Question

2-2 Discussion: Foundations of Logic and Reasoning

Read "The Case Against the Death Penalty" in your text and the Analysis Exemplar document. This will provide you with an example of how to identify the parts of an argument within a case or article.

Then, find a recent opinion piece from either The Guardian or NPR on a topic of your choice.
In your initial post, address the following:

• Post the link to the article that you selected.
• Identify the premises and conclusion of the argument.
• Using what you have learned about logic so far, discuss whether you agree with the argument that you have identified.

After you have submitted your initial post, respond to two of your peers' opinions of their chosen essays. Read the articles that they selected and then answer the following questions:

• How effective or convincing do you think the argument is in each essay?
• Do you see the premises and conclusions in the same way as your peers? Why or why not?
