Study Notes
Logic and Critical Thinking
- Logic is the study of correct inferences; determining truth or falsity of propositions.
- Human ability to logically infer truth/falsity is crucial for perception of happenings.
- Direct observation isn't always possible; inference from existing facts is needed.
- E.g., if fingerprints on a safe match suspect's, it suggests they robbed it.
- Rationality involves interpreting others' actions based on present, past, and future.
- Inferring Tamara's intentions - cleaning window, rescuing, or suicide - requires understanding context.
Ethical Considerations in Advanced Writing

- Plagiarism is a serious ethical concern, where another's work is presented as one's own.
- Proper use of data and research is crucial, avoiding misrepresentation and selective reporting.
- Addressing conflicts of interest by appropriately disclosing potential biases in academic writing is essential.
- Cultural sensitivity and inclusiveness are vital, avoiding stereotypes and prejudice in writing.
- Responsible use of data involves transparent and accurate presentation, without manipulation.
- Conflict of interest issues can compromise credibility; avoiding bias is key.
