2-Inductive & Deductive Methods
 Arguments are 2 types-inductive & deductive

Inductive-argument gives probable support to its conclusion
 Arguments based upon experience or observation are best expressed inductively.
 Example: Dictionary depicts the meaning of word to conclude it. Though it can not be perfect concluding the word meaning.
 Though inductive method is criticized due to its probable conclusions, biasness, generalization & hypothesis.(an idea or explanation of something that is based on a few known facts but that has not yet been proved to be true or correct)
 The conclusion of inductive method is Probable.
Examples:
-Probable
-Generalization
-Dilemmas
-Predictions
-Analogy (comparison of two things)

Deductive-argument gives logical support to its conclusion
 Arguments based upon laws, rules, or other widely accepted principles are best expressed deductively.
 The conclusion of deductive method is certain.
