Discussion: Constructive Dialogue
Briefly describe a situation in which you have been in a social setting and either been involved in or observed an argument based on different opinions about a subject - perhaps a friendly political argument you were party to, or maybe your uncle announces a crackpot idea at Thanksgiving. Now, thinking about that situation, explain:
1. What dispositions of critical thinking were used in the argument? Or alternatively, what dispositions of critical thinking should have been observed and why?
2. What dialogical dispositions were used in the argument? Or alternatively, what dialogical dispositions should have been observed and why?
Choose one of the following documents to read and use in this discussion. In your post, reconstruct the argument in the selection you chose. Identify premises, conclusions (including implicit ones), as well as noting the ordering of premises and sub-conclusions. Note that each of these documents has numerous components; an example of each of these items is sufficient for this discussion post.
