Arguing by Analogy was one concept in chapter 12 that interested me. This concept by me giving an example. You know how people believe in the saying “ an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.” This saying basically meant that whatever someone does to you, they must pay the price with equal consequences. By believing in this saying, people now would argue that since the saying applied then, it should apply now. I do not know if I’m doing a good job in explaining this, but people uses not actual facts but past beliefs to argue with analogy.
This interested me because today, people really don’t use common sense. Al they do is believe in what they hear and they automatically believe in its claim. Today we need to make sure that we understand one another and use actual facts rather than believing in what ever we hear.
Hey! So I think you did a really good job on this post! Not only that, but your explaining is correct too! (in my opinion) You are right, people should base their opinions and the like off of facts, not off of rumors and the past. We can learn from the past, but we shouldn't live by it necessarily. The example, "An Eye for an Eye" is still widely used today across the world. I know because my friends in Poland have that exact mentality. Same with some of my friends even now. I must admit I think the same way sometimes too. Anyway, good job on this post!!!
