What was useful about the Cause and Effect website?
There were many things that I found useful from the cause and effect website that was provided. After reading through the information provided on the cause and effect website, I was able to understand the subject a lot better. I was also able to get a better understanding of the two. The website had examples which supported and demonstrated what cause and effect were. In the website it states that there are three factors which casual argument relies on. Those three factors are; how acceptable or demonstrable the implied comparison is, how likely the case for causation seems to be, and how credible the "only significant difference" or "only significant commonality" claim is. Another thing I really liked from the website was the exercise that was provided. They exercise was a multiple choice exercise and they gave four different potential answers and wrote a small paragraph explaining why the wrong answers were wrong and why the right answer was right.
Hello there, I agree with you on all points which helped making the concept of causal arguments much easier to understand. I was confused in the beginning because they all seemed like plausible arguments. To sum up the three factors were very useful to sum everything up in the article. I liked how it used examples as well that tied well with the example that they gave. I also agreed that the multiple choice helped a lot in conjunction with the article. It helped you out when you got the wrong answered and explained thoroughly why that answer was correct.
