Casual Arguements

1. One type of casual argument is speculations about possible causes. If something bad happens like a robbery. Police officers have to find the causes. The second one is arguments for an unexpected or surprising cause. Sometimes people try to persuade readers to see the reasoning behind a surprising cause. The third one is predictions of consequences. This predicts the consequences of a current or planned actions or events.

2. One is Violent TV shows could have caused the death of people because it shows ways of killing people on the shows. Another one is, The magazine Covergirl has caused girls starve themselves because the models in the pictures are too skinny.

3. Induction is when we infer general conclusions based on a limited number of specific cases. One example is that Bob is a teacher and all of the teachers are friendly, that must mean that Bob is friendly too. Another example is Sam is a swimmer. All swimmers weigh more than 120 pounds, that means that Sam weighs more than 120 pounds.
