Jarboe I February 8‚ 2011 Logical Fallacies Before we can understand what a logical fallacy is‚ we establish some common background information for the purposes of accurate communication. There are two types of reasoning‚ inductive and deductive. The primary difference between the two is that inductive reasoning automatically allows for an appeal to probability‚ the assumption that what could happen will happen‚ while deductive reasoning considers this a logical fallacy. Thus for the purposes

Behavior Diagrams Definition: Behavioral models describe the internal dynamic aspects of an information system that supports the business processes in an organization. During analysis‚ behavioral models describe what the internal logic of the processes is without specifying how the processes are to be implemented. Later‚ in the design and implementation phases‚ the detailed design of the operations contained in the object is fully specified. Use case diagrams are behavior diagrams used to describe

Also known as logical empiricism‚ rational empiricism or neo-positivism‚ logical positivism is the name given in 1931 by A.E Blumberg and Herbert Feigl to a set of philosophical ideas put forward by the Vienna Circle. This Vienna Circle was a group of early twentieth century philosophers who sought to re-conceptualize empiricism by means of their interpretation of then recent advances in the physical and formal sciences. Hence‚ the Vienna Circle represented a radical “anti-metaphysical” stance which

or more false premises‚ it will be unsound. A good inductive argument is such that if the premises are true‚ the conclusion is likely to be true. In inductive reasoning‚ the premises may predict a high probability of the conclusion‚ but they do not ensure that the conclusion is true Fallacies Logical fallacies are arguments based on faulty reasoning. They often appear true at first‚ but they do not remain viable under scrutiny. A fallacy is an “argument” in which the premises given for the conclusion

Bottlenecks of the CSA Process Flow By: Tasha James OPS/571 August 13‚ 2012 Bottlenecks of the CSA Process For this assignment‚ the class is asked to identify the bottlenecks of the chosen process from week one. The goal of this assignment is to apply Goldratt’s theory of constraints to identify and overcome process bottlenecks. Goldratt’s theory of constraints is a popular problem-solving approach that many manufacturing businesses implement. However‚ the theory can be applied to almost

Both Class Diagrams and Use Case Diagrams are used in the requirements determination of object oriented development. Object oriented development is an approach to system development that uses the object as the basic unit of systems analysis and design. Use case shows the relationships among actors and use cases within a system. Class diagrams are widely used to describe the types of objects in a system and their relationships The purpose of Use case diagram is that it shows the interaction

CRITICAL THINKING PSU LOGICAL FALLACIES Ad hominem or ATTACKING THE PERSON. Attacking the arguer rather than his/her argument. Example: John’s objections to capital punishment carry no weight since he is a convicted felon. Note: Saying something negative about someone is not automatically ad hominem.

FLOWCHART A flowchart is a type of diagram that represents an algorithm or process‚ showing the steps as boxes of various kinds‚ and their order by connecting them with arrows. This diagrammatic representation illustrates a solution to a given problem. Process operations are represented in these boxes‚ and arrows; rather‚ they are implied by the sequencing of operations. Flowcharts are used in analyzing‚ designing‚ documenting or managing a process or program in various fields.[1] Overview[edit]
