HUM 115 Week 4 Arguments Worksheet

 

As a critical thinker, it is important to understand the elements of an argument and how certain types of statements can affect the validity of an argument. As you learned in the readings this week, arguments are used to convince us of an outcome. You read about how to identify an issue, the role that issues play in arguments, how to differentiate between an argument and rhetoric, and the different types of arguments you may encounter. In this assignment, you will choose an issue to evaluate, then respond to questions about the issue you selected.

Review both the pro and con argument articles on facial recognition from the University Library and then answer the following questions (your response to each question should be 50-100 words long):

1.     Identify the author and source (publisher) of the pro facial recognition article (using link provided above). Do you think this author/source is credible? Why or why not? (Hint: Review the author’s background, authority, etc.)

2. What is one reason (premise) the author gives for supporting his conclusion that facial recognition software is beneficial and necessary?  What evidence, statistics and/or outside sources does he provide to support this reason?

3. Identify the author and source (publisher) of the con facial recognition article (using link provided above). Do you think this author/source is credible? Why or why not?

4. What is one reason (premise) the author gives for supporting his conclusion that facial recognition software can be detrimental and needs to be put on hold for now?  What evidence, statistics and/or outside sources does he provide to support this reason?

5. Which of these articles do you feel met all the criteria of a strong argument (clear, relevant, credible, complete, and sound) and why (explain how the article meets each criteria in your response)?

6. After reviewing and analyzing both articles, what do you think is the value of understanding multiple viewpoints before forming an opinion or argument?
