Reasoning by analogy is when someone compares the argument in question to a similar argument. An example of this would be, the glee club is allowed to sell candy for fundraising so the christian club should be allowed to sell candy too.
Sign reasoning claims that two or more things are so closely related that the presence or absence of one indicates the presence or absence of the other. When there is thunder, there is lightning. Although lightning can exist without any thunder.
Casual reasoning is when one even is the cause of the even after. An example would be if you take out the pan without oven mitts, you will burn yourself. The act of you not using mitts causes your burn.
Reasoning by criteria is defining by a certain guideline, if you will, instead of just getting straight to the point. An example is, being successful and getting a good job requires you to do certain things versus saying, you need to go to school in order to be successful.
Reasoning by example is using example in an argument. You should tint your windows, all my friends tint their windows no one can look into their car.
Inductive reasoning is making a judgement based on a previous observation but the truth of the premise does not guarantee the truth of conclusion. The paper boy delivers the paper at 5AM. He will deliver the paper at 5AM tomorrow.
Deductive reasoning is true only when the conclusion and premise is true. All electrical equipment requires electricity. My lamp is electric. My lamp requires electricity.
Hello hello! I really liked this blog post because not only did you give a definition for each of the seven subjects but you also gave an example of what each of the subjects are. Your reasoning by analogy example fits what reasoning by analogy is. Reasoning by analogy is comparing an argument with something similar and your example was that if the glee club is allowed to sell candy, then the christian club should allowed to do the same. This example fits perfectly because you are comparing two things which are the glee club fundraising by selling candy. Because the glee club is selling candy to raise money, then the christian club should be allowed to do the same.
