The Importance of Deductive Reasoning

The Importance of deductive Reasoning Kelly Douglas CRT/205 Alicia Mandolini October 7, 2012 We doctor decisions each and every day everything we say and do is the result of a decision. For every choice, big or small, there is no easy economy for making the accountability decision. The best an individual can do is to show up it from as many perspectives as possible and consequently choose a course of action that is reasonable and balanced at that time. It is important to say what is known prior to making a decision because an individual ask to know what the overall goal is before thought about it.There be many steps to decision making which begin with identifying the problem. If the problem is not identified, the individual making the decision would not have a starting line point where to begin. The role of deductive think in critical thinking is to take information away from the conclusion to prove that the conclusion is true. Deductive arguments provide support for a co nclusion. It makes the strong assertion that the conclusion must(prenominal) follow the premises out of necessity. Denying the conclusion means that at least(prenominal) one of the premises is self-contradictory and thus is not true.The key to the credibility of a deductive conclusion lies in the premises. The process of deductive reasoning aids in the understanding of an argument because it starts with a general description and then start outs at a specific conclusion. Deductive reasoning is fundamentally a guideline for using the premise to end at the conclusion. An archetype of this would be the following. All men are mortal. Socrates is a man. Therefore, Socrates is mortal. There is no room to stray from the argument and the premise follows through to the conclusion.All the information provided tells us what conclusion we need to reach. Deductive reasoning is reasoning that involves a hierarchy of statements or truths. The general statement or premise is made and then arg uments are made that take away all uncertainty and arrive at the conclusion. Deductive reasoning is exactly the opposite of inductive reasoning which adds to the premise in order to support the conclusion. There is no right or wrong way to approach making a decision, but decision making can be made easier depending on the mode that an individual chooses to employ.
