question #2
A valid argument is when a claim contains premises of an argument to provide different grounds for the truth of he conclusion that is to be made. Therefore the claim in the argument will either be accurate or not accurate at all. So if the argument is correct then it is a valid argument. Strong arguments can also be seen as inductive arguments in other words. This means that the conclusion will more likely be true since the premises must always give support to the arguments.
An example of a valid argument that I have recently heard was something that my boyfriend told me. He said, “If I went took a semester off of school, then I would be able to make more money. It’s not the case that I will make more money, but I will be behind with school. Therefore I should not take a semester off.” This is a valid argument because it proves that even if my boyfriend does take a semester off of college you will make more money but in the long run my boyfriend will be behind with school. An example of a strong argument that I have heard the other day is, “If you are not nervous you will do good with your new job. You will be able to learn easily if you pay attention. Therefore you will do good with your new job if you are able to learn easily if you pay attention.” I chose this as a perfect example of a strong argument because the premises give a lot of support to the arguments.
