Letter from The Birmingham Jail Martin Luther King Jr Essay
Description
Choose one argument and evaluate it according to these parameters:
Determine whether it seems to be a deductive or inductive argument, and why.
Determine whether the premises really support the conclusion: does the conclusion logically follow? Is the argument complete, or are there parts missing (for instance: missing evidence)? Is it valid (if deductive) or strong (if inductive)?
Determine whether you believe the premises are true, and why (what examples/experiences/knowledge do you have that supports them). Is it sound (if deductively valid) or cogent (if inductively strong)?
Determine whether there may be any bias in the argument, and whether such bias affects the persuasiveness of the argument.
Determine whether the argument is persuasive: is it convincing? Is there a counterargument or objection possible that might challenge this argument?
