•
1 like•2,449 views
Arguments based on analogies often overlook important differences between the two things being compared. Examples are provided that use analogies in absurd ways by drawing comparisons between unrelated things like a person growing on another like a bacterial colony or having a perfectly oval face shaped like a circle compressed by an exercise device. A further example is given of being as lame as a duck that was literally lame from stepping on a land mine.

How to summarize
The six-step process for summarizing a document involves reading the document thoroughly, re-reading to identify the main idea and key terms, outlining the information by dividing it into sections, writing a rough draft of the summary in your own words while maintaining the original sequence of ideas, editing the rough draft, and comparing the summary to the original document. When writing a summary, the introduction should state the main idea, the body should explain each section using the author's key words and important ideas, and the conclusion should avoid adding new data and not use your own ideas. Summaries must avoid plagiarism by stating all references used, avoiding direct quotes, and properly citing sources using APA style.
Argument
An argument is a logical structure with premises that lead to a conclusion. Arguments can be evaluated based on validity, truth, and soundness. Validity means the conclusion follows logically from the premises. An argument is sound if it is valid and all premises are true. Inductive and deductive reasoning differ in strengths and weaknesses. Inductive relies on experience while deductive accepts fixed definitions, but may lead to apparently necessary but false conclusions. Fallacies and counterarguments should be considered when critically evaluating arguments.

Valid and sound Argument (disclaimer)
This document discusses the concepts of validity, soundness, inductive and deductive arguments. It provides examples of valid and invalid arguments. The key points are:
- Inductive arguments cite evidence to reasonably support a conclusion, while deductive arguments aim to conclusively establish a thesis.
- An argument is valid if the conclusion must be true if the premises are true, regardless of whether the premises and conclusion are actually true.
- An argument is sound if it is valid and all premises are true, making the conclusion necessarily true.
- Examples are used to illustrate valid versus invalid argument forms and how to identify the patterns that determine validity.
Logical fallacy examples
This document defines and provides examples of common logical fallacies used to invalidate arguments. It discusses fallacies such as ad hominem where one attacks the person instead of the issue, begging the question by assuming the conclusion as fact, false cause where an unrelated cause is cited to explain an event, and slippery slope implying one small step leads to catastrophe. Other fallacies presented include false analogy, oversimplification, rationalization, red herring, two wrongs make a right, hasty generalization, and straw man.
Developing A Research Question
The document provides guidance on developing a strong research question for a social studies project. It explains that a good research question addresses an issue or problem that cannot be answered by a single fact or source. Students are instructed to consider a broad topic, narrow it to a specific aspect, and write 3-4 open-ended questions to help select the best research question. Examples of potential research topics related to the Progressive Era are given to help students generate their own questions.
Operational definitions
This document discusses key concepts related to operationalizing and measuring variables in research. It defines constructs, operational definitions, scales of measurement, and different modalities of measurement. Specifically, it explains that researchers must operationally define abstract concepts by developing clear rules for measurement. Variables can be measured directly or indirectly, and must be defined conceptually and operationally. Measurement involves assigning numerals to objects or events according to specific rules and can occur on scales involving multiple observed items that capture an underlying latent variable. Researchers must also consider validity, reliability, and different modalities of measurement including self-report, physiological, and behavioral measures.
Academic research
The document provides guidance on the academic research process. It discusses developing a research topic and question. Researchers must determine the scope of their work and timeline. They should use primary and secondary sources, taking detailed notes and evaluating source credibility. The drafting process involves writing a thesis, incorporating sources via quotes and paraphrasing, and revising. Researchers must follow formatting guidelines for citations and references in the final paper. Reliability of sources depends on the intended use and medium of the information. The academic research process requires determining a focused topic and question, conducting thorough research and analysis, and properly presenting findings.

It also includes examples of APA citation style for different source types such as books, journal articles, and online sources. The key message is that plagiarism can be avoided by being honest about sources and giving proper credit when using others' work.
Summarizing and Paraphrasing
This document provides guidance on summarizing, paraphrasing, and synthesizing information from other sources in academic writing. It explains that summarizing involves shortening a text while maintaining its key points in your own words. Paraphrasing requires changing the words and structure of a passage but keeping the original meaning. Synthesizing combines information from multiple sources into a new, shorter text. The document offers tips for each task, such as selecting relevant information and finding synonyms, as well as checking that the original meaning is preserved and sources are properly cited.
Paraphrasing
This document defines paraphrasing and provides guidance on how to properly paraphrase sources. It states that paraphrasing involves taking an author's words and making them your own while maintaining the overall meaning. Paraphrasing should be slightly shorter than the original and change the wording and sentence structure significantly. The document outlines a five-step process for paraphrase and discusses common mistakes like not altering the wording or ideas enough that can result in plagiarism. It also provides two sample paraphrases, identifying one as plagiarized for not changing the structure or words, while the other is not plagiarized because it properly cites the source and rewords the original passage.

