2. Questions to Answer:
1. *First, identify the argument being presented. It is sometimes helpful to paraphrase the argument. You might consider writing down each premise as a separate line. Keep in mind that sometimes a larger argument might contain smaller sub-arguments. Refer to the helpful tips above for thinking about arguments. Remember that arguments may be implied rather than stated explicitly. Ask yourselves, “What am I supposed to believe after I watch this ad?” and “Why do they ask me to believe it?”
2. ** Look at each conclusion. Now assess the reasons (premises) being offered for that conclusion. Ask yourselves two questions about those premises. (1) Do I have any cause to believe that the premises are true? (2) Do the premises logically support the conclusion?
3. **Assess the arguments for fallacies and/or booby-traps. Do any of the arguments make logical errors? Might the arguments lead you to commit a fallacy?
