Mission Critical Website
I thought the mission critical website was much more useful than the cause and effect website because it talked about various topics. For example, I thought it was useful to know all the different types of sentences in arguments. Commands and exclamations are pretty rare in critical thinking arguments but they are the only sentences that cannot be considered true or false. These types of sentences are occur more frequently when you just got into a car accident or at a party. According to the wesbite, rhetorical questions occur more frequently in an argument. Rhetorical questions are questions that do not require or expect an answer. However rhetorical questions are used to make a point. For instance, an example of a rhetorical question is a television host asking it audience, "Who hasn't ever made a mistake?" This question is indicating that everybody makes mistakes. People automatically know its a rhetorical question. Most sentences in critical thinking are called statements or claims as well.

I enjoyed reading your blog on the mission critical web page. I like how you mentioned that you liked and thought the mission critical website is much more useful than the cause and effect website. I agree, the mission critical web page has more sections that provide examples, exercises, definitions and quizzes. I like the examples you gave in your blog. I like how you provided an example and then gave an explanation to why it was useful. Overall, I think you did a great job on explaining how the mission critical website was useful, I think it was well written.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your post! It cleared a lot of things up for me. I totally agree with you that the mission critical website was much more useful than the cause and effect website due to the various types of sentences and arguments. I thought the segment about rhetorical questions was very interesting as well. Often times society uses rhetorical questions and statements for multiple meanings, which stems with people interpreting statements in an incorrect manner. Without the clarification when using the rhetoric, claims and statements can often times be judged as incorrect, when in reality they are valid under different reasoning.
ReplyDeleteHey you post was pretty darn spot on. I could not agree with you more. I also feel like the mission critical website was much easier to maneuver around than the cause and effect site. I believe all the definitions and exercises gave the mission critical site the upper hand compared to the cause and effect one. Going over the rhetorical questions was also a big help. Im sure there are many people out there that were not aware of the rhetorical questions issues. Me being one of them. But regardless to say now they do! Great post keep em coming. :)
