Question #3

For the third and final discussion question this week, we had to pick a section that we had not yet discussed from the reading. This week, we could pretty much choose any section because the first two questions were about things that we could find online. I chose to talk about cause and effect and the normal conditions. I know at times during the semester in this class, we have definitely talked about cause and effect so there isn't much else to say with that topic. I wanted to mostly talk about normal conditions because that is something that hasnt really been brought up yet. For a casual claim, normal conditions are the obvious as well as the plausible unstated claims that are needed to make sure that the relationship between the purported cause and the purported effect is valid or strong. I thought this concept was relatively simple to understand. After going over it a few times of course. It was a very interesting subject and i definitely learned a lot.
