Chapter 12 CRCB Summary

Arguments have at least one conclusion and one reason. A way to look for the argument is through word clues. The two types of arguments are deductive and inductive. Arguments can be evaluated by determining dependability and distinguishing fact from opinion. Another way of evaluating them is by detecting fallacies. Some examples of fallacies are Hasty Generalization, Red Herring, False Cause, Slippery Slope, Ad Hominem and Circular Reasoning.
