Money grows on trees. $$$

Reasoning Examples

1). Reasoning by Analogy:
Example : Every successful model knows that they should try to control their weight in order to constantly book jobs. If all models controlled their weight then they would all constantly get job offers.
 
2). Sign Reasoning
                  Example: That person has a book bag, a notepad, and a stressed look on his face. That person must be a college student.

3). Causal Reasoning
                   Example: If I'm late to class one more time my professor will give me a nasty look. I was early                        to class so therefore I did not receive a nasty look.
                 
4). Reasoning by Criteria:
Example: If I eat one more bite of this double whipped, caramel drizzled, chocolate chip filled, vanilla, and Hagen Daz chocolate sundae I won't be able to fit in these pants anymore. But I do want new pants, so I'll eat this for today.

5). Reasoning by Example:.
Example: Dogs are a really good pet for you if you want to have a loyal, friendly, and lovable companion. I've received many testimonials revealing how dogs have revitalized their lives and helped them become happier people.

6). Inductive Reasoning:
Example:
Mary : I can't wait for tonight! 
Joe: What's tonight?
Mary: Well it's my birthday and my friends always try to surprise me with a big birthday bash so I'm sure there's one waiting for me at home.
Joe: Am I invited?!
Mary: No.

7). Deductive:  An argument when the conclusion must be true when the premises are true.
Example: Paper is collected from trees that are cut down. Money is made out of paper. Therefore, Money "grows" on trees.
