Description
We use inductive reasoning all the time in everyday life. Pay attention this week and give an example of a conclusion that you or your friends arrive at using a) inductive generalization OR b) analogical reasoning (focus on one). Is the argument good according to the criteria discussed in this chapter? If so, why? If not, what would make it stronger. If you’re having trouble with this discussion, you can recall any popular arguments that use inductive generalization or popular sayings that draw on analogies.

If you see an instance of these from your friends or family members, I suggest analyzing them accordingly in your discussion an articulating why they’re poor. Just be sensitive to your fellow classmates who read your post.
