The role of Logic in Modern Argument
Logic is the method to evaluate an argument or a reason. A person with critical thinking abilities knows the right usage of logics to separate fact from untruthful, and motive from irrational beliefs. The ability to gain, manipulate and inform knowledge are the abilities which distinguish human from animals (Flach and Dale, sp. 680). In order to better understand the different entitlements, thoughts and opinions an individual meet, he or she needs a good understanding of logic.
There specific principles and criteria to use logic, if those principles are followed then it is logic. Otherwise, it is not and a person cannot claim to be logical. At the same time, modern argument also demands logic and critical thinking.
The modern communication involves a lot of skills, and every interaction needs a critical thinking in it. The time has changed nowadays. People do not accept whatever they receive in a conversation instead they consider what a second person is saying. People try to find out whether there is a logic in it or not. People enact their critical message and they engage variety of their skills in a conservation such as listening, investigation, assessment, implication and analysis.
Logic gives people an ability to identify the flaws in an argument and it helps people to identify the validity of an information. The modern world speaks the language of science where only those arguments and statements are acceptable which are logical and having facts in it. The demand of modern communication is mostly based on scientific method. Every discipline burrows scientific method to conduct a thorough research in its field. Therefore, preconception prior to investigation is a silly thing to do in the current world. For a proper investigation you need to follow a logical path to draw conclusions.
Logic reflects the way this world works and the way a person thinks. If it is removed from the arguments, then it will be very hard to see to understand the world and perform the functions in this world. With the help of logic, a problem can be solved and you can convince the second person to agree with your point. Giving strong reasons that exist can help you convey your message.
Logic differentiates human beings from animals. The conceptual ability of human being help them to distinguish between various things whereas animals lack this skill. Due to this ability human has developed a proper language to communicate and he has given a meaning to his sound. On the other side, animals lack these skills.
Logic is one of the essential skills that does not build logical thinking only but also assists in exploring the logical situation which a person will going to face in future (Ferreirós, pp. 445). Studying Logic as a subject will train people to construct good arguments and those arguments can be useful in any field.
I am expecting that this course will enhance my inductive reasoning abilities. All the research disciplines conclude their research on the basis of facts and observations. Different evidence is collected to prove the hypothesis. However, it cannot be proved without truthful evidence. Inductive reasoning approach will help me to conclude from an oversimplification (Bao, p. 586). At the same time, it will help me to induct from statistical data and guide to draw conclusions on the basis of a sample.
Finally, a person with critical thinking abilities knows the right usage of logics to separate fact from untruthful, and motive from irrational beliefs. In order to better understand the different entitlements, thoughts and opinions an individual meet, he or she needs a good understanding of logic. Logic gives people an ability to identify the flaws in an argument and it helps people to identify the validity of an information. This course will enhance the inductive skills to conduct the research in a successful manner.
