Analysis of faulty Arguments And Conclusion

Analysis of faulty Arguments”
 
Go over the three arguments below. (Don’t read your classmates’ posts until youare done with yourown work.)
Then, choose TWO (2) of them.In each case, identify the arguments two parts: what is the conclusion? (There may be more than one conclusion in the passage; this means that you could identify more than one argument per passage.) What is or are the premises? (Each premise and each conclusion should be formulated in your own words; each of them must be a simple and complete declarative sentence.)
 
After you identify the argument, answer the following questions:
 
Is this a good argument? Whats misleading about it? Where is the reasoning mistake?
 
 
 
EXAMPLE 1
 
The following appeared in a local newspaper:
 
In the last school where PrincipalMcArthurworked, he was known as very tough. The teachers resented him. Nobody liked him. Hed often call the teachers into his office and scold them for lateness, lazy work habits, and sloppy record-keeping. When Dr.McArthurarrives at his new position at the Willows High School next August, he will again create a hostile work environment.
 
 
 
EXAMPLE 2:
 
The following appeared in promotional literature for a billboard company:
 
Bye Bye Baby Store installed a large billboard on the side of the 95 highway exit. Sales of baby items in the store increased 13% in the next fiscal quarter. Dr. Mark Baldwin, a local dentist, would like to increase the profits of his dental practice. All that needs to be done is installing an advertising billboard next to a highway exist and his patient load will increase tremendously.
 
 
 
EXAMPLE 3
 
The following appeared in a local newspaper:
 
Two weeks ago, 12 female college soccer players went to the Governors office. They wanted to protest budget cuts for intercollegiate womens sports. In the state, there are about 30,000 female college athletes. Because only 12 women went to the protest, obviously most female athletes dont care at all about the Governors funds for athletics. Therefore, there is no need for the governor to make any changes to his budget allocations.
 
 
 
When you reply to your classmates posts, help them in their analysis. Did they identify the argument in the right way? Is their assessment correct?
