What I would like to talk about from the chapter 15 of the
reading this week is using reasoning effectively. Deductive reasoning is where
the speaker is arguing “from a general principle to a specific instance or case”.
There are many different ways that deductive reasoning can be applied. It can
be applied to groups, processes, or events. Another type of reasoning would be
inductive. This where you show very specific examples in order to show a more
general principle. This is a strong form of reasoning because it allows the
audience to visualize the argument and it also makes it more personal because
of the specific examples. Another form of reasoning is causal, which is kind of
self-explanatory. It’s where one event causes another. The last is analogical,
which is one I was not familiar with. It’s where you show likenesses between
two separate cases. It allows you to make a connection between something that
is familiar to something that is not.
