crcb ch 12 sum

arguments are logical structures that people use whether writen or spoken to persuade others to support the ideas. word clues identify parts arguments like first of all, second, finally, and in conclusion. these phases are used to introduce the reasons in an argument. there are two types of arguments which are deductive and inductive arguments. deductive start with a general statment where as inductive begin with a series specific observation. decting fallices like red herring (irrelevent material) are important to arguments. there are flaws in every argument, but finding these flaws is important in critcal thinking.
