For the following 15 questions you can just put the number of the question (1, 2, 3, etc) and the answer to that question in your submission to turnitin.com 1. Based on our discussion of the video “12 Angry Men”…the term “beyond a reasonable doubt means: a) beyond any doubt b) does not mean beyond any possible doubt c) it means you have to know the person is guilty d) none of the above 2. What is the basic difference between induction and deduction? 3. Are scientific “laws” deductive or inductive? 4. David Hume’s problem of induction states that for events in the world the “future does not have to resemble the past”. Which of the fallacies that we have studied best illustrates this principle:? The following is a list of the common names give to certain “fallacies” that interfere with clear thinking. As you have learned, these fallacies tend to diminish the force of one’s argument (for or against an issue): Red Herring, Straw Man, Post Hoc, Hypothesis Contrary to Fact, False alternatives (either/or), Mis-use of an Analogy (faulty analogy), Slippery Slope (or Domino Fallacy), Fallacy of the Mean, Genetic Fallacy, Attacking the Person (Abusive ad hominem), Argument from Ignorance, Appeal to Common Opinion Match one of the above fallacies (the one that seems to apply in the strongest sense) to the examples listed below. One the fallacies in the list above will not appear 5. “Of course I am not a Congressman or Senator. I haven’t even been to Washington, D.C. But I can tell you one thing, behind closed doors they only worry about themselves and they don’t give a darn about our country. All they want to do is get re-elected so they can keep the power that they have.” 6. “Driving on the LA freeway is like playing a video game on Play Station Three. Stuff happens so fast you can’t even get out of the way.” 7. “Have you seen all the problems with the Carnival Cruise Ships? One of them was stranded for 5 or 6 days without power! If I would have been on that cruise ship, I would have been mean and ugly. Can you imagine paying for something and not having any fun. As soon as I would have gotten off that ship I would have sued the company! 8. “You’re kidding, you are going to buy “Killing Them Softly”? That was one of the worst movies ever made. Brad Pitt should be ashamed. All the critics hated it and no one I have talked to liked it. You are wasting your money. 9. Joe: “Congress is talking tax reform. The Republicans want to take away the tax deduction for the interest you pay on your home loan. Of course most of them are rich and don’t even owe money on their houses.” Bill: “Yea, I can see where this is going. First they take any that exemption, then they take any exemptions for giving money to charities and then they take away deductions for dependents. Pretty soon the middle class will have no deductions left and they will be paying more taxes so the rich don’t have to.” 10. Ben (who has listened to Joe and Bill above). “You got the wrong focus on the Republicans. You should be thinking about how Republicans are trying to stop Obama from making us all socialists!” 11. “We will never solve the abortion debate. The only way to deal with this is to pass a law that will allow half the woman who want them to have them. We just need to figure out which half” 12. “There are only two options in this gun control debate. Either we take away the guns people want to have or we honor the constitution and the right to bear arms as part of being a citizen.” 13. “I think it is safe to say we are heading for a stock market crash. History tells us that every time you have a bad recession and slow job growth you will have a stock market crash. It happened in 1929. We got to learn from history.” 14. You know something is fishy. We never had any rodent problem in our house until your cousin moved in. Think about it…cousin moves in…rodent problem!” 15. “I cannot stand Al Gore. Looking at him makes me sick. Did you see an ”Inconvenient Truth” where he talks about global warming. He is such a phony, I would not believe anything he says that has anything to do with science.” SECOND PART OF THE MID-TERM WORTH TEN POINTS – You have the Ellen Goodman Article posted for you in Week Eight.
