The test for an Argument to be good (Chapter 3)

There was a lot of interesting information in this weeks reading.  I chose to talk about the argument section because I believe it is important to know what a good or bad argument is.  As people, we face arguments with other people everyday and it is important to know if our arguments are even good.  In the chapter it states "Test for an argument to be good"  The three bullets are; The premises are plausible, The premises are more plausible than the conclusion, and the argument is either valid or strong.  If an argument doesn't have any of these factors, then it is most likely NOT worth arguing about.  Every good argument is either valid or strong.

After reading this chapter I learned more about arguments, and the proper way to state a valid argument.  I can also tell if somebody is giving an invalid or a weak argument.  This was definitley the most interesting chapter.
