DEBATE REVIEW AND DISCUSSIONS ASSIGNMENT
DEBATE REVIEW AND DISCUSSIONS ASSIGNMENT
The writing of the four page minimum paper is not captured by the five hour online aspect of the online portion. The
focus for the debate assignment is to continue to pay attention to any
definite arguments – the V and T argument structures (identify at least
two), but this time pay more attention to the conditional types of
arguments that may arise within the documentary. These are statements
are include things like, “If this, then this.” Or “Either this or this” –
or any of the valid forms we looked at in class. Once you have
identified at least 4 throughout the movie, diagram them either through a
sentential structure or a symbolic one and briefly describe how they
are used in the documentary. For a bonus, see if you can find an invalid
argument – one that either denies the antecedent or affirms the
consequent.
Finally, give comment to your views on a comparison between the more
definite argument structures and the conditional argument structures as
you have found them in the documentary. As part of this discussion,
indicate what it is have you learned by watching this video that you
will need to be mindful of when engaging in your own debate later on in
the course. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6zQO7JytzQ - talk through the various arguments you have identified within the documentary.
