Exercise 4

1. Make a Rationale Reasoning map of the following argument:

You should immunize your child, since immunization stops the spread of disease, however immunization carries the risk of serious side effects in some children.

Copy and paste sections of the above text onto the scratchpad of the editor to proceed.

Hints

• There are TWO indicator words to identify here
• Work out what kind of indicators they are: is what follows each a reason, objection, or position?
• Put the claims in appropriately colored boxes
• Work out how to arrange the boxes into a map: ask yourself which claim a reason provides evidence for, and which claim an objection undermines

2. Check your work against the model.
