For this assignment, you will select a recent Op-Ed and analyze an argument in the article using the tools of informal logic.
(1) Select a recent Op-Ed from the list below:
Earthquake aid is effective only if it reaches the right people
Earthquakes, disease and climate change are threats we must prepare for
Tech giants laying off their staff simply won’t work
(2) Analyze one key argument from your selected Op-Ed. You do not need to submit a narrative essay, answer the prompts below:
(a) Reconstruct the Op-Ed’s argument (approx. 200 words)
Explain whether the Op-Ed makes an inductive or deductive argument.
Explicitly use the terminology of informal logic (such as premise, conclusion, conditional, connective, quantifier, etc.).
Make sure to put it in valid premise-conclusion form (P1, P2, … C).
(b) Evaluate the Op-Ed’s argument (approx. 250 words)
Endorse or reject the argument, explicitly using the terminology of informal logic (such as validity, soundness, and fallacy).
For deductive arguments, evaluate whether it is valid or invalid, giving support or objections to at least one of the premises.
For inductive arguments, evaluate whether it is strong or weak, giving support or objections to at least one of the premises.
(c) Develop a counter-argument (approx. 250 words)
Provide at least one counterargument to your evaluation in Part B.
Then, respond to your own evaluation using the language of informal logic as appropriate.
(3) Use proper APA style guidelines to cite appropriate, scholarly work (https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/). You do not need to do a large amount of outside research for this paper, but must properly cite any research you do.
Length:
600-700 words
Judt a few clarifications in generl- The task itself asks you to write an argument based on the 1 article you chose out of the 3 suggested.
You need to read that article and rewrite the article’s main argument in P1 P2 P3 P4 P5…..C format.
Then you need to explain what type of argument you have formed using only the information in the article. Include everything asked in the assignment instructions please.
Then in part b- you need to decide if you agree or disagree with the argument you wrote in part a- based on the writer’s idea/information in the article. Here, if you think you need more information you may use other secondary sources as citations other than the article you are working on.
Then in part c- you will write the other side. In other words- for example if you agreed with the argument in part b this time you need to disagree or vice versa. And you need to discuss why by going through the arguments in your p1 P2 ….C . Again you may feel you need extra information to discuss the opposite side of the issue and if you use other sources you must cite them properly using APA. ( both in-text (writer’s last name, year of publication) and as a reference list)
IMPORTANT: You need to make sure you read the instructions for each part carefully and answer every small question asked in those parts. Always add a cover page to your assignments to appear professionally
