Yay can't wait to meet you guys!
Anyone want to form an online study group?
Here's a discord link I created; https://discord.gg/fkvvAQTd
Yes! I think working in the field before going to law school is invaluable. I have been a paralegal for five years now (in 3 different legal fields) and throughout that time I have been able to a) confirm that I LOVE the law, and b) build up some really valuable connections.
I would love to join! Thanks so much
Question Type Sufficient Assumption
Summary The argument asserts that a general moral decline in society will occur if we universally accept scientific theories that describe humans beings solely as "natural objects" that are acted upon by "natural forces". The premise for this is that people would then not believe they are responsible for their actions.
Conclusion Universal acceptance of scientific theories that regard human beings only as natural objects subject to natural forces outside the individual's control will inevitably lead to a general decline in morality.
(A) Incorrect. The argument is not about whether or not human beings are enabled to control natural forces. The argument is about the result on morality if these scientific theories are accepted.
(B) Correct. This fills the gap between "feeling responsibility for actions" and "accepting the scientific theory that humans are natural objects".
(C) Incorrect The argument is about what will lead people to not believe they are responsible for their actions, not what will lead people to feel responsible. So this is irrelevant.
(D) Incorrect Some scientific theories does not necessarily refer to the scientific theories that the argument is referring to. This does not close the gap.
(E) Incorrect Same explanation as C. The argument is about what will lead people to not believe they are responsible for their actions (resulting in decline in morality), not what will lead people to feel responsible (no decline in morality). So this is irrelevant.
meeee!!!
