Inductive
Reasoning that goes from particular to general
Example: Jane is in great shape, and she jogs.
(Observation) Bill looks terrific, and he jogs. (Observation) Kim’s great muscle definition is from
jogging. (Observation, Inference) Therefore, people who jog look good.
(Generalization)

Evaluating Inductive Arguments
Are the observations accurate?Are there enough observations to
justify the generalization?Don’t Rush to Conclusions!

Evaluation Examples
Example 1Jimmy plagiarized his Com 299 final
paper.All Com 299 students plagiarize.
Example 2My cat is gray.My sister’s cat is gray.The cat at the pet store is gray.All cats are gray.

Deductive Arguments
Reasoning that goes from general to specific.
Example:If you jog, you will look like you’re in
shape. (Major Premise)Jane jogs. (Minor Premise)Therefore, Jane looks like she’s in good
shape. (Conclusion)

More Deductive Examples
Example 1, from MLK, Jr “I Have a Dream”All people are created equal.I am a person.Therefore, I am equal to other people.
Example 2God will reward non-violenceWe are pursuing our dreams non-violentlyGod will grant us our dreams

Evaluating Deductive Arguments
Analyze the accuracy and validity Are the premises true?Can the conclusion be logically derived
from the premises?

Evaluating Deductive Arguments Continued
Compare the following deductive arguments Example 1
People who text and drive are more likely to have accidents than are those who do not.
Jack regularly texts while he drives. Therefore, Jack is more likely to have an accident
than those who do not text and drive. Example 2
People who do not text and drive are more likely to have accidents than are those who do.
Jill never texts and drives. Therefore, Jill is more likely to have an accident
than those who do text and drive
