Question

The following is an example of reasoning from analogy: "The United Nations charter establishes the right of all people to live free of political oppression. The government of North Korea subjects its people to political oppression. Therefore, the government of North Korea is violating the U.N. charter."

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Explanation:

This is not an example of reasoning from analogy. An analogy is a comparison between two objects in respect to elements that are thought to be similar in both cases. An analogical argument, therefore, would be an explicit representation of a type of analogical reasoning. In this case, the example of North Korea is not being compared to that of any other countries based on their similarities. Therefore, it is not an example of an analogy.
