Introduction:

We're exploring basic formal logic and how it applies beyond the classroom. In our daily lives, we often run into logical hiccups like misinterpreting rules or jumping to conclusions. But guess what? Formal logic offers objective and correct conclusions. This week might feel a bit tricky for some, but with some persistence, you'll beef up your problem-solving skills to handle life's curveballs better!

Please answer the following questions. Addressing each question below in separate paragraphs would help, The total word count required is between 175 and 300 words. Remember, it's a Q&A, not an essay - let's keep it conversational! Guidance is provided on the "Course Questions? Resources Here" page.

Please give a simple and short example. Is the "logic" a matter of opinion in your example? If everyone agrees with your logic all the time, you are a unique person and there will be fewer growth opportunities.
2. What kind of work do you do or have you done? Please state the occupation title and briefly describe your daily tasks. Please avoid abbreviations like NICU.

This is typically not following a rule or misinterpreting it. You may never make such mistakes but you will see them around you. What could have been done to avoid such mistakes?
4. This question also does not need nitty-gritty symbolic details of logic. Check out section 3.9 for an explanation of logical induction which is extending a pattern that may or may not generalize. In the context of your day-to-day life, what logical induction mistakes have you encountered? You may never make such mistakes but you will see it around you. What were the consequences?
