Reasoning by example

Out of all the different types of reasoning, I chose to discuss reasoning by example because I find it to be the most effective when trying persuade someone to believe in your statements or opinions. Reasoning by example is when you use examples from your real life. This gives the person your talking to a reason why to believe in what your are saying. The example could possible be a short story. For instance, a good example of exampling by reasoning would be, "You should drink more cups of milk. My grandmother did not drink enough milk when she was growing up in Nicaragua and she ended up having some bone problems when she was elderly." This a good example of reasoning by example because I am giving an example of from my own life which makes my statement more convincing because  the person I am telling to drink milk to will think if they don't drink milk, they will have bone problems like my grandmother. The personing listening to someone give evidence of they should believe their statements will be more likely to be persuaded. Therefore reasoning by example is not only effective, but persuasive as well.
