Logic notes

Argumentation:

1) Identify reasons (premises) and conclusions.

2) Develop your ideas in a natural way. Everything must line up. Make connections and make it unfold smoothly.

3) You must start from reliable premises or facts.

4) You must be concrete and concise; brevity. You do not need to just go on and on. Elaboration is very unnecessary.

5) You must build on substance, not the overtones of words. A lot of arguments are formed to mess with your emotions and feelings using emotive words or emotionally loaded words.

6) You have to use consistent terms that are in continuation with your ideas. Frame your debate with clear terms, and mark each new step with your primary terms. Don't use synonyms or flowery language. Repetition bears memory.
