The Structure of Statements: Translating If and And Statements

This exercise will help you become more proficient at recognizing, translating, and evaluating if and and statements. In this assignment, find two examples for the exercise; translate the claims of the example into symbolic form; identify an if or anand statement; then assess it.

Note: Translation and assessment are tools we use to categorize statements. Therefore, you will not be penalized if, through translation and assessment, you learn a statement that appeared to be an if or an and statement is a statement of another type.

The completed assignment must contain the original claims, your translation of the claims into logical form, and your assessment of the statement in logical form. The original examples should be three to five sentences in length.

Your assessment should include answers to the following questions:

Is the set of claims an argument?
Is the original claim (when translated) an if . . . then or and statement?
Did the translation of the original claims reveal the statement was a different kind of statement than you originally believed?

Remember, you will also need to provide a translation key to explain the symbols you use.

Present the summary, translation, and evaluation in Microsoft Word document format.

Final Argument Paper

Using the information from the PowerPoint presentation you created in Module 3, write an Argument Paper that takes a position on the issue you selected. Be sure to include an explanation of the topic, possible viewpoints on the topic, your selected position on the topic, and appropriate evidence to support both your position and that of your possible opponents.

Provide a summary introduction that succinctly identifies and explains the chosen issue, including key terms.
Identify and explain one argument (pro or con) related to the chosen issue; either summarize an existing argument or construct an original one.
Identify and assess the type of evidence offered in support of the argument position. This will include identifying premises and conclusions.
Analyze the evidence by explaining how the evidence logically supports or fails to support the argument’s conclusion, and critically evaluate the argument for any reasoning errors, accurately align the argument with the selected topic, and describe the source of the argument.
Next, identify and explain one counter argument (pro or con) related to the chosen issue and related to the first argument; either summarize an existing argument or construct an original one.
Identify and assess the type of evidence offered in support of the argument position. This will include identifying premises and conclusions.
