Length: Your submission
should be at least two pages in length, not counting the title page and
references (if used).
References: No outside sources
are required for the assignment.
Details: This assignment
has two parts. Both parts will be completed in the same attached Unit VII Homework Template.
Part 1: Choose one of the
three topics from the table below. Write an argument with a clear conclusion
(thesis) that you have created about this topic. Your conclusion must be a
straightforward one-sentence assertion. Note that your thesis or conclusion can
be something narrow within each topic. For example, “I should stop
smoking” is a thesis or conclusion that falls under the topic of being
healthy.
Incorporate
the following guidelines as you write:
Briefly
introduce the issue or topic.
Identify
at least two premises for your conclusion.
Write
at least one page for your argument and written response.
Your
written response should include inductive (an observation arriving at a
theory) aspects of your argument as well as deductive (a theory that
arrives at a conclusion) aspects.
List
at least one fallacy that you may have committed but have avoided.
Write
at least one unstated assumption that is logically part of your argument.
If
your argument turns out to have a sub-argument (see Unit VII Lesson),
make sure you fill out a template for each argument. Follow the writing
guidelines on pages 273 through 275 of Chapter 12 of our textbook.
Possible Topics
Questions that may help in coming up with a thesis
(conclusion):
Money management
How should I manage my money? What spending habits
can I change? How can I save more?
Study habits
What is the best way to study? What can I do on a
daily basis to study? What can I do on a weekly basis?
Being healthy
What can I do to be healthy? What daily habits can I
change?
Part 2: After writing your
argument paragraphs, fill out the conclusion, premises, inductive aspects, and
deductive aspects in the chart at the bottom of the template. In the second
chart, include your potential fallacies and hidden assumptions.
