Week 9 - 1 of 3

The Casual Arguments Website and Exercises was useful for a couple reasons. First and for most, is does a great job in explaining what a casual argument is through examples in my opinion. A casual argument carries out the implication that there is only one significant difference according to the Mission: Critical (Casual Arguments) Website. The example that they used, showed that one thing caused another thing to do something which caused another thing to do something which caused another thing to do something. Another example of a casual argument would be: The rain made the roads wet which made the tires wet which caused the tire to loose traction with the road which caused the car to hydroplane. This example shows that from one single thing something happened and from that another thing happened. The rain cause the roads to be wet. The wet roads caused the tires to be wet. The wet tires lost traction to the roads. No traction caused the car to hydroplane. Thought it may be challenging to find real world situations, I believe that this is one that happens a lot during the rainy season. The exercises confused me at first, but the work picnic was another great example of casual argument that helped me understand it better.
