- LD is a debate of values, which can't be proven true or false. The authors use the silly "Diet Coke" example, but can you think of an example of when values are prioritized?
- Identify the following examples as either "inductive" or "deductive" reasoning: a. Ohio is in the United States. Canton is in Ohio. Therefore, Canton is in the United States. b. Spain and Portugal are near each other, and have similar languages. Denmark and Norway are near each other, and have similar languages. Therefore, countries that are near each other have similar languages.
- The book mentions some common fallacies that debaters make in their argumentation. Identify the examples below with the correct logical fallacy: a. You should never gamble. Once you start, you won't be able to stop. Eventually, you'll turn to crime to support your gambling habit. b. Immigration to the U.S. has increased. Recently, the minimum wage went up. Increased immigration led to the increase in minimum wage. c. You cannot listen to Carrie Daily's ideas because she is a liberal. Liberal speaker's ideas are not worth listening to. Since Carrie Daily is liberal, you can't listen to her ideas.
