More than forty years after President JFK’s assassination, it’s no easier to accept the idea tha a loser like Lee Harvey Oswald committed a crime of the century all by himself with a $12.78 mail-order rifle and a $7.17 scope. Yet even though two thousand plus books and films about the episode have been made, there is no credible evidence to contradict the Warren Commission finding that the “shots which killed President Kennedy and wounded Governor Connally were fired by Lee Harvey Oswald” and that “Oswald acted alone.” After all theses years, it’s time to accept the conclusion. The nation pays a heavy price for chronic doubts and mistrust. Confidence in the government has declined. Participation in the voting process has steadily slid downward. The national appetite for wild theories encourages peddlers to persist. Evil is never easy to accept. In the case of JFK, the sooner we let it go, the better.

More than forty years after President JFK’s assassination, it’s no easier to accept the idea tha a loser like Lee Harvey Oswald committed a crime of the century all by himself with a $12.78 mail-order rifle and a $7.17 scope. Yet even though two thousand plus books and films about the episode have been made, there is no credible evidence to contradict the Warren Commission finding that the “shots which killed President Kennedy and wounded Governor Connally were fired by Lee Harvey Oswald” and that “Oswald acted alone.” After all theses years, it’s time to accept the conclusion. The nation pays a heavy price for chronic doubts and mistrust. Confidence in the government has declined. Participation in the voting process has steadily slid downward. The national appetite for wild theories encourages peddlers to persist. Evil is never easy to accept. In the case of JFK, the sooner we let it go, the better.

Please help identifying which argument is valid, which are sound and which is strong. Include the reasoning for your answer please.

Answer 1

There is no question here.

What kind of HELP do you need? You need to be specific when asking questions here.

If all you do is post your entire assignment, nothing will happen since no one here will do your work for you. But if you are specific about what you don't understand about the assignment or exactly what help you need, someone might be able to assist you.

Answer 2

I was unclear if this was a strong and sound argument. My take is that it is in fact Strong/Sound Argument based on the following: The murder of JFK was proven by facts years ago, however, other sources have unsuccessfully tried to counter this conclusion. If the government keeps second-guessing itself, then their confidence will decline. If other sources are able to question and show reasonable doubt of our judicial system’s process, then it does persuade criminals into believing that they won’t be charged and or punished.

Answer 3

To evaluate the arguments provided, we need to examine their validity, soundness, and strength. Let's break down each argument:

1. Argument: "More than forty years after President JFK’s assassination, it’s no easier to accept the idea that a loser like Lee Harvey Oswald committed a crime of the century all by himself with a $12.78 mail-order rifle and a $7.17 scope."

This argument is not valid because it is a subjective opinion. It is a statement about personal acceptance and does not provide evidence or logical reasoning to support its claim.

2. Argument: "Yet even though two thousand plus books and films about the episode have been made, there is no credible evidence to contradict the Warren Commission finding that the 'shots which killed President Kennedy and wounded Governor Connally were fired by Lee Harvey Oswald' and that 'Oswald acted alone.'"

This argument is partially valid because it states a fact about the number of books and films made, and presents the Warren Commission finding. However, its validity depends on the accuracy and credibility of the sources it mentions, which cannot be determined without further investigation.

3. Argument: "After all these years, it’s time to accept the conclusion. The nation pays a heavy price for chronic doubts and mistrust. Confidence in the government has declined. Participation in the voting process has steadily slid downward. The national appetite for wild theories encourages peddlers to persist."

This argument is a combination of statements and consequences that are subjective and based on assumptions. The validity of this argument is weak because it provides no evidence or logical reasoning to support its claims.

In summary, none of the arguments provided can be considered strong or sound as they lack sufficient evidence, logical reasoning, and objective support. To form a stronger argument, it would be necessary to provide substantial evidence, credible sources, and logical reasoning to support the claims made.
