Claim #1: A medical worker doing research on a disease is entitled to break down ingredients in a medication to see the effects it has on a person.
Reason: because a major part of intelligence is being able to analyze, break down and understand, certain things they encountering their job.
Warrant: my definition of analytical skills is being able to break down what is given to you.
No, sometimes breaking down a problem too far will result in a negative outcome.
Claim #2: Johnny had a fight with his girlfriend and in order to solve the problem, he talked to her and worked it out immediately.
Reason: because when growing up in his home, when problems arose, the correct way to handle them was to work it out right away.
Warrant: My definition of common sense is that it is a natural thing and learned from experience in home life and other relationships.
No, because if the child were to grow up in an unstable home, he/she would do things that are common sense to him, but society will believe that the person has no common sense at all.
Claim #3: Johnny adapted to the new car he bought without difficulty.
Reason: because he bought a new car, he had to adapt to the changes in the car he was driving.
Warrant: in my definition of intelligence, adapting is being able to conform to something new without difficulty.
No, because if a person is required to adapt to new things in their job, then that may require formal education which may be difficult.
The claims and reasoning for Claim number 3 is very insightful. I also like the way you defined your def. of intelligence as well. I didnt look at that definition as a possible choice for this claim.
ReplyDeleteIn your first scenario, it does make sense when over analyzing something can give wrong answers and ideas. But the positive outlook is that the medical worker will learn their mistakes and solve that situation again easily before the problem arises.
ReplyDeleteAlso, in the second scenario,it is way faster and natural to solve problems with common sense. With a short term, I guess common sense should be used, but if its long term, then analytical skill is the one to solve it.
