Appreciate this as I feel less than confidant for articulating how to critically think. Getting a grip on how to do so will likely help my actual ability to think critically.

Like in philosophy, students are taught to question the veracity of the premises. I like how he acted out here his questioning of the premises to show in real life what scholars do to question the premises.

@michaelkylow4411 5 лет назад

I'd really like to develop my "building an argument", I think your videos are pretty interesting and useful. Do you have any suggestions on how could I get better at it, not only at building an argument, but also at counter attacking other people's point of view- without attacking them personally, of course. I would reaaaaaaally like to be very good at it. Any suggestions, please?

@snaplanguage 5 лет назад

Thank you for the nice compliments! As for "getting better at counter-argumentation," I don't think there's an easy way to learn it other than reading a lot of argumentative materials and noticing how people go about it. You definitely need to pay very close attention to what people are saying (hence the video), find holes in their argument, and present information that supports your counter-argument logically. Easier said than done?... you bet! That's something that takes a lot of practice and experience. You often see seasoned writers fall into logical fallacies and build arguments poorly, so I think it is something that you keep getting better at with experience. All that being said, I believe the important thing is to pay attention to someone else's ideas very closely and not simply believe every argument or conclusion people reach just because it "sounds good on paper." Thanks for watching and, again, for leaving the comment! :D

@lika1595 3 года назад

Thanks you but what is " giving side by side reason" ?

@snaplanguage 3 года назад

It has to do with how you present arguments. In *simple reasoning,* you support a conclusion with a relevant reason. In *joint reasoning,* you present two reasons which, when presented *together,* creates a logical conclusion. In *side by side reasoning,* the reasons are independent from each other and each support a conclusion. Essays are often built on side by side reasoning; each paragraph presents a separate "piece of evidence" and create a cohesive whole that supports the main premise (the thesis) of the whole essay. Thanks for watching and leaving a question!

@voltz8945 7 лет назад

Is critical reading and making arguments really that hard for other people?

@snaplanguage 7 лет назад

Well, it depends on how much someone has thought about it. The more you read critically, the more second-nature it becomes. There are quite a few people out there who are not used to read and evaluating the information, asking questions, and so on.

Can premises be reasons,?

@snaplanguage 2 года назад

Yes, in many ways, premises are reasons that support the conclusion; however, when you examine an argument, you just call them premises. Thanks for watching and leaving a question

I just sub to you but u made an argument that i will get smarter through language but smart in comparison what, you? you are a holder of a PH.D i dont even have a Bachelor degree.

@snaplanguage 4 года назад

The idea behind the slogan ("Get Smarter Through Language") is not really about formal education. Language is everywhere. It's through language that we learn new things; it doesn't matter whether we learn things in school or just taking an interest in the world around us. Ultimately, by improving our language skills, we also improve our ability to learn... Thanks for the sub and for leaving an awesome question! :D

@scary5246 6 лет назад

What makes argument valid or relevant? Lets say that someone say "Video games are bad for kids"

@snaplanguage 6 лет назад

The answer is not as straightforward as we would like. To build an argument to support a statement such as "Video games are bad for children," you need to build an argument with relevant and sufficient claims or premises. To be relevant, a premise must be directly related to your conclusion. However, if you present only one or two relevant claims, are they enough to make the point? What is considered "sufficient" is difficult to define. Only one claim is most likely not enough... 3? 4? 5? Well, some people will never be happy no matter how many good arguments you present; others are too willing to change their own opinions based on just one "silly premise." (That's why I started out by saying the answer was not very straightforward...) The truth is that understanding the world around us and defending one viewpoint or another is something ongoing. It needs a lot of research-based information... and sometimes research itself may find conflicting things. This ongoing search for "truth" is what makes it so interesting to be human. :D
