Also… This presentation will be broken down and answers will be given in the following areas: Identify the two most compelling arguments that were presented. List one that had a logical error in it but which you still thought was important. Were there any errors in truth with the argument? Describe what those errors were and what made them errors. Were there any errors in validity with the argument? Describe what those errors were and what made them errors. Revise the argument so that it removes all errors. Restate it in a logically sound way. Outline the steps you would use to evaluate an argument. Let us review each of the above regarding each career choice and each individual that recommended that career. The next slide will begin reviewing these arguments or choices with your mothers career choice.
- Identify the two most compelling arguments that were presented. List one that had a logical error in it but which you still thought was important. I felt all three arguments were important. I have been in all three industries and understand the importance of all three. According to Global Partners for Education (2013), “Education is more than reading, writing, and arithmetic. It is one of the most important investments a country can make in its people and its future and is critical to reducing poverty and inequality” (Para. 2). Logical error is that not all students will learn and avoid poverty and inequality, however it is still important that all students try. Were there any errors in truth with the argument? Describe what those errors were and what made them errors. I found errors in truth on the educational side. Education does not teach students how to avoid poverty or inequality. Teachers do not always make a difference with all students. Were there any errors in validity with the argument? Describe what those errors were and what made them errors. Validation will be needed in the statement that education does make a difference in the world. That is a generalize statement that has to be supporting be facts not just opinions. Revise the argument so that it removes all errors. Restate it in a logically sound way. Each argument should be revised to state facts, statistics, interviews from individuals in the field, etc. This would allow for a more logical sound argument. A outline used for each argument to come to a decision. are in the form of questions: What careers interest me? What do my family and friends suggest? What do I want to accomplish with my career? What will make me truly happy? The next slide will begin with your father’s career choice.
- Identify the two most compelling arguments that were presented. List one that had a logical error in it but which you still thought was important. I felt all three arguments were important. I have been in all three industries and understand the importance of all three. According to "Management Study Guide" (2013), “Although the business environment has been endlessly experiencing negative changes such as economic downsizing and restructuring resulting in fewer hierarchical positions but at the same time the need for improving productivity while keeping a pace with continuously changing technology has also increased” (Importance of Career Development, para. 1). Logical error that no career in business is infinite or promised. On the other hand, business is needed in all industries so being flexible will be to your advantage. Were there any errors in truth with the argument? Describe what those errors were and what made them errors. The error in truth with business is that you are not always insured a infinite career or options. An individual may have to work in areas of business that he or she is over qualified for just to have a job. Were there any errors in validity with the argument? Describe what those errors were and what made them errors. Validation will be needed in the statement that education does make a difference in the world. That is a generalize statement that has to be supporting be facts not just opinions. Revise the argument so that it removes all errors. Restate it in a logically sound way.

What will make me truly happy? The next slide will begin with your friends career choice.
- Identify the two most compelling arguments that were presented. List one that had a logical error in it but which you still thought was important. I felt all three arguments were important. I have been in all three industries and understand the importance of all three. According to "The Importance Of Technology" (n.d.), “Today technical innovations representing progressive developments are emerging to make use of technology’s competitive advantage. Through convergence of technologies, different fields combine together to produce similar goals” (The Importance of Technology, para. 1). Logical error in my opinion does not apply here. Technology is every changing and very important for any country to continue to advance in technology. Were there any errors in truth with the argument? Describe what those errors were and what made them errors. No other degree concentration is as innovative. This is not true any degree in medicine is also innovative. Were there any errors in validity with the argument? Describe what those errors were and what made them errors. Technology will always be changing and improving and I feel that argument can stand alone without validation. Revise the argument so that it removes all errors. Restate it in a logically sound way. Each argument should be revised to state facts, statistics, interviews from individuals in the field, etc. This would allow for a more logical sound argument. A outline used for each argument to come to a decision. are in the form of questions: What careers interest me? What do my family and friends suggest? What do I want to accomplish with my career? What will make me truly happy? Final slide concludes on the career I choose after considering in depth the arguments of each individual mentioned, and his or her career recommendations.
- Which argument did I choose? Career in business is the one I choose as the career choice. Business structure is needed in all industries including education and technology. It is a vital vein for companies, school systems, and all technological advances success. Where there any errors in truth with any of these arguments? I found errors in truth on the educational side. Education does not teach students how to avoid poverty or inequality. Teachers do not always make a difference with all students. Where there any errors in validity with the three arguments? I feel there is a question of validity with two of the arguments teaching and business. Technology will always be changing and improving and I feel that argument can stand alone without validation. Why each argument was revised to be presented in a more logical sound way. Each argument should be revised to state facts, statistics, interviews from individuals in the field, etc. This would allow for a more logical sound argument. A outline used for each argument to come to a decision are in the form of questions: What career interest me? What do my family and friends suggest? What do I want to accomplish with my career? What will make me truly happy?
