For each number below, complete a thoughtful and thorough paragraph long enough to demonstrate your understanding of the subject matter of the class. The Argument and Syllogism: Complete a thoughtful and thorough paragraph long enough to demonstrate your understanding of the course concepts indicated. Summarize the overall argument of the video in your own words. Be sure to include details and the main points the speaker used to make the argument.

Based upon the syllogism (your answer to Part 1. B), does this argument demonstrate inductive or deductive reasoning? Provide support for your choice. Be sure to only choose deductive OR inductive; you cannot choose both or neither. If the argument is deductive, test your syllogism (your answers to Part 1. B) in terms of logical validity and soundness. Be sure to not only tell if the syllogism is valid and sound but also show how/how not or why/why not. If the argument is inductive, test your syllogism (your answers from Part 1. B) in terms of being a stronger or weaker inductive argument. Be sure to not only tell if the syllogism is stronger or weaker but also show how or why.

Identify at least one specific rhetorical device and one specific logical fallacy in the way this topic is presented.

Also, discuss whether you think the use of each device and fallacy was deliberate or not and assess the effect that each one has on the argument. NOTE: Remember, ethos, pathos, and logos are rhetorical appeals, NOT devices, so they are not what is being asked here. This is asking about rhetorical devices. Moral Reasoning: Complete a thoughtful and thorough paragraph long enough to demonstrate your understanding of the course concepts indicated. A. Which specific kind of moral reasoning is demonstrated in your topic? Briefly elaborate on why you chose the one you did. Be sure to define the specific kind of moral reasoning you chose and demonstrate how or why the source employs them. Also, discuss whether the use of this kind of moral reasoning was deliberate and what effect it has on the persuasiveness of the argument. Reaction and Reflection: Offer your position on the argument presented in the video you selected. Using your critical thinking skills, explain whether the speaker’s argument was effective or ineffective, and why. Conclusion: What are the positive implications and negative consequences for the critical reasoning concepts that were used throughout your paper and in the video?

Include a title page, indicating which topic you chose. Adhere to basic APA formatting, including: 12-point Times New Roman font Double-spaced text 1-inch margins throughout Support your logic with in-text citations from our textbook.

Make sure this paper includes all of the following:

Understanding the Arguments Does the student demonstrate the ability to discern the speaker’s 1) issue, 2) target audience, 3) conclusion, 3) main points, and 4) unstated, implied, or assumed perspectives? Does the student accurately and faithfully summarize them in the student’s own words in detail without being too reductive or without oversimplifying the source’s points? Identifying and Applying Course Concepts Does the student accurately identify and define the course terms and ideas indicated by the prompts?

The student can correctly identify course concepts including objectivity/subjectivity, facts/beliefs/ideas, fallacies, biases, rhetorical devices/appeals, valid and sound deductive syllogisms, stronger or weaker inductive syllogisms, and various types of moral reasoning.Analysis and Evaluation of Course Concepts Can the student explain if the source’s use of course concepts are effective or ineffective, and why they would be effective or ineffective to the target audience?

The “Exceeds” response assumes the student understands who the target audience is and can posit how that audience may respond to different arguments and rhetoric. They are explaining why a specific rhetorical strategy works on the target audience or how a fallacy like ad hominem preys on an in-group bias. make sure this paper completes these requirements
