CRTH 10 Week 3 Study Room In this study room we will practice distinguishing and describing simple inductive and deductive arguments. TWO POSTS MINIMUM REQUIRED (no minimum word requirement, but write clear, expressive, grammatical sentences) FIRST POST In your first post, answer ONE of the following questions. DO NOT REPRODUCE THE COMMENTS OF ANOTHER STUDENT. If you feel that EVERYTHING has already been said to answer the two questions, then comment on the deduction of another student. If you feel a student has not made a valid deduction, correct it and cordially (and constructively) explain why the deduction is not correct. Or, explain why you believe that the deduction is valid by elaborating on the argument clarifying the premises and the form. FIRST POST In the first post students should work together to practice simple deduction. The instructor will interject and provide feedback where needed. Consider the following paragraph from Facebook on the following page of their Site https://www.facebook.com/help/330229433729799/: "When(ever) you choose to delete something you shared on Facebook, we remove it from the site. Some of this information is permanently deleted from our servers; however, some things can only be deleted when you permanently delete your account" Let's use the above statements as ASSUMED PREMISES. Then let's add the following PREMISE. "I deleted a post I shared on Facebook." QUESTION 1: What can one deduce from these premises? _________ NOW, let's consider a different case. Let's assume the following PREMISE: "I permanently deleted my Facebook account.". QUESTION 2: What can we deduce with these premises? What can we not deduce? Present some deductions. Try to put the deductions in proper form. If you feel a student has not made a valid deduction, correct it and cordially (and constructively) explain why the deduction is not correct. QUESTION 3: Does the information provided by Facebook logically imply (that is, can we make a valid deduction) that all your information is deleted from Facebook servers when you permanently delete your Facebook account? Try to work out the deductions here. PLEASE NOTE: IN THE FIRST POST WE ARE FOCUSING ON CONSTRUCTING SOME VALID DEDUCTIONS. WE ARE NOT TRYING TO EVALUATE THE TRUTH OR FALSITY OF THE PREMISES YET. DOES FACEBOOK REALLY REMOVE EVERYTHING YOU SHARED ON THE SITE 'FROM THE SITE'? ADDRESSING THAT QUESTION WILL MOVE US TO EVALUATION. SECOND POST In the second post Consider the following arguments. Then, EITHER ANSWER ONE OF THE QUESTIONS BELOW OR COMMENT ON ANOTHER STUDENT'S RESPONSE. AGAIN LET"S WORK TOGETHER TO LEARN HOW TO DISTINGUISH DEDUCTION AND INDUCTION: Argument 1: When I deleted my account from Facebook, the next day I got an e-mail from Facebook asking me to return to Facebook. THEREFORE, when you delete your account you will get an e-mail from Facebook the next day asking you to return. QUESTION 1: Is this argument deductive or inductive? Why? Argument 2: Every person I know who uses Facebook also uses Twitter. Therefore, everyone who uses Facebook uses Twitter. QUESTION 2 Is this argument deductive or inductive? Why?
