• View the Vacuum Sales digital story located on the Materials tab of your student Web site for Week Six. Of the two arguments provided in the digital story, which is valid and which is sound? When you are building an argument for an issue that is significant to you, do you think it is more important to be valid or sound? Explain your answer.
To determine which argument in the Vacuum Sales digital story is valid and sound, you will need to watch the digital story on the Materials tab of your student Web site for Week Six. You can follow these steps:
1. Login to your student Web site and navigate to the Materials tab for Week Six.
2. Locate the Vacuum Sales digital story and click on it to watch it.
3. Pay close attention to the arguments presented in the digital story.
4. Evaluate each argument based on their logical structure, premises, and conclusions.
5. Consider whether the premises support the conclusion in a way that makes the argument valid.
6. Assess whether the premises of the argument are true or reasonable, making the argument sound.
Once you have watched the digital story and evaluated the arguments, you can determine which one is valid and which one is sound.
In regards to your second question, when building an argument for an issue that is significant to you, it is important to strive for both validity and soundness. Here's why:
1. Validity: An argument is valid if the conclusion logically follows from the premises. In other words, if the premises are true, the conclusion must be true. Ensuring validity is crucial because it demonstrates that your argument is free from logical fallacies and that the conclusion is reliant on the premises.
2. Soundness: An argument is sound if it is valid and all of its premises are true. Soundness incorporates both logical validity and factual accuracy. A sound argument not only has a logical structure that leads to a valid conclusion but also relies on true premises.
Both validity and soundness are important in building a strong argument. Validity ensures the logical coherence of your argument, while soundness adds the element of truth to the premises. By having both, you increase the overall strength and persuasiveness of your argument.
It is worth noting that achieving soundness can sometimes be challenging as it requires ensuring the truth or reasonableness of all premises. However, striving for both validity and soundness is essential in constructing a persuasive argument based on solid reasoning and supporting evidence.
