Which Reasoning Do You Choose, Deductive or Inductive

Imagine you have some fractional ideas and, what is more, you don't know
how to relate them. As a result, yourthe reasoning will be incoherent. While
(grouping) ideas, there are two types of logical relationships possible in a
grouping: deductive or inductive. In other words, to think rationally means
grouping ideas in a linear or parallel line, respectively.
When reasoning is deductive, ideas happen successively or follow one
another. The right succession of the ideas enables its reasoning to be
predicable. Otherwise, the reasoning is all but predicable. For example, you can
think of a situation that you need to put three statements in the right row.
"Identical twins have the same DNA." "My brother and I are identical twins."
"Therefore I have the same DNA as my brother does." The first statement is a
general and universal principle; the second is a specific fact; the third is a given
conclusion. In the case of deduction, illogical reasoning arises from putting the
statements in the wrong succession or in parallel.
When reasoning is inductive, by (contrast), ideas happen simultaneously
and there aren’tdoesn't necessary to any successions. Moreover, based on the
assessment of what is the same about the ideas, you can make draw an
inference. For instance, here are three descriptions whose reasoning is
inductive. "My brother and my sister resemble each other." "My sister and my
mother resemble each other." "My mother and I resemble each other." You will
ask that "Does yourmy brother and I resemble youeach other?" Inferring from
these statements, I would say, "Probably, yes." In the case of induction, all of
the descriptions are facts and possibly happen in a parallel sequence. Hence, it
is not illogical for you to swap the descriptions.
In summary, both deduction and induction present the structure of
isolated ideas necessary for reasoning, giving glue of the ideas. A discrepancy
happens when a inductive reasoning deals with parallel statements; aA
contradiction happens when a deductive reasoning deals with linear
statements.

Hiroshi,

I think that this is a good attempt, especially because we did not have a lot of
time to discuss what a comparison/contrast essay looks like.

This was some comparison between the two types of reasoning, and that was
indicated when you used the connector/transition “by contrast” in the second
body paragraph. That, and other phrases, will help establish your essay as a
comparison or contrast essay.

That being said, besides the lone connector you used there was little
comparison between the two types of reasoning. You started this process in the
conclusion. I think what would help this essay become a comparison/contrast
essay would be to add an extra paragraph and actually talk about how these
two are different or similar, and how using these two types utilize a different
process to come to a conclusion about something.

This week in our lesson I hope to go over the ‘Writing to Communicate” text a
little more closely so that you are ready to write your next comparison/contrast
essay.

There were a lot of strengths in this essay as well. The introduction was nicely
done, and I really like the anecdote you utilized at the beginning. That was
done very well.

You also did an excellent job explaining the two types of reasoning, and your
examples to highlight how they operate were also very well done. I understood
it perfectly! So, you did some things very well this week.

In closing, I have used up your last essay editing ticket on this essay. -
