1. The Argument and Syllogism:

a. The overall argument of the video; be sure to include details and the main points the speaker used to make the argument.

  • Major Premise

2. Testing the Syllogism:

  1. Based upon the syllogism (the answer to 1. b), does this argument demonstrate Inductive or Deductive reasoning? Provide support. Be sure to only choose Deductive OR Inductive; cannot choose both or neither.
  2. If the Argument is Deductive, test the Syllogism (the answers to 1. b) in terms of Logical Validity and Soundness; be sure to not only tell if the syllogism is Valid and Sound but also show how/how not or why/why not. If the Argument is Inductive, test the syllogism (the answers from 1. b) in terms of being a Stronger or Weaker Inductive Argument; be sure to not only tell if the Syllogism is Stronger or Weaker but also show how or why.
