One concept or idea that I found interesting & discuss: One of the concepts that I dound pretty interesting in the chapter was the part that was n section C that is all about Judging Analogies. What is says is that when one is judging an analogy, it is important to hear both sides of the story before making a decision. If you only hear one side, then what you know is too vague to use as a premise. After hearing both sides, you need to find the general principle, then come to their conclusion. When I was reading this, I immediately thought of all of the court shows that I like to watch, and how the judges on those shows also listen to both sides of the story, from both the plaintiff and the defendants and come up with both of their main points and versions of the story, before making their overall ruling.

What's really funny is that I just mentioned in my previous post that I had a bit of an issue with coming up with an example for "Reasoning by Criteria." So, after rereading the link provided, I still really don't understand it much.

There isn't much else than what it describes as "comparing against established criteria." So basically you state whatever the criteria's outcome needs to be, then whatever the decision should be made because of it.

I think other than the other things I could fing by using goodle, etc. I learned best what it was by looking onto a fellow classmates blog finchkid3000. I'm not even sure why it would click so easily because it isn't like finchkid3000 delved deep into an explanation, but I think that the example just really cleared it all up for me.

He said "4). Reasoning by Criteria is where the criteria are stated to make a decision.
“I know you’re trying to save money. How about going to this restaurant?” Saying this instead of “We should go to this restaurant.” "

So from what I leanred, here's an example given by me: "My mom's favorite flower is a tulip, and her favorite color is purple. We could buy her purple tulips for her birthday that's coming up!" We should say this instead of saying "Buy mom tulips for her birthday."

1. Reasoning by Analogy
Boys like ice cream. Girls like ice cream. Therefore, everybody likes ice cream!

2. Sign Reasoning
Flashing battery icon on a cellphone means to recharge the battery.

3. Causal Reasoning
Too much fatty fried foods cause artery build-up.

4. Reasoning by Criteria
(This one is taken off the internet. I couldn't think of any good ones on my own.) How will we know when we have succeeded? Let's discuss this first...

5. Reasoning by Example
Eat Subway sandwiches to lose weight. Haven't you seen Jared on the commercials? Jared lost tons of weight by eating Subways sandwiches.

6. Inductive Reasoning
Every Friday I have practice. Today is Saturday. CONCLUSION: I do not have practice today.

7. Deductive Reasoning
All lions are felines. All felines have a tail. All lions have a tail.

I think after reading all of these that these are good valid examples, but I could be wrong. The only one I had an issue making an example for was the one example for reasoning by criteria. I'm not sure why it's such an issue for me...
