How do i use "syllogism" correctly in a sentence?

1 answer:

3 0

A syllogism is a type of logical argument. It consists of three parts:
1) Major Premise 
2) Minor Premise 
3) Conclusion 

Example (weak argument): 
All blondes are empty-headed 
S is a blonde 
Therefore S is empty-headed 

Example (strong argument): 
All unmarried men are bachelors 
S is an unmarried man 
Therefore S is a bachelor. 

Use in a sentence: 
X's argument was unpersuasive as it was based on the use of faulty (or weak) syllogism

The result of the young seaman's disrespectful attitude was that A. God punished the seaman for his cruelty by inflicting him with a sickness so serious that he did not recover.

William Bradford was one of the travelers on the Mayflower that was sailing to the future Plymouth colony. In his journals, he wrote of a young man who sailed with them.

The young man was quite problematic because:

he disrespected the sick
he cursed the sick and told them that he would help throw them overboard and take their property and,
he was quite vulgar

He was however struck with a sickness that according to William Bradford, came from God. The young man never made it to the colony and was instead thrown overboard.

In conclusion, because of the young man's disrespect, God punished him with an illness that killed him.

Why was macbeth a bad king explain?

Ket [755]

I think that this is a very hard question to answer. I think that many kings, fictional or not, possess both the bad and good traits of being a king.

In regards to Macbeth, he certainly possessed the ambition many would wish for a king. He was brave, as noted by Duncan and the title of the Thane of Cawdor. He was protective, as noted by his murder of Banquo. Macbeth was even proud, as seen by his desire to keep the new title of Thane before taking the crown.

Unfortunately, many of the characteristics one would align with being a good king made Macbeth a bad king as well. Macbeth was too ambitious--as seen by his murdering Duncan. He was too protective--as seen by his inability to interpret the apparitions warnings in the correct way. Lastly, he was too proud--as seen by his refusal to leave the castle as Birnam Wood "moved" against him.

Like anything, one must always have control. Too much of anything normally turns out to be a bad thing. Therefore, depending upon one's individual views, Macbeth could be both a bad king or a good one.

BTW: It's free real estate.

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

5:In the United States, the term fourth estate is sometimes used to place the press alongside the three branches of government: legislative, executive and judicial. The fourth estate refers to the watchdog role of the press, one that is important to a functioning democracy.

6:Why is the media called the fourth estate? The term hails from the European concept of the three estates of the realm - the clergy, the nobility and the commoners. ... It has come to symbolise the media or press as a segment of society that has an indirect but key role in influencing the political system.
