1. Reasoning by Analogy: Kids under age already drink. The drinking age should be lowered. In a Fraternity in order to be allowed to party and drink a student must be at least 18 years of age, so what is the point of having the drinking age of 21 when serious binge drinking starts the first years of college.
2. Sign Reasoning: If someone walks down the street and smells marijuana smoke, then someone is smoking marijuana.
3. Casual Reasoning: Friday morning Alix, Morgan, and Alyssa felt sick. Julianne asked what they did the night before. Alix said she drank and danced. Morgan said she drank and smoked. Alyssa said she drank and ate La Vic’s. Julianne concluded that all three girls were feeling hung over from drinking too much.
4. Reasoning by Criteria: We are having a tour for incoming freshman, so we need rooms to look presentable. Rather than, clean your room!
5. Reasoning by Example: Are you sure you want a 4.0? Julie has a 3.8 and all she does is study. She is always sick and never sleeps.
6. Inductive: Every student is required to take 12 units today to be a fulltime student, so every student will need to take 12 units next semester to be a full time student.
7. Deductive: All students have professors. All professors give finals, therefore all students take finals.
Interesting examples. I liked your example for reasoning by analogy the most because I've seen it even before I got to college and I'm assuming you have too. The law should just change the legal age to buy and drink alcohol from the age of 21 to the age of 18 just like for dead sticks. And in my opinion, they should just legalized marijuana since I've never seen or heard anyone dying from smoking it unlike cigarette. Cigarette can cause cancers and kill people. Same goes for alcohol. Those two are included in the top leading causes of death ever since. Good job with the examples for each reasoning.
ReplyDeleteWow, I really like your examples because many of them I can relate to. I agree with reasoning by analogy that the age limit should be to 18 since a lot of underage drinks regardless of the law. However, I disagree with the fraternity and binge drinking. I’m in a fraternity and we do no promote binge drinking. It same goes with other fraternity too. For sign reasoning, that can be true if they smell like marijuana, then they smoked it. However, it could be that they were surrounded with their friends that does marijuana. Overall, all your examples were fun to read. Good job.
