Deductive Reasoning
The word deductive means to lead away.We as humans learn deduction through the study of formal logic.Logic is the science of good reasoning.I remember an exercise in class that we did that involved deductive reasoning, it was called ZEBRA. That exercise was challenging and required the understanding of the many ways to help yourself deduct items. Some of those ways are to set up charts or graphs or to draw pictures.

Inductive Reasoning and Inductive fallacy
The word induction means to lead in.Inductive reasoning is a method used to discover new information or to supply missing information.To inductive reason one may need to use their sensory observation, analogical reasoning, reasoning from enumeration, discover patterns, reasoning with an hypotheses, and reasoning through statistics and probability.
To lead in fallacy one may need to use loaded questions, a false analogy, a slippery slope, and a false cause.I tend to use a slippery slope the majority of the time in my arguing, because I tend to unconsciously like to start arguments.

Chapter 9 TY
This chapter was about arguments.Arguments are based on issues that are presented at the time.An issue can be described as a controversial problem that produces different arguments pros and cons.I speak for myself in saying that there are at least on average four arguments between family members in my home a day.
Chapter 8 TY
This chapter discussed viewpoints.Viewpoints can be consciously or unconsciously assumed by yourself or by someone else.Unconscious viewpoints include egocentric, ethnocentric, religiocentric, androcentric, and anthropocentric.Writers shape their stories through their choice of viewpoint.When we communicate we should be able to respect the viewpoints of others and be able to understand our own viewpoints.
