“One that seeks to establish a conclusion on the basis of premises, with a tight connection between the premises and conclusion” (Mosser, 2011, 3.1). “Offer conclusions that, one way or another, introduce information that is not contained in the premises” (Mosser, 2011, 3.2). Valid: You cannot accept the premises and reject the conclusion. Sound: Must be a valid argument that has premises that are true. Strong/Weak: Your premises will provide a strong foundation for a strong conclusion. Deductive Inductive

Issue: Should marriage remain traditional? Premise 1: Marriage, in the traditional sense, has always been between a man and a woman. Premise 2: We should not change the law because few others choose to live certain way. Conclusion: Traditional marriage should stay the way it was intended to be, between a man and a woman.

Analysis of The Original Argument Inductive ArgumentWeakValid

Issue: Should same-sex marriage be legal? Premise 1: Interracial marriage was once illegal. Premise 2: In 1967, the Supreme Court deemed anti-miscegenation laws as unconstitutional. Premise 3: Not allowing someone to marry who they love is unconstitutional. Conclusion: Therefore, same-sex couples should be given the same equal rights in marriage.

Issue: Should marriage remain traditional? Premise 1: Marriage, in the traditional sense, has always been between a man and a woman. Premise 2: We should not change the law because few others choose to live certain way. Conclusion: Traditional marriage should stay the way it was intended to be, between a man and a woman.

Very weak. Nothing to back up this claim. Only facts backing up the counter- argument to this statement. The premise does not hold up.

Know the difference! Deductive Inductive Valid? Sound? Strong or Weak?

Why? Having a strong argument and a good analysis is important. Facts help to have a strong support to the conclusion. Opinion and emotion is not a good support system if you want a strong argument.
