132 Words1 Pages
Deductive reasoning is the basic human nature of optimistic assumption that if you left the same time you did yesterday that you would make it to your destination in normal fashion. This is most likely because you are under presumption that leaving that house at a given time and arriving on time instantly lead to the conclusion that leaving your starting point will achieve reaching that destination within a time frame. These common experiences are seen in common practices of the average everyday life. So what does deductive reasoning have to do with this movie?

The Podcast Kid Logic really hit home and brought back memories of my childhood. As children we had so much trust in adults that if children saw an adult in a certain position or in a certain settings children make up their own logical conclusion of what is going on. The first story in the podcast about Rachel catching her dad swapping her tooth under her pillow with money, Rachel automatically came to the conclusion that her father was the tooth fairy opposed to coming to the conclusion that the tooth fairy doesn’t exist. When she shared her new found secret with her friend Rebecca the next day her friend felt as though she discovered a cool celebrity or some unspoken powers. Rebecca then proceeded to tell her mother her new found secret &

Great post this week, it is very interesting to see other points of views besides mine about the reasoning approaches. Although I think that the inductive reasoning approach is very important, I believe that the deductive approach is the highest form of analysis in homeland security. The reason is because I believe the deductive approach is more cost effective, less time consuming and in a way I think that it is easier to make the analysis more credible to others. It is easier to take something that we already know that is accepted by others and use that knowledge to improve it or combine with something new to create something better, that’s what deductive reasoning does. In inductive reasoning you basically start from zero; there are no accepted

Logic, the ability to create a consensus and deductive reasoning, is perhaps the most important of the three rhetorical devices. Reasoning is an essential aspect of the human domain, one that not only persuades, but also incites mutual understanding.

He starts hisextensive process by re-interviewing the suspects and guessing their potential role in the DaisyArmstrong case. Once he had found out that, specifically, Princess Dragomiroff lied about whoshe was, he had a pretty good idea that someone else was connected to her and that person wason the very same train. He puts his theory into action and it pays off. “If you confront anyonewho has lied with the truth, he will usually admit it - often out of sheer surprise. It is onlynecessary to guess right to produce your effect” (Agatha Christie, 3.5.274).

A good reasoning is a reasoning that leads to certain, true and valid conclusions. There are two kinds of reasoning, inductive and deductive reasoning. Both processes include the process of finding a conclusion from multiple premises although the way of approach may differ. Deductive reasoning uses general premises to make a specific conclusion; inductive reasoning uses specific premises to make a generalized conclusion. The two types of reasoning can be influenced by emotion in a different manner because of their different process to yield a conclusion.
