of my friends were betting on who would win too!
ReplyDeleteCool examples. :) I get confused a bit sometimes when reading the text, so seeing everyone's own interpretation of the books really smooths everything out in helping me understand all the concepts. I never really realized how many people are allergic to things, it's insane.
ReplyDeleteI was really stoked about how the game ended at since my dad won his bet, lol. ^_^ I haven't really watched much football, but whenever I did (usually with my brother and dad), I enjoyed it. It was a nice bonding time, man. :) As mentioned by Amapelle and missbeckz, it's clear how the absence of good football players, as well as limiting the number of players in general, can really affect the game in its entirety for a team. It comes out for a great example, particularly when creating a valid or strong argument.
