After understanding general claims, it made me realized that I do make general claims and it's a bad habit. I would say things like, all cats give me allergies or some dogs are scary. Then the book goes into contradictories of these claims.
Claim: Some dogs are scary.
Contradictory: No dogs are scary.
Claim: All cats give me allergies.
Contradictory: Some cats don't give me allergies.
Hence, I've learned to use more critical thinking on a daily basis to make valid arguments so people cannot contradict me. It's gratifying when I'm able to make articulate claim that's reasonable.
I believe you did a great job picking this subject to talk about. I agree that "General Claims and thier Contradictories" was a good subject to discuss. You did a good job by using an example from the book. Sometimes using an example from the book is better than using one from your own knowlegde is more effective. I agree with your statement that you make general claims because I have a bad habit of doing that too. I believe the reader will have a good understanding of General claims after reading your exclaimation. Overall you did a great job.
ReplyDeleteThis was my second choice when it came to choosing a subject to make a post. This idea really caught my eye in the reading and you just broadened my view of it. General claims and there contradictories was a good topic to discuss in your post and you did a particularly good job of it. Starting with your defining at the beginning all the way to your example was solid. It was very easy to comprehend and if I had not known of this topic then I would feel very enlightened. Great work on this post keep up the good work my fellow group member.