Dean r berry fallacy false dichotomy
This document discusses the logical fallacy of false dichotomy. It provides examples of statements that present only two choices while excluding other options. These forced choices are described as logical fallacies meant to manipulate the reader into accepting one position. The document analyzes several examples of statements that may or may not constitute a false dichotomy. It encourages critical thinking about whether dichotomies presented offer a complete picture or leave out viable alternatives.
Parenthetical Citations
The document provides guidance on using parenthetical citations, including:
1) Citations are used to give credit to sources of direct quotes, paraphrases, and summaries.
2) Basic citations include the author's last name and page number.
3) Punctuation goes outside the parentheses, unless it's part of the quote.
4) Citations can include the author's name in the sentence instead of in parentheses.
5) Internet sources without authors or titles should be avoided if possible due to credibility issues.
Logical fallacies
This document discusses logical fallacies and provides examples of common fallacies. It defines 14 different types of fallacies including hasty generalization, begging the question, slippery slope, appeal to authority, and straw man. For each fallacy it provides a definition and example to illustrate how the fallacy works. It also includes examples of arguments and asks the reader to identify which fallacy is being committed.
Academic Writing
Academic writing is formal writing produced by students in response to academic content. It uses complex vocabulary and grammar precisely and accurately without colloquial language. Academic writing is objective rather than personal, and everything stated must be supported by proof and sources with connections between ideas made explicit.
Avoiding plagiarism
This document defines plagiarism as presenting someone else's work as your own. It explains that plagiarism is considered fraud and stealing because the work belongs to someone else. The document provides tips for avoiding plagiarism such as not copying text from websites, not reusing other papers, paraphrasing and citing sources properly using quotes. It includes examples of proper paraphrasing and using citations. The key lessons are that plagiarism violates copyright law, presents ideas without properly giving credit to the original author, and does not demonstrate your own learning.
Analyzing literature
The document provides guidance on how to analyze literature through close reading and interpretation. It explains that close reading involves making connections, inferences, and conclusions about the text. Literary analysis requires re-reading to comprehend elements like setting, plot, and characters, and then interpreting themes, character motivations, and the author's choices. The analysis should make a statement about the overall work by identifying patterns and rhetorical devices used by the author to deliver a specific message.
Apraising analogical argument
Analogical arguments claim that a conclusion is probable based on similarities between two or more things. To evaluate the strength of an analogical argument, six criteria are used: 1) the number of similar entities or cases in the premises, 2) the variety of those cases, 3) the number of similar respects between the cases, 4) the relevance of those respects, 5) any dissimilarities between the cases, and 6) how modest the conclusion's claim is based on the premises. Arguments are stronger when they have more entities, a variety of cases, many relevant similar respects, few dissimilarities, and more modest conclusions.
Analogies
This document provides examples of analogies to demonstrate how they work. An analogy shows a relationship between two pairs of words. The first example shows that grass is green, so the sky, like grass, is blue. More analogies are given comparing different objects and their related words, such as milk to glass and soup to bowl. The document aims to illustrate analogies through multiple examples of pairs of words that have something in common.

This document discusses inductive arguments. It defines inductive arguments as those whose premises provide evidence for but do not guarantee the conclusion. It then examines 4 types of inductive arguments: enumerative induction, statistical syllogism, causal argument, and analogy. It provides examples of each type and criteria for evaluating the reliability and strength of inductive arguments.
Analogy
Este documento presenta una lista de 10 puntos que van de la letra a hasta la j. Cada punto parece contener una breve sección o idea, pero sin más contexto es difícil determinar el tema general o conclusión del documento.
Representation bias
Representative bias occurs when a decision maker recalls past experiences that are similar to the current decision-making situation. This represents the representativeness heuristic, where people see commonality between items that appear similar or part of the same group. For example, if someone meets three aggressive people from the same company, they may assume the whole company has an aggressive culture. The representativeness heuristic can also lead to stereotyping, such as assuming all beggars are poor or that women are bad drivers.
Analogy
- An analogy compares two concepts to explain an unfamiliar idea by drawing parallels between them. It can be used as a type of argument or figure of speech like a simile or metaphor.
- Jodi Picoult uses the analogy of a burning building to represent the threat of death, with the mother willing to risk her own life to save her child, just as the character sends her child into danger to save another.
- John Green compares being trapped in life's decisions to being lost in a labyrinth, with people imagining escaping it through an idealized future, just as the character feels trapped in her present circumstances.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

- 2. Examples She grew on him like she was a colony of E. Coli, and he was room-temperature Canadian beef. Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently compressed by a ThighMaster. He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck, either, but a real duck that was actually lame, maybe from stepping on a land mine or something.
