Concept I picked up


                I am going to write about a key concept that I picked up this week; Evaluating Causal Arguments. The top is essential to me because I deal with causal people whom are in my life every day. “The evidence for a causal relationship should be strong;” furthermore, in a causal relationship needs more proof than a correlation relation. A causal relation is much more being tested. “Controlled experiments are one of the best methods for determining if a particular relationship is causal rather than simply a correlation  (Boss, 2010).” Next, fallacies are usual popular false notion, while it makes sense to be influence by popular notion. Popularity isn’t right all the time. Which brings us to the next point, current evidence will hold a higher grown as well for a longer duration. Fourth, the term “probably” in a situation where keeping the conclusion within the premises, this testing the casual relationship. Furthermore, words that give a flexible mean such as maybe will help to not mistake a causal relation for a correlation relation. Thank you for the read…
