@ManuelEstrada Weak premise + Conclusion = Weak Argument. Still an argument, nonetheless.
@stevensari Premise is WHY they want you to believe it. Conclusion is WHAT they want you to believe.
Basically, the definition of argument is no screaming, drama, or flipping tables. Rather, it's someone trying to convince you of something.
Argument = premise (why you should believe it) + conclusion (what they want you to believe.) PREMISE + CONCLUSION
(Personal experience) Example: My girl is on her period so she's going to start acting moody with me!
"My girl is on her period" = premise
"She's going to start acting moody!" = conclusion
Tadaaa. Argument.
Disclaimer: Use example at your own risk or YOU will create an argument of your own with your girlfriend. And NOT the type of argument this course is teaching us haha!
@EmmaSmith
Relata = the items (the two circle)
The number 2 is referring to the number of relata's that are shown in the diagram. Example: Mother and Son. It can be three like mother, son, and sister but in the example shown in the diagram, it's only mom and son.
Relationship = the way they are connected
Example: Mother of. It's a type of relation.
Hope this helps.
@AaronMiller2003 Your example is correct brother. Definitely more appropriate than mine too haha! Good stuff.
