Cause and Effect Website
On the Cause and effect website, the main lesson taught was casual arguments. A casual argument is the relationship between events that cause another but only having “one significant difference”. I liked the example about a how lawyers would approach the situation, it really showed different perspectives and showed the significant differences of the cause of the accident and the the outcome of the accident. With this example it showed how lawyers reason to get a logical outcome. The website also outlines the strengths of a casual argument and what they rely on. They are “how acceptable or demonstrate able the implied comparison is”, “how likely the causation seems to be”, and how credible the claims are. The strengths listed helped me understand how to determine the actual cause and effect. What I liked most about this website was that they outlines things well. All the main points were pointed out in bold and were easy to follow. Though it was outlined well, I found it very unpleasant with the lengthy paragraphs; it felt intimidating reading this especially when you’re tired L. Overall it was a useful website.
Hello K_tab,
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree with you more! The website does give a good example of how lawyers are very good at logical thinking. Also I could not think of any better example for the Cause and Effect chapter than use Lawyers as an example. I believe lawyers main job is to draw causes which led to this particular effect. So lawyers have the pressure to seek out other alternatives or causes which led to this one effect. Also the three factors are very helpful in defining Causal Arguments. Good Job explaining the website of the Cause and Effect. Keep up the great work!
