The structure of an argument reveals both the strengths and limits of the argument; nothing more, nothing less. An argument can only be as strong as it is meant to be. The writer’s goal is to make a close depiction of this argument without overstepping any boundaries. The Toulmin method is essentially a guide for analyzing the structures of arguments. Nevertheless, this method is more effective for arguments with no absolute truths or clear solutions. This lets the writer know how to use and understand the information. There are six elements for presenting arguments in the Toulmin method: claim, grounds, warrant, backing, qualifier, and rebuttal. These elements of a Toulmin analysis can help one as both a reader and a writer; however, there…

Abstract This paper offers a brief explanation of the types of fallacies of an argument and an in-depth focus on logical fallacies. This paper will also identify four education-related examples of logical fallacies as well as discussions from each example on how they represent flawed interpretations that facilitate sensible arguments to others. Explanation of Logical Fallacies in Education Research shows that logical fallacies are observed in arguments through three categories: as material content, through misstatement of the facts; in the wording, through incorrect use of terms; or in form, through the use of inappropriate methods of assumption (Fallacy, 2014). Fallacies are also categorized as material, verbal, or formal; whereas the…

Do you think there are any missing assumptions, missing pieces of evidence, or weak premises, and does the conclusion follow from the premises? Briefly outline the strength or weakness of the syllogism.…

Just as the verbal expression of the IDEA is the TERM, and that of the JUDGMENT is the PROPOSITION, so the verbal expression of DEDUCTIVE REASONING is called ARGUMENTATION. ARGUMENTATION is a discourse which logically deduces one proposition from other propositions. ARGUMENTATION takes the form of a SYLLOGISM. A SYLLOGISM is defined as any argumentation in which, from two propositions called the PREMISES, we conclude a third proposition called the CONCLUSION, which is so related to the premises jointly, that if the premises are true, the conclusion must also be true.…
