WEEK 6: VALIDITY AND GOOD ARGUMENT


General deductive reason:

General Information (BIG) to Specific Conclusion (small)

Example:  All birds can fly. Ciki is a bird, therefore it can fly. *VALID*
But sometime this premises might be wrong. because maybe ciki wings is broken so it couldnt fly.


Inductive argument 

Specific Information (small) to General Information (BIG)

Example:  
Statistical Argument- rests on statistical evidence results
Not only that, predictive argument is that has a conclusion , a prediction in the future that will happen.
