4. Lesson 4 (04 Presentation 1)

🔸Position Paper
- A critical examination of a position using facts and inductive
reasoning, which addresses both strengths and weaknesses of the
author’s opinion (Bowie State University, 2019).

🔸Writing a Motion
- A motion refers to your main proposal or main argument.

🔸Presenting Arguments
🔹Fallacy - A fallacy is an error in reasoning, and this usually happens
when we have faulty assumptions in the way we relate ideas.
 🔹Commonly Committed Fallacies
1. Sweeping Generalization - This happens when you come up wit a
conclusion based on a limited number of examples.
2. Post Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc - Remember that two things that happened
after the other are not necessarily related.
3. Poisoning the Well / Ad Hominem - An argument does not become
invalid by virtue of the person stating it.
4. Appeal to Authority / Ad Verecundiam – An argument does not
necessarily become correct if a popular or highly esteemed person is the one
saying it. It has to be validated based on its own merits.
5. Appeal to Popularity / Ad Populum - In logical reasoning, majority
does not always win. The majority of the population’s believing in an
argument does not make it correct.
6. False Analogy – This happens when two unlike concepts or things are
compared as if they were similar to one another.
7. False Dichotomy – This happens when two choices are presented as if
they were the only choices available.

Supporting Arguments

1. Statistics – always investigate how this data is achieved. This could

influence the credibility of the information.
2. Facts - this should be widely agreed on by most people, or supported by
other reliable information.
3. Reputable Opinions or Claims - make sure that the individuals have
the credentials to be making these claims and are respected in their fields.
4. Relevant Personal Testimony - the testimony might be from
individuals directly involved in the issue you are investigating. They may be
able to provide first-hand experience that will help validate your argument.

🔸Arguing for a Position

Three (3) Considerations
1. Necessity - Is it something necessary? Is it something that we cannot
live without? Is the society demanding it?
2. Practicality - considers whether the motion or solution being proposed
would cost too much or take too much trouble to do that we would be better
off by not implementing it altogether.
3. Beneficiality - considers if the general public can benefit from this
solution.
