I think the most important part about a cause and effect argument is how to properly understand them, and use them. For example, it is good to know that when we argue from cause to produce effect, we are using our inductive reasoning skills. On the contrary, if we argue from an effect and try to produce the cause, we are using our deductive reasoning skills.
It is also very important that we do not use any faulty logic in our reasoning. For example, we can’t base conclusions on information that we aren’t sure is true. This means, we can’t just guess or base our thoughts on coincidence because it is not concrete detail.
Another thing that is very important is to understand that direct causes are the best thing to focus on. These are also known as effects. We want to focus on direct causes that relate to each other rather than picking random and unrelated ones.

ReplyDeleteI like your post that you have about cause and effect. I feel like it gives a better explantion of cause and effect than the book does because the book seems to keep things semi vague in the end. Also, the 3 examples you give with inductive and deductive reasoning, along with basing conclusions off of unproven information also helps break down the types of cause and effects and the information that has to go with it.
