S-243 Learning Arguments (4)


Argument is made that

1)A big tragedy happened in hospital 2) Therefore Chief Minister should resign.

First, put this argument in logical format. A logical format has three parts.

1) A big tragedy happened in hospital 2) Whenever a big tragedy happens in hospital, a Chief Minister resigns 3) Therefore, Chief Minister should resign.

Now evaluate this argument.

Statement 2) is not true. So the whole argument is not true and it fails.
